Matt. 19

There is coming a day when Christ Jesus will assume His rightful place as LORD OF ALL and sit on His GLORIOUS THRONE in Heaven. We will finally see Him in His full glory, bow and worship, and be SO GLAD we made Him Lord of our lives here on earth.

We will NEVER have seen a throne like His throne.

Jesus, we love you, we NEED You.

Amos 1-7

I found myself singing and praying this old chorus this morning ….

“He is my Everything, He is my All, He is my Everything both great and small. He gave His life for me, made everything new. He is my Everything, now how about you?”

I would be glad to sing it to you.

Joel

After the Lord had visited His people with devastation because of their sin, He promised to restore them when they cried out to Him for their salvation. We even find a prophecy of the New King, Jesus the Messiah.

We can ALWAYS cry ou t to God for relief. His mercy triumphs over His judgement. [James 2:13]

Hoses 8

Israel made a big mistake by installing leaders that God did not approve. We often do the same. We can inquire of the Lord through prayer and the application of His Word.

In the coming election cycles, we are wise to seek Godly leaders who fear the Lord and live by His principles.

Dan. 12

At his final vision, Daniel was instructed to be at rest, that he would wake up to an inheritance. WE have that promise as well.

Have no anxiety. You are RICH in God.

You can have my gold. I just want to sit at Christ ‘s feet.

Daniel 5, 6

Daniel was surely a praying man. 3x a day he would faithfully lift his voice to heaven. David ALSO prayed 3x a day.

The New Covenant Christian is encouraged to “Pray without ceasing.”

Daniel 1’4

In the story of Daniel’s captivity, he interpreted the king’s dream of a large tree that came down. The king was that tree. He was restored that he might know of a certainty that GOD RULES OVER MEN AND KINGDOMS.

Hitler thought he would rule the world, but ended up taking his own life out of fright. (Big man?)

Presently, we have Putin who is playing power games with Trump and others. He will just have to learn (the hard way) that God sits king over the flood.

Daniel 1-3

… than being thrown into a blazing furnace of fire? Not much!

This was the predicament the three Hebrew boys found themselves in for refusing to bow the Nebuchadnezar’s graven image. Yet, God showed up to become the fourth man in the fire. When drawn out, they didn’t even have the smell of smoke on them.

God is WITH YOU in your trial. He will DELIVER YOU!

Ez. 47

The prophet saw a river flowing from the temple he saw. Wherever it flowed, it brought life and healing. With its miraculous properties, we are wise to get in it and stay there.

God’s river is found in His Word.

Ezekiel 44, 45

On my visit to the Holy Land, my best moment occurred as I stood on the Mount of Olives looking across the Kidron Valley at the Eastern Gate. It is all walled shut, awaiting the moment when Christ will touch down on this Mount and walk across the valley and enter the Holy City of Jerusalem THROUGH that gate.

That will be one of the greatest moments in history.
