Bless the Lord, O My Soul

Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all of his benefits:  Who forgets all my iniquities, who heals all my diseases:  Who redeems my life from destruction, who crowns me with loving kindness and tender mercies: who satisfies my mouth with good things: so that my youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord executes the righteous and judgement for all of the oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the Children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. Psalm 103:1-8

Hello Friends. Thanks for coming by. I will not be posting tomorrow, July 31st and also am not posting a trivia question for the next post. A new question will be posted on August 1st. Thanks again for coming and God bless you!

Great is Our Reward in Heaven!

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, ans shall say all manner of evil against you falsely  for my names sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for they persecuted the prophets before you." Mathew 5:11-12

It is gonna happen. If it hasn't already.It's going to happen when someone gets born again. People are going to make fun of us, hate us, tell us the bible is just as story book with fictional characters. That we are wasting our time. That God is dead or was never existed in the first place.....

Yes, it is gonna happen. If it hasn't already. 

But the fact is, we know better then to believe all that junk from someone that trys to tell us something that really isn't true. Because also and for a time, is  alive is our enemy the devil that would try to get us off the right tract and on to his own.

However, if we stay on and move forward with Jesus, despite the attacks that the devil uses in other people, then we can be assured that.....

we aren't alone, because it has happened already to the prophets before us

and

our reward in heaven is going to be great!

Last Trivia Question:

Who was Sampson in the Bible?

Sampson was an Israelite warrior and judge. And he was divinely inspired by God. He was a Nazirite  which meant that he dedicated to the special services of God from birth.

 He was a man of faith, but he failed to break Nazirite rules. And did break some moral rules.

Today's Trivia Question

What were some of the rules that Sampson broke?  Numbers 6:1-21

Thanks for coming by, Friends. Have a wonderful, and blessed day

He is Our Help!

I will lift my eyes unto the Lord, from where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and earth. He will not suffer your foot to be moved, he that keepth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepth Israel will not slumber or sleep. The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is the shade on the right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and they coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm 121:1-8




When we acknowledge God, he is where our help comes from. He is our help. He has made everything and he will not let us fall. Even as we sleep at night, he will not sleep because he watches over us. He protects us day and night from all evil, wherever we go. Whether coming or going. He will keep us forever. No matter what we are going through.

I plan to answer yesterdays Trivia Question tomorrow.


Thanks for coming, Friends. Have a blessed day!

What Our Salvation Means to Us

Blessed be the God and Father, of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that has not faded away, reserved in heaven for you. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. Where in ye greatly rejoice though now for a season if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. The trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor and glory at the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whom having not seen, ye love, in whom though, now you see him not yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1-3

Salvation Is:

God's mercy for us

That we are begotten again (born again)

A new creation

We have an inheritance in heaven that is unlike any thing else we can have

An in inheritance that will never go away

We are kept through the power of God

That even through the tests of fire, we can rejoice because God has a purpose for them.

And in them, they are more precious than gold

Because in the end, when Jesus comes back

they will end.

And it will have been our faith in Jesus Christ, that we will be saved.

What was the mark that God put on Cain after he murdered his brother Abel? Genesis 4:10-11

The bible does not say what the mark was. However, it may have been something visible because it was meant that no one would be able to kill Cain before his time would be up on earth. It gives us the knowledge of God's mercy on us even in our own sin, that after being born again, his promise to us, that he keeps us to our end, just as he had Cain.

Keep My Commandments

As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatsoever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing: but have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:9-17

Love One Another

Dear Friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whosoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.This is how God showed his love among us. He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear Friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God,but if we love one another, God lives is in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:7-12

Cain murdered Abel

Todays Triva Question:

Why did Cain murder his brother Abel? Genesis 4:2-5

Hello Friends. God's love is so great for us. Not because we loved him, but because he first loved us. And his kind of love is so needed in today's world with all the anger and hostility that has been going on these days. If God is really is in us, we should put off the sin of hatefulness and unforgiveness and truly show his love to those around us and pray for our enemies. Because that is what he tells us in his word to do. Sometimes that is not easy. But we can do it or he would not ask us to.  Thanks for coming by. Until next time,....
