Work and Eat
This is one of my Paintings of a Sheep Station Homestead.
Where people do work for their Daily Bread.
In the Gascoyne Area – North West Australia.
……..
2 Thessalonians: Chapter 3 verse 10
……”If a man will not work,
he shall not eat”
***
This makes us really think, do we truly work for God in all the ways He wants us to.
He supplies all our food, all our needs; we are not to be bludgers of our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ nor of the world.
We are to use the gifts He has given us to work for the Kingdom, in everyday ways and in Spiritual ways.
*****
So there we are – whether our work is humble or great, we need to get on and do it. Not wait for others to do for us what we should be doing to earn our daily bread.
If we help others – that is still working for God – He says in the Commandment’s – Love your neighbour as yourself. That really means I believe to be friendly towards them, not gush over them with pretend love.
Work for God can be done in many ways, not just for money.
It is surprising what gifts of love come to us in the form of food sometimes in exchange for our help.
God Blesses us day by day, especially as we work for The Kingdom of God.
This is part of my work to send forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the hope that you and whoever else reads these Blogs come to the knowledge and love of The One True God (that’s if you have not already done so) who is – Our Father in Heaven.
God Bless you with something
nice to eat today.

Amen
My Help
Psalm: 121 verse 2
My help comes from The Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.
***
Thank you Lord God my help
does come from you.
*****
Have you ever thought about the fact that God really did make the Heavens and the Earth?
I like to look at some of the Travel DVD’s or films that show some of the wonders of our world.
No human being can make a Sunset, we cannot make the wind, or the rain. The mountains, the waterfalls the wonderful Flowers, Birds, Animals, Butterflies – can you make any of these? What about the Snow the Birds Feathers? How can people say there is no God.
We do understand that there are many God’s in our lives i.e. the God of money, lust, envy etc., etc.,
But as Christians we believe that the one True God our Father in Heaven made us in the likeness of Jesus Christ his only Son.
We did not evolve and neither did the animals or trees, each are given their own seed to propagate just as God made us all in the first place when he made this earth that we live on at the moment.
*****
You can read about these things in Genesis
in The Holy Bible.
God Bless You Today
Have a lovely Day.
Walk in the JOY of The Lord.
Blameless ?
Oh! That we could be Blameless,
what a blessing we could be to others.
Psalm: 119 verse 1
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of
The LORD.
****
Let us even today try to walk a more blameless life, if we take one day at a time it is not quite so difficult.
We can ask The Holy Spirit to help us and guide us today to become more Christ Like.
How blessed we shall feel when we have done something according to the law of God and not entered into sin for the day.
*****
Well it is a new day today, a whole new day to practice not to get into sin.
So what is sin?
It can be lots of things, our own thoughts for instance can be sinful, our actions can be sinful i.e. like looking at things we should not be looking at. Also coveting our friends belongings, indulging in bad eating or bad drinking habits, being slothful, lazy…..oh! dear I had better stop as the list goes on and on and on…. so I say Help me Lord!
When I say that He allows The Holy Spirit to help – that is a real blessing, the thing to remember is that we do need to ask. If we don’t ask we don’t get the help that we need to overcome.
It is lovely to think that we can overcome lots of sinful things just by asking for help.
Praise The Lord.
Today is a NEW DAY to practice God’s Way.
May God Bless us today as we honour JESUS Christ our Lord.
I pray that we have a lovely overcoming Day today.
Make Music to God
Psalm: 92 verse 1
It is good to praise The LORD
and make music to your name,
O Most High.
***
The Lord Jesus and God our Father loves to hear music either by singing or by playing an instrument.
If you are not gifted to play a musical instrument then lift up your voice and sing.
You cannot say you cannot sing because God gave you your voice and He loves to hear it,
so sing in your house,
sing in the bath or shower,
sing in the car
but best of all sing in the congregation.
*****
Are you Singing – Are you Singing. ?

Feeling Lonely?
Are you feeling lonely today?
Are you feeling lonely today? How about submitting yourself afresh to Jesus, ask Him to come into your life even more to-day.
Then thank Him for all your blessings and pray with the help of ….. The Holy Spirit.
*****
If you have never asked Jesus into your heart,
now is a good time to ask Him to come in.
With God The Father, Jesus Christ His Son plus The Holy Spirit in your life, you will never be on your own again because you are immediately Born into God’s Spiritual Kingdom.
Then let a Christian know that you have done this. Because the declaration of your faith makes it become active!
We who are Christians know this to be true and know that it is good to submit ourselves afresh to God each day.
***
If you are not sure still how to become a Christian here is a Prayer you can pray:
Naked:- Job: Chapter 1 verse 21.
Job: Chapter 1 verse 21.
“Naked I came from my mothers’ womb
and naked I shall depart.
The Lord gave and The LORD has taken away;
may the Name of The LORD be praised”
*****
The above was said by Job and it is true, naked we came into this world and naked we shall leave it. So while we are here let us bless those around us as best we can, especially our family. Let us see them enjoy some of the assets we would eventually leave them when we die by giving now while we are alive.
Let us share in their enjoyment.
Maybe it could be just a special little heirloom we are saving for them , or, maybe finance we are saving for them. If they are in need as some young families are, let us be gracious and try to help.
Today let us remember – we cannot take any thing with us when we go, that also includes our love. Let them know you love them. Our families do need our love more than maybe they or we realize.
The LORD surely blesses us us as we bless others.
Today let us think on our nakedness
before – The LORD.
***
May God Bless you today.
======
Luke: Chapter 13 verse 3
Luke: Chapter 13 verse 3.
I tell you no!
But unless you repent,
you too will all perish.
***
Jesus said the above words – you may like to read a bit more of that Chapter to know what it is about.
Surely it is a small price for us to pay,
to repent and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!
***
Well what does it mean to repent…..
As far as I know it means that we are very sorry for the wrong things that we have done or are doing in our life and would like God to forgive us. As soon as we ask Him to forgive us,(that means we are repenting of doing those wrong things). It also means that we do not want to do them again. Then we can ask Jesus to accept us just as we are and He will.
To acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life is a marvellous thing. To know that you have repented and will go to Heaven when you leave this Earth is something to look forward to.
*****
May God Bless you today – so that you can be a Blessing to others.
…
Psalm: 95 verse 6
Psalm: 95 verse 6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before
The LORD our Maker.
***
The LORD God is our maker,
He made us especially for Himself,
what a privilege to kneel
before The Maker of the Universe.

Yes Jesus Love’s You
*
Luke: Chapter 10 verse 20
Luke: Chapter 10 verse 20.
“However,
do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you
but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven”
…..
Jesus said this to His disciples,
if it applied to them it certainly applies to us.
It is marvellous to think that our names as Christians
are written in a book in Heaven.
You may like to read the whole reply that Jesus said:
starting at verse 18.
It is certainly something that we should be very glad of.
I Pray that God will Bless you
and your family today.
*****
Exodus: Chapter 15 verse 2
Exodus: Chapter 15 verse 2.
The Lord is my strength and my song;
He has become my Salvation.
He is my God and I will praise Him,……….
*****
Yes – The Lord is my strength and my song.
He is my Salvation…..I do want to sing to Him and praise Him and thank Him for all the wonderful things that He has done for me,
all the blessings that He freely gives afresh each day.
Allelujah!
Have you thanked Him today for anything,
even one little word of thanks to God is a mighty blow to the devil.
*****
YOU MAY LIKE TO READ THE ABOVE BIBLE READING YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN BIBLE..
Or you may like to Praise The Lord right where you are, I pray that there is something special however small that you can thank Jesus for.
May God Bless you today.
