Wrong scripture posted

 Good morning friends. In my Bible study this morning I found I had made a mistake in my post on July 27th.  The scripture reference I gave in Psalms was incorrect but I have now corrected it. I am so sorry  and pray. that it did not confuse you! Thank you for your patience with me.

1 Peter 3:15

 

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. Romans 3:15

Micha 6:8

  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micha 6:8

There are times in my life, where I have wondered what God is doing in my life. And what am I supposed to be doing in this season in which I find myself.

Friends, the Holy Word of God, is where we find our answers. Because indeed, he has given us the answers for our lives there. And I think the very basic in our walk with Him comes from Micha 6:8.

We may not always know where we are going. Or what we are to do. But we do need to practice our faith. To let His Word be our guide.

If we don't, then what good is just reading the Bible? It's our self-help book. Unlike those of the world that wants to teach us the wrong ways to go, we can have the confidence that the Bible is the first place we should go. And maybe the only one as well.

Indeed, we are to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with our Father in heaven. 

But how do we do these things?

Walking justly is having a sense of right and wrong. God Himself is a just God.

That is why he sends those to hell if they do not accept his free gift of salvation, 

So, we must start there. The acceptance of His gift.

Next, we are to love mercy. We must show our love to others. Not just for those that are easy to love. But what about those that are not easy to love?

Do we work in a food pantry for the needy and then behind their backs resent them because they are getting free food when for years, we have worked hard for what we have gotten or achieved?

Granted, there are many that do take advantage of the system. But we are not to question why? Unless we can offer then help or the hope in God. He simply tells us to feed them.. Read what Romans 12:20 says:

To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink...

Lastly in this passage, we are to walk humbly with our God. But what does that mean?

It means to be in a close relationship with Him. To understand His greatness and our own frailties To be humble and not prideful.

To do these things, it sometimes takes practice. But they are what God requires of each of us. And when the day comes that we actually get to stand before Him, He will reward us for what we have done on earth. Mathew 5:12

Thank you for stopping by. I hope this scripture encourages you to practice your faith. We are not to just read the Bible or listen to a sermon. We are to put into practice those things God is teaching us.

I pray this has been helpful for you today.

Until next time:

May God richly bless you

according to His riches in glory!

Job 19:25

Good morning, Friends

I am so thankful to God for His love. And His help. The end of February has been...well not so great. I have gone through some personal situations that would have sent me spiraling downward if I had not been able to go to the Lord and count on Him. 

At the same time, someone in my family was going through her own trial and I tried to be there to support her.

I have to be honest with you. I do not like the trials that God sometimes lets us go through.

But in the midst of it all, I can also honestly say that my trials, my family member's trials do not compare to those of Job in the Old Testament.

He lost everything he had. His family. His wealth. Even his health suffered.

Yes, it seems he complained to me. 

And yet, these were his words in the midst of it all:

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth   Job 19:25

We often complain about our daily problems in this life. And granted they are not fun. And sometimes like Job's problems, they can be devastating to us. 

But just like Job, we can share with him the good news of it. That as Jesus said in John 16:33, "In the world we will have troubles, but take heart for I have overcome the world."

One day our troubles will end just like they did Job. And we will be with Jesus forever.

Boy, do I look forward to that day in my life. I am thankful for the hope that is in me.

In the meantime, I rejoice that I can also say, " I know that my Redeemer lives."

I pray that no matter what you are facing today, if anything-that you too have that hope.

Because Friends, it is the best thing we can have in these days whereby life sometimes gives us trouble.

Thanks for sticking with me during the past weeks and I am glad to be back again. God is good!

And may He bless you!

Romans 1:16-18

 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
