Happy birthday son.

THANK U LORD, IT'S ADAMS BIRTHDAY.

On this day, a few years back, my youngest son Adam was born. He was a very silent child. But everytime u'd look at him he had this huge grin then smile. It brings tears to my eyes now as i remember him then. Now i turn to him now. A man....a dad, a husband, and most of all a godly man who serves Christ. I am so proud of him. He makes this poor dad of his look so bad. But at least he regards me. I respect his opinions, his cheerful positive nature. God must have known one day i would need that from him. Thank you God....for my sons birthday. AMEN.

I WILL MAINTAIN MY WAYS BEFORE HIM.

Oh gracious me!!! The title actually means " i will defend my ways to His face. Are you that bold? Better yet,  are you getting close enough to God, that you feel free to say this, or do this? I am. Because i Trust my Lord entirely. Here is the lesson. Psalm 91. God is a hiding place, referencing psalm 17:8, keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. Look at verse 9. Here is what David was concerned about. HIDE me from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. God is also my devine overshadower. PSALM 121:5....THE lord protects me, He is a shelter right by my my side.
The Lord is also my Devine refuge Proverbs 14:26....In the fear of the Lord, is strong confidence, and His children shall have a place of refuge. In other words having respect for the Lord, gives me strong confidence. If i may slip this in?...having respect in a relationship can give a person confidence. Oh well...back to the lesson. God is a fortress. Psalm 144:2, .my merciful one,my fortress,my strong hold and my savior,my shield, the one in whom i take refuge,and the one who brings people under my authority." So God is my fortress, and my strong hold. Who is yours? In some readers tonight, their strongholds are wrong. No good. Not whats best for your life. They me condoning your sin,if not involved in it with you. Get rid of them, and follow Christ. Let Him be your strong hold. When you follow  Christ, the Holy Spirit will point you to the correct place your to be. Repent and follow Jesus. AMEN.

I HURT......AND I AM HURTING.

Why? Why do people hurt one another? The Bible teaches that in the last days, sin abounds because the love of many waxes cold. Yep, i hear i love you so much, and yet i see very little commitment toward fulfilling those i love you's. Have you ever had your love for someone trashed...with cold heartedness following right behind? Ya know u have. I promise you, there is only one person that will not do that. Of course its Jesus Christ. Let's look at some of the problem. Conceit:The bible says in Proverbs chapter 3:vs 7, Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear the Lord, and depart from evil. Proverbs 26:12 says Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him. Isaiah chapter 5: 21 says Woe unto them that are wise in there own eyes, and prudent in there own sight! 1st Corinthians chapter 8: vs 2 If any man think that he know anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he aught to know. Galatians chapter 6: vs 3 says For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. The Bible teaches to fear God, Ecclesiastes chapter 12: verse 13 says, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Proverbs 3:7 also says we are to shun evil. Be not wise in thine own eyes , fear the Lord and depart from evil.
In Proverbs 3: vs 8 we see that If we heed these words it will be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. So we are told that we will keep better health if we are humble and avoid arrogance and high mindedness. Which category do you ladies and gents fall into? If you think on it, arrogance can lead to sickness. Psychology  problems.  It can lead to horrible relationship problems. Don't  let this happen. Remember, that the mouth can hide a multitude of sins but your actions will reveal them, according to Scripture. So fear God,( respect him, regard him) do not be evil in your actions. God loves you, and so do i.

Good late evening. Before i rest, let me mention the following verse. Deuteronomy chapter 11 verse 19. And you shall teach them your children speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when they rise up. Many times i was ask why i talked so much about Jesus. Why was i so passionate about Jesus. Yes I was asked that right here on Facebook. My passion stands for itself. God is my Divine Refuge he's my Hiding Place. In the book of Exodus chapter 33 verse 22, the Bible says and it shall come to pass while my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a cleft of The Rock, and will cover the with my hand while I pass by. He is with me in times of trouble, Psalm 57 verse 1.... the Bible says be merciful unto me God. Be merciful unto me for my soul trusteth in thee. Yey, in the shadow of thy Wings will I make my refuge, until calamities be over and past.
Okay this is just a few verses. I trust God. He always has my best interest at heart. And thank God he will not go against his own will to satisfy. Its best to be on the side of the almighty.This is the reason why i spent so much time in explaining to my kids when they were young.Now they know Christ personally.  I am blest. AMEN AND IT'S NIGHT NIGHT TIME. GOS BLESS.

Do you lack sense part 2.

Again in chapter 6 of Proverbs. A warning against  adultery Beginning with verse 20 My son, keep your father's command, and don't reject your mother's teaching . Always binding them to your heart, tie them around your neck. When you walk here and there, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you. For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life. They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman. Don't lust in your heart for her beauty or let her Captivate you with her eyelashes.For a prostitute's fee is only a loaf of bread,but the wife of another man goes after a precious life. Can a man embrace fire and not get burned?  Can a man walk in burning coals without scorching his feet? So it is with the one who sleeps with another mans wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. People don't despise the thief  if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry. Still,if caught, he must pay seven times as much.;he must give up all the wealth in his house. THE ONE WHO COMMITS ADULTERY LACKS SENSE;
whoever does so destroys himself.
He will get a beating and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed. FOR JEALOSY ENRAGES A HUSBAND,AND HE WILL SHOW NO MERCY WHEN HE TAKES REVENGE. He will not be appeased by anything or be persuaded by lavish bribes.  This scripture was from the 6th chapter of Proverbs. Parents warn your kids. Amen.

Do you lack sense?

Proverbs chapter 6 describes many things we need to know. But before I go there verse 5 of The Book of Proverbs beginning with verse 15 says this" Drink water from your own cistern,water flowing from your own well.Should springs flow in the streets,streams in the public squares? They should be for you alone and not for you to share with strangers.Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.  

A loving deer  a graceful doe- let her breast always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever. 

That was verses 15 thru 19.

Now lets switch gears! Why,Son,would you lose yourself with a forbidden women or embrace a wayward women? For man's ways are before the Lord's eyes. and He considers all his paths. A wicked man's iniquities will trap him; he will become tangled in the ropes of his own sin.He will die because there is no discipline, and be lost because of his great stupidity. The latter was from verses 20-23. This chapter 5 is telling us to enjoy our marriage. Do not take up with a loose woman. There is no need. Drink from your own cistern it says.Thank you Heavenly Father for this wisdom. I have 2 great sons of my own. I love them both. Follow Gods advice here in His word. He will bless you beyond words.
