A Devotional – SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (37)


A Devotional – SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (37)

COMMENT: As you well know the devotional is late; I am on the local volunteer fire department and we had a tornado touch down in town around 7:30am. This did not take the LORD God who Created the heavens and the earth by surprise Psa 148:8 – “Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;” The Truth is, is that when you understand some of the Wisdom of God, the spirit of man can rejoice knowing that God who (because of the curse) created all things in this kingdom, also created the Kingdom to come without the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I look forward to that City whose builder and Maker is God, For His is the Kingdom and the Power FOREVER – Matthew 6:13, we will be delivered from evil. There were no casualties, in this we Praise the LORD.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: Prayer (Thanksgiving)

Last week we did touch on the subject of thanksgiving to God, but today we will look a bit deeper. It is my personal conviction that when we pray with a soul of thanksgiving we can rejoice, even when we are requesting from God an uncertain outcome.

Let us come before His Throne with thanksgiving, let us shout joyfully to Him with Psalms (Psalm 95:2), and that is only a drop in the bucket. If you are going to the Throne of God in prayer, it means that you have to Go through the gates of His sanctuary first, please remember to go with shouts of thanksgiving! Psalm 100:4, for His mercies endure forever and His Truth has not, nor will it ever fail; see verse 5.

The LORD knows the very end of things before there ever was a beginning (Isa 45:10), there is not an event that the LORD God is not fully aware of and it would be foolish to consider any other course of action to resolve a circumstance apart from God. I know it would be hard to go to Him with thankfulness when things are grievous but seek to remember that God is the ONLY One to answer our call for help. His mercies endure forever, even in and at your moment of NEED.

Philippians 4:6-7 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all UNDERSTANDING will guard your heart and mind through Christ/Messiah Jesus. Then rejoice on the things that will comfort you as the LORD comforts, Philippians 4:8-13.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 203 Luke 21:7   –   So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?

He rose from this death; He is alive again . The apostle Paul writes, “For I deliver to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
