God of all comfort!

 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭

Oh how many times have I received the comfort of God! Thank you Lord. May I and you use the comfort God gives us to comfort others who will go through the same situations we have faced. It is a beautiful thing to love and comfort others and thus pass on the love of God!

Be ready!

 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;”

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭

As a follower of Jesus we are to be able to tell others why we believe what we believe. Our Hope-Jesus! Can you? Do you?

Chew on that and act on it!

Tom

Mind your own business!

 “Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.””

‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭

A reminder to all of us to mind our business and do what God has willed for us!!!

Tom

Have you?

 “giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭

Have you given thanks lately for all things to God?

Chew on that today!

World vs. Bible

 Seen this a few weeks ago. Wanted to share it with you:

WORLD: live your truth

BIBLE: Jesus is Truth

WORLD: you do you

BIBLE: obey the Lord

WORLD: be your authentic self

BIBLE: be who God created you to be

WORLD: follow your heart

BIBLE: you need a new heart

WORLD: love is love

BIBLE: God is love

Listen to and obey God’s Word not the world.

Anything to hard?

 “Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”

Jeremiah 32:26-27 

Here Jeremiah had been told by God to purchase some land even though they are currently in captivity to Babylon! Jeremiah of course had questions about that to God. God told him the verse above and also told him they would once again take back the land Babylon had taken!

Nothing is beyond God’s hand remember that!

Our righteousness!

 ““Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

Jeremiah 23:5-6 

Remember…man has no righteousness in himself! Our righteousness comes from the shed blood of Christ!
