Sorrow That Leads to Joy

"John 15:11 "
Is joy an emotion? A dictionary definition of joy is “a feeling of great joy and pleasure.” But Scripture declares true essence of lasting joy is a gift from the Holy Spirit. It is only achievable through yielding control of one’s life to the Savior Jesus.

Cultivating God’s Hedges

"Job 1:10"
“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land."

How is the health of your home’s bush hedges? My home’s once thick hedges appear to be thinning in some places due to the blistering hundred-degree weather and lack of rainfall. Instead of lush green leaves my thinning hedges now feature barren branches which create visual gaps in its continuity.

Royal Members of God’s Family

"1 Peter 2:9"
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”"

Recently the Prince of Wales was crowned Charles III King of what’s left of the British Empire. Born into the royal family he is now entrusted to perform the King of England’s sovereign duties. In a very real sense, God has created his own royal family as the Holy Spirit gives birth to selected individual’s soul’s a spiritual phenomenon referred by Jesus as “born again.”

Lights of Our World

" Do everything without grumbling or arguing, [15] so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky"

It's hard to imagine that the Sovereign God wants us to seek His presence in prayer. Yet, from Genesis to Revelation the Bible speaks of the necessity of praying to know God's will to be done on earth as God as prescribed.

"Joy Joy Joy"

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Psalm 126:5 NIV

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3 NIV

Beethoven's Ode to Joy is symphony dedicated to the ideal of universal freedom and peace among all peoples. But Jesus states in Matthew 24:6 that world will be filled with wars and rumors of wars until He comes again. Making a personal quest for joy without appealing to God's grace is a frivolous activity!

"March of the Lamb"

Isaiah 53:7:
He was oppressed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to be slaughtered....

On the Monday before Passover Jesus majestically traveled upon a donkey's colt into Jerusalem while being reverently honored by cloaks and tree branches placed in his path accompanied by shouts of "Hosanna to the Son of David"; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord"; and "Hosanna in the highest heaven".

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

"Who Am I"

1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Who am I? What are the spiritual, natural, and social influences that make me who I am? The recent launch of the William Smith space telescope (latest iteration of the Tower of Babel project) is designed to go a million miles into space to capture what space looked like at the time the Big Bang occurred.

"The Godliness of Truth"

2 Timothy 2:15
Present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and correctly handles the word of truth.

I must be vigilant to ensure that I always tell the truth! All truth is God's truth! Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life! Once a person is saved the Holy Spirit installs truth at the entrance of the human heart. Then the heart begins its sanctifying role of subjecting the self to God's truth! Truth is not a guest in a believer's heart; it is the master of the house. In us truth must be a living force, in active energy, indwelling reality, part of the essence of who we are.
