Everybody Needs To Know
Who Jesus IS
Today, people still want to know who Jesus is
I know we can’t pave His way with palm branches
And we can't praise Him in person,
But we can still honor Him every day
We can tell people of the great things He has done
And help those that are in need when ever we can (Gal. 6:2),
We need to patiently bear insults that come our way (1 Peter 4:14-16),
Because of the stand we take for Him each day
We need to show love for each other, deeply (v.8).
Being ready with an answer, always for those who ask why
And for those onlookers who ask, “Who is Jesus?”
Why is He so important to you, what will you say?
So we need to let our lips praise His name
And our lives need to express who He is
Matching up with the holy gospel we profess;
Bringing praise and honor to His Holy Name
So let our work and virtue lights shine,
To prove the doctrines that we stand by
We honor God and His Holy Name
When we call Him our Father and live like His Son.
By Peter C. Salmond
Thoughts from my Devotions this morning, it is important to devote some time to Him each morning, so I will remain devoted to Him all through out the day. God BLESS you today.

Safe, In The Hollow Of His Hand
Hidden and Sheltered
Hidden in the hollow of His hand
He blesses those who wait upon his care
No foe can follow, with His command
No, there is no traitor that can stand there
One does not need to worry of sinking sand
No need to have a shade of care,
For God in in control of this great land
No need to be in a hurry for the spirit is there
We are stayed upon Jehovah, safe with in His hand
Our hearts are fully blessed without a care
We will finding Him as He promised, and we will stand
Having perfect peace and rest, with not a worry but a prayer.
We are safe when we put our problems in God’s hand,
He puts His peace in hearts and souls every where
As we follow each thing at His command
Obedience brings God's blessing every time we go there

Our Life, From His Breath
We Breath, Because of the Breath Of God
God has our days planned, so walk in them (Ps. 139:16)
And we exist now only because of the breath of God (Job 33:4).
We do not know how many breaths we have left—
We can rest in and be sure that He our Father does.
God holds our future in His hands, He knows best
And gives us every breath that we take
Just knowing that He’s by our side, walking hand in hand
Takes away our fear of death, and we look Heavenward.
From our first breath to our last, we are in God’s care
When we get to heaven He will be there
We will see Him as He is, we will stand face to face
And we will forever be with Him, oh what bliss.
Oh how I long to see my Saviors face, with His glory all around
God has our days planned, so walk in them (Ps. 139:16)
And we exist now only because of the breath of God (Job 33:4).

Can I Ever Be Perfect
Perfection Is In Him And In Him Alone
Luke 12:1-7
Matthew 5:48 - Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
You can hid no wrongs from God ” (v.2).
So, we are to reverentially fear Him,
To ask for His grace to forsake any sin,
And to grow as true believers should grow.
Yeast may be a blessing in the bakery,
For it makes great tasting cakes and things
But it can also remind us to guard against
The permeating influence of sin in our hearts.
God's perfection demands that we
Have a heart that’s pure and clean,
For His grace unites with His holiness
To cleanse our hearts and to make us pure within.
Be sure your sin will find you out. —Numbers 32:23
God is everywhere and knows everything
About you and about me, so be aware of His great LOVE
Always remember that He is also all powerful.

Signs Of Warning
The Warning Signs
Read Luke 11
Warning, rough road ahead, slow down
Do I see the warning, no, moving to fast
God provided plenty of “signs”
To show people the way to live,
But they kept going, doing it their own way.
He tried everything but, God finally
Seen there was only one way for man
To be forgiven, so sent His Son as a sign (Luke 11:30),
A sign, nailed to a cross, shedding His blood
For you and for me, it was the only way.
Yet so many leaders pay little attention to His warning
The wages for sin is death, and all have sinned
It should of been me on that cross but Jesus
Took my place, He paid it all, dieing for me
Through Him, I am set free to live, for Him
But, we can be the same way. When life is going well,
We tend to ignore warning signs
And that we need to turn around,
Away from our sin, and turn to God
And change our sinful ways.
It’s important to remember that
We may be wrong even though life is good
Maybe it's good, because our enemy
Knows that he already has us, so
He does not need to make it hard for us.
God gives us warnings to prevent us from falling
For in time our sin will cause us to fall
But just because we ignored the signs —and fell—
It's not the end, for God said that if we confess our sin
That He will remain faithful and forgive our sins
Cleansing from all unrighteousness and make us
once again pure within, giving to us a brand new start.
You can start that new life today, if you will only
Put your trust in Him, believing and you will be saved
Walk with Him at all times and He will not let you fall again.

A Penny For Your Thoughts
A Little Can Go A Long Way
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."Matthew 17:20
So what is a penny worth. A penny by it's self laying on the ground, to most is not worth stooping down for, and picking it up. The poor little penny. All alone and not worth much there all by him self. It’s easy to feel like a penny in a trillion-dollar deficit, or when someone is saving for a trip and the flights are over $2000.00 each. You could feel like you would not make much of a difference even if you were picked up and put on the pile. What difference could one more penny make.
Let's look at the widows mite. The Widow’s Offering : Mark 12:41-43
Jesus sat down close to the place where the offering plats were sitting, and then as the ushers took the plates and passed them up and down the isles in the church, He watched the congregation as they were putting their money into the church offering plate. Many well to do business men threw in large bills and large checks. But a poor little old granny towards the back, put in two pennies, worth two cents, you may say she put in her two cents worth. But really what was it worth?
After that Jesus called His disciples to him,and said to them,Truly I tell you, this poor old granny has put more into the offering plate than all the others. She has given to me all that she had, that was her last two cents.
But she did it in obedience to me her Lord, when one is obedient in every circumstance and to the teaching of the word, everything adds up. If every believer, every born again Believer would be obedient and act in faith in all things that I have asked them to do, whether large or small things, it would make a big difference in the Kingdom of God. And they would see then that every penny counts when given for the Lord.
You see it matters not how large or small your gift to the Lord
It's your faith and obedience that counts in the end you see
Because , what really counts is in whom you trust
In this life of uncertainty, do you trust in God, or in the almighty ME
My thoughts on these verses, put into today's time and place
Peace of mind will follow when faith and obedience takes first place in ones life.

Heaven -
Our Final Resting Place
Heaven will be beautiful “a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal” (Rev. 22:1). Flowing for you and me
To enjoy “the glory of God,” which will illuminate heaven (21:23; 22:5)
The glory of the Lord will shine forever and ever
Heaven will be wonderful, and relaxing for when there
We will enjoy a life without pain or sorrow (21:4)
No more pain killers and no more crying, wow
Life in heaven will be bliss with no more temptation to sin
People “out of every tribe and tongue
Hatti, The Dominican Republic, Rwanda and every people from every nation” (5:9)
Will rejoice in praising Jesus,together, proclaiming Him
As the worthy Lamb who died for us and rose again from the dead (5:12).
We will bask in the glory of the Lord’s presence—forever.
But not for one second will we be bored, no never
And like Him we will be; we will see as He sees
And we will know as He knows, no more questions.
We’ll praise Him and we’ll serve Him
We will bow before Him worshiping at His feet
Walking by His side, or sitting at the side of the river
For all eternity, which is for ever. Amen
Each person on earth has a choice as to where they will spend eternity,
What is your choice? To believe and follow, by your fruit they shall know you
Or do you just believe, it says in the Bible, the devil believes and trembles,
Just belief will not get us into heaven, we need to live what we believe. Read James 2
