On my mind right now is praying and asking others to pray for the storm that caused so much damage to areas in Louisiana from high winds. Please keep these people in your prayers. The Lord knows of it all.
Another beautiful day that the Lord has blest us with. His blessings are wonderful. He directs our paths if we but heed His voice and promptings ans if we but follow His lead. It is when we stray from the path that He has set us upon that we do err. Thankfully He is a forgiving God and if we humbly ask the Lord Jesus will forgive us. We need to be doing the work He has set forth for us and not going about our own agenda.
One may ask how do I know that I am on my own path and not on the one the Lord wants me to be on? When we are doing the Lord's work and on the path He has set us upon we will have His peace within us. Where the Lord guides the Lord provides. He tells us to not worry about what we need for He knows exactly what we need and if we abide in Him and His Word abides in us we shall ask and it shall be done unto us. He will provide the needs we have of Him if we but do His will and not our own.
There are those who think them self to be wise but their own words give them away. They profess to be something they are not. If one reads what they write long enough and listens to what a person says, if they are around a person very long, one will be able to know that the person or people boast of their own self and do not give God the praise, the honor and glory due Him. We are nothing and we can do nothing of ourselves. Without God/Jesus/ Father Creator we are lost and have nothing. We all sin and the Lord tells us this and says one who professes to not sin is deceiving oneself and they are making God a liar and His Word is not in us.
Always be mindful of what you say and do. Someone is always watching you. God/Jesus is definitely watching you but their are others who will bear witness to the Lord of what you do and who you profess to be, and their record will be truth and you will not be able to deny it before the Lord. Others see what you do in their sight and God sees both what you do in others sight and say that they hear, but God also sees what you do behind the closed doors and in the dark of the night. The things you think you are doing in secret God knows of and He is aware of it all. You are not hiding from Him, for no one can hide from Him. He sees all, He hears all, He knows all. When your time comes to face the Lord in judgement the things He will reveal of you, the things you have said and done in public and in secret He knows it all, He will reveal it all. Can you truthfully say that you will be in glory with Him or will He say unto you,"I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
I John 1:5-10
5) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
John 15:7-8
7) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Matthew 7:15-27
Revelation 20:1-1
Romans 1:20-22
20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22)Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
