Bless the Lord


This Message is Especially for You

Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies,( psalm 103:2 & 4 *nkjv )


 indeed, we should never forget just how very much our Heavenly Father loves each one of us.  Also how many ways HE proves that to us each day as well!

   After all when we feel hopeless; the Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)

When we can't find the answers we want, or are in need of guidance, He will provide the way, for; this also comes from the Lord of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. (Isaiah 28:29)


 Further, don't forget the best benefit of all, for; this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.( 1 john 5:11 )

   So in return you should; love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' because he Loves you even more than that!   Amen (Mark 12:30)
All My Love & Prayers

iGeneration

 

My Manna


"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8.

The Bible describes a time in Israel's history when "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 17:6. 

But I also think that is a good description of our time. 

Rather than living by a set of absolute standards like the Ten Commandments-
- many people are making up their own standards and using a sliding scale for morality, 
- thinking they are at least better than the next person.

It reminds me of the prophet Isaiah's warning:
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20. 

That is where our culture is today. 
We mock what is good and pure, and we celebrate what is wicked and sinful. 
Good is called evil and evil is called good in our upside-down world.

That is why I think our generation could easily be called the iGeneration-
- because we think it is all about us. 

It is all about our getting-
- what we want, 
- when we want to get it. 

Now that we can get our information on demand, we don't want to be told what we can see or hear or let others decide when we can hear and see it. 

We want what we want, and we want it when we want it. 
And many are taking the same approach to morality.

So how do we reach a culture like this? 

Answer: 
We reach it the same way Christians reached their culture 2,000 years ago. 

We reach our culture with the authority and the message of God's Word-
- because that never changes, no matter what. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." 
Hebrews 13:8.
