The One-Lane and the Bridge

Engineers designed the one way-traffic lane and the bridges that carry us overs gaps years ago. However, that was not a first. 

     Jesus gave us the one-way lane to heaven! It was through Him! 

     Jesus gave us the bridge to His Father. It was through Him!

 

Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NIV

 

I pray everyone choses the one-way to heaven. Please don’t be caught going the wrong way.  Believe and accept Jesus Christ. He is the Savior, the Son of God.

 

A Finished Project

How many projects have you ever left unfinished? I’ve had a few. I’ve also had some that didn’t come out right and got tossed in the trash. I don’t know of anything that God ever left unfinished. I also know of no plans God formed that got tossed in the trash. What He has not finished yet, He will. 

    God finished His creation.

    He finished leading the Israelites to the Promise Land.

    He finished giving us His Son, who then finished the Salvation Plan for man..

    Jesus told us he was going to prepare a home for us- and He has..

    Jesus said He would return again, and He will.

    God has told us there will be a judgment seat we are to stand before, and there will be. 

God also said that He would never leave me, and He won't.

God said He would be around to help me, and He is. 

Jesus said He would send a Helper, and He did. 

The Holy Spirit is never finished with me.

I am a project of my Lord, and He will never toss me away.

I truly look forward to my Lord's finished projects. 

Test Me

2 Corinthians 13:5a says, “Examine yourselves to whether are in the faith; test yourselves.” 

 

Psalms 139:23-24a says, “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me.” 

 

I need to examine myself daily; I need to welcome God’s daily examination of my heart. There is a test going on here. Where once, I thought my testing would end when I graduated from school, I was wrong. The testing occurs every day, and I need to welcome it. The exam keeps me growing daily. As long as I follow in the steps of 2 Timothy 2:15 maybe I can achieve an “A” on my report card. “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 

 

Walk on the Water

 Walk on the Water  

God will not let you sink.

It’s written in ink-

In the pages from days ago.

It’s there to help you move mountains and grow. 

The Lord says, 

“Walk on the water, my sons and daughters.

Do not doubt, I will bring you out of the drought.”  

Fear not!

Take God’s hand.

Let Him walk with you across the land.

Let Him bless with all He has planned.

“Come to me,” is Jesus’s plea.

You will not sink-

It’s God’s promise and sealed in ink.

“Come,” He said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus...Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ He said, ‘Why did you doubt?’” Matthew 14:29,31

 

 

Fruits of Kindness

In the Book of Luke when Jesus told Simon Peter to put down his nets, Peter trusted enough to do it, but reading further in verse 7, Peter “signaled to their partners to come and help them.” 

     Often, we all need help, but we need to be willing to help out, as well. Kind acts are the fruits of labor and of our day. 

Mother's Day

Today is Mother’s Day and I woke up thinking about my mother. I remembered Proverbs 31, “Who can find a virtuous woman?” I can answer that question very quickly. It was my mother!

     Mothers have a special role to play. Often, they get no recognition, but it can be the best job, and it can be the hardest job. It can be tiresome, and it can be refreshing. It can be fulfilling and also worrisome. There is no “one size fits all” to being a mother. There is no instruction manual. However, there is a guide, and it is found in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go. When he is old, he will not depart from it.”

     My mother filled all the roles I have mentioned. I strive to not depart from her teachings. 

     

Truism

We’re given many truisms in scripture. Let me talk about Psalms 141:3 today, 

 

“Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.”

 

Not much can be enhanced upon. It is self-explanatory. I need to guard my mouth and what comes out it. I need to ensure kind words, proper words, positive words. I need to insure my words are not gossip, they are not critical, they are not hateful and unkind. 

     Before I speak, I need to consider how my words will be uttered through my lips. The tone of voice goes a long way in the words coming from my mouth. Even on the phone, the tone of voice is comprehended. 

     May I, today, guard my thoughts so that the words I utter are also guarded. May my thoughts and words be fruitful!
