Losing it all…

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

It will be hard if I lost all my possessions. I know they are only things, and I cannot take them with me when I die. They are important but can never replace life. They are earthly things that can be rebuilt.

In the Bible, a man called Job lost everything, but he never cursed God. He gave him praise.

One thing I can never lose is my salvation. I am God’s child. My sins have been washed away. And my name is written in the book of life.

I can never lose the Lord because He is everything, and He provides everything. If you have the Lord in your life, He is all you need.

Cook or Go Hungry

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Cooking is no longer a household chore I run from like the plague. I now seek out new recipes to experiment on and watch my family struggle to digest.

Fact is, I am blessed. I have food to work with whereas some people in the world go to bed hungry. It may not even be people in a far way country but could be folks next door.

I have much to give thanks to my Lord.

Out of place and in my place

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

There are many times I feel out of place, not because of how I look or behave, but because it is how others view me. That is one reason or sometimes.

I most often go along to the beat of a different drum, which at times is not heard by a majority. Then, when I catch myself and look around and I realize I am alone.

Do I feel uncomfortable? Sure.

I stop feeling sorry for myself and think of my blessings. I thank God and try to fly like an eagle.

Back to the stone age

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

Computers are important whether we want to to admit it or not. They make it easier to complete work. We can retrieve data much faster, and we have access to a vast amount of information.

Our world is run by computers, making it impossible to live without them.

For some countries, having a computer can grant access to different worlds of education.

Forgiveness is the key

What skill would you like to learn?

As I learn to forgive, I feel a freedom deep in my soul. God forgave us. I must try to follow that example.

But it is not easy. I want to plot their demise. I shouldn’t. The Lord said, vengeance is mine. I will repay.

God has my back.

Amen.

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Working on my walk, also known as my relationship with the Lord.

Falling…

Yet To Be 310

Although we may fear the uncharted, all the things hidden around the corner, the Lord is in control.

He remains faithful when we fall.

He catches us and holds us close when we are afraid.

There is no one like Him.

If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2 verse 13.

He loves us.

Journey to the Resurrection

Yet To Be # 309

“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27 verse 46.

This is not a question that the Lord Jesus needed to be answered.

He knew why God could not look at him. Why God had to turn his back on his only begotten son.

He knew hanging on the cross, crucified for the sake of the world he was made sin by taking our sins on himself. He became the true sacrifice.

This was the work that the Father gave him to do.

And he fulfilled this work in perfect obedience.

In perfect satisfaction to God.

“God is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look upon sin.” Habakkuk 1 verse 13.

There Is No Shame

Yet To Be # 308

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashame: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame. Isaiah 54 verse 4.

His words are true. His love is real.

His promises can never fail.

With his blood, he has bought our hearts.

Now, seen in him, we will never part.

Standing in faith, there is no shame, no press of fear.

Because the God of peace, our eternal Lord, is here and will remain near.

Yet To Be # 307 – Remembered in our hearts all ways not just at Easter.

What is the significance of Palm Sunday?

It is a Christian celebration with its origin in Biblical times.

Matthew 21 verses 1 to 9 and John 12 verses 12 to 16.

And when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isaiah 62 verse 11.

Jesus traveled through the city of Jerusalem on a simple donkey. The crowds cast palm branches along his path, crying Hosanna in the highest.

Hosanna means Pray, save us.

In Biblical times a King would ride into the city on a horse as a symbol of war, but when he entered the city on a donkey, it was considered a symbol of peace.

Jesus riding on the donkey is seen as the Messiah coming to his people in peace.

He came to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19 verse 10
