My beloved brethren in Christ, greetings, it is my prayer that on this beautiful day, you are having a blessed day and are found, abiding in the Lord and that His joy it's still your strength and not the arm of flesh, whether it is our own arm or someone else's.
Let us on this day focus on remembering that there's hope for our lives, as we seek daily the Lord, to give us the direction we need in and for our lives, through prayer. For we know that as we seek Him daily in His Word and in prayer, He grants us the direction or guidance, that we so desperately need in this world, so that we can remain in the center of His will, which is by allowing Him to put us, at the right place at the right time.
For remember that He is the Light of this world and our Bright and Morning Star, as it says in John 1:9 "That (or Jesus) was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." So by this we know that the Lord is the Light or direction and enlightening, of every man that is born in this world, saint and sinner alike, but we know that with the unrighteous, He moves sovereignly and because of His great love and compassion that He has for them and for their lives, He makes a way for them, by also giving them direction they need, when they are in trouble or are being judged by Him, because of their sins. And also when He guides them to Him, by and through the hearing of the gospel, so they can be saved. And we know that these are the only times that the Lord gives them light or direction for and in their lives, because of His great love and mercies that He has towards them! The Lord is truly a God of love and there's none and will never be anyone like Him!
But for us His children and saints, through the atonement and righteousness of Jesus upon us, we know that when we seek Him daily in His Word and in prayer, as well as through Praise and Worship, we receive from Him, the impartation that gives us His wisdom, understanding, strength, discernment and continual guidance or direction, that we need in this world, so we can make it through and to Heaven, as He promises us in Psalms 32:8 "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."
Saints: our God is truly Mighty, for ONLY He can guide us with His eye! And also as He has just given me this scripture to give unto you, in Proverbs 16:3 "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."
So my beloved brother or sister in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, let us commit unto Him all of our works or heart's desires, through prayer, according to His will for our lives, so He can establish our thoughts! But let us remember to "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness (or ways) and all these things (or what we desire for Him to do for us, according to His will for us) shall be added unto us," as He says in Matthew 6:33.
Let us also remember that when we don't seek Him, in His Word and in prayer, we then are lead by our flesh and by the devil in our lives, and then the scripture is fulfilled, which says in Proverbs 14:2 "There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." And what the Lord through our beloved brother in Christ, Paul the Apostle says in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Also we know that this scripture means being judged or punished for serving sin in this world, I say also because we know that first the Lord means the wages (or penalty for sin) is death or eternal damnation in Hell!
So let us be strong and continue to pray until the Lord comes through for us, for He will not delay in answering our prayers, for remember that the Lord works in His time, and as He always tells me, He sees and knows the end from the beginning and we do not, so He knows what is best for you and I.
Remember that the Lord's understanding is infinite, as it says in Psalms 147:5 "Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite." So we can trust in Him and in His wisdom, for this is why He tells us to "Trust in Him with all of our hearts and to not lean on our own understanding, but in all of our ways to acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths," in Proverbs 3:5-6.
And also the Lord wants me to give you these three scriptures, for you to always keep in your heart and life, for He loves you greatly and more than anyone could ever love you in this world, and wants you to remain strong for Him and in Him, to not give up on Him and to not give up upon life, for remember if Jesus overcame, so will we, as He promises us in John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
(1). Isaiah 46:3-4 "Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am He and even to hoar (or gray) hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
(2). Psalms 27: 14 "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
(3). Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
So remember to keep the Lord as the Apple of your eye and to keep seeking Him daily, in His Word, prayer, praise and worship and to take Him along with you, wherever He leads you, for He loves you greatly and loves to be intimate with you, for remember He is the Sweet Lover of your soul and the Friend that sticks closer than a brother, as it says in Proverbs 18:24.
Have a blessed day and remember that Christmas is ONLY about Jesus, His ways and love for humanity, especially towards the poor and needy in this world, both spiritually and physically and NOT about Santa Claus, the flesh or the world!
God bless you, always and go in peace and with God!!
