It’s probably one of the hardest things to do. Sometimes clarity comes after the conversation is over — when we replay it and realize we wish we had listened a little longer, spoken a little less, or simply been kinder. I suspect I’m not the only one who has had that thought afterward. “Be quick to hear, slow to speak…” — James 1:19 NASB Listen to Him.

2 Colossians 2:6-7 NASB Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, [7] having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. When we were born again, we were "firmly rooted." The foundation is secured, and we are safe in Christ. No one can pluck us up, because noone can ruin what the Lord has planted. Having eternal life, we now grow and mature in Him; "built up in Him." This confidence and reliance on Jesus alone for our salvation, and our continued right standing with God, is being "established in your faith." Having heard the gospel and now knowing we could do nothing to save ourselves, we are full of gratitude and thanksgiving for the things He has done. #grace #jesuschrist #faith #cross #gospel

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 NASB "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [21] He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." How then might we be "reconciled to God?" 👇👇👇 Colossians 1:19-20 NASB "For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, [20] and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross." We CAN'T reconcile ourselves to God. There's nothing from us that is worthy of the Father's favor. We may only submit ourselves to the reconciliation God freely offers through Christ and his FINISHED work at the cross. God made a way, through his Son, to make peace with us, despite how evil we have been or how terrible we can become, through the blood of Jesus on the cross. It is the obedience of Christ to submit to the cross and not our own obedience that saves us and goes on saving us. That's the gospel folks. Christ and him crucified. #jesuschrist #cross #grace #gospel #believe

John 1:1, NASB “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He Who was from the Beginning is so Big and so Beyond our Understanding! In His Love He made it easy for us to Know Him by showing Himself through the Person of Jesus Christ! Someone we can Talk to, Someone we can Understand. How can we explain the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! Prayer: 2Corinthians 8:9, NASB “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” Thank You Lord, You demoted Yourself from the Highest Heavens to the Lowest Earth, to make us Understand the Father Heart of God! We are forever Grateful for such Mercy! Amen.

Colossians 4:1, NASB “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.” Goodness gives birth to goodness. Badness gives birth to badness! What you give to others will be given back to you. This is the rule of God's Creation! Take Care! Prayer: Luke 6:38, NASB “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” May we give out of Your Goodness, Mercy and Grace, out of the Heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.

Romans 5:6 NASB "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly." That's me. I'm the ungodly. I am helpless to save myself. Romans 5:9 NASB "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." Despite my wickedness and sinful nature, I am "saved from the wrath of God" through Jesus and fully "justified by His blood." Hallelujah ‼️ #jesuschrist #cross #grace #faith #believe

Proverbs 11:1, NASB “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight.” Honesty is God's Policy! By seeming to lose in the natural by being honest is gaining Big because you will have the God of the Universe behind you! Be honest then you will have God's Best! Amen. Prayer: Genesis 13:14-15, NASB “14. The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 15. for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.” Help us to be of the Faith of Abraham and not to trust in temperory advantage or riches! We trust You to give us the Best. In Your Righteous Name. Amen.

In Numbers 11, we have the first appearance of clericalism in the Bible. Two servants of the Lord, Eldad and Medad, received God’s Spirit and began to prophesy (vv. 26–27). In hasty response, a young zealot urged Moses to “restrain them” (v. 28 NASB). Moses reproved the young suppressor, saying that all God’s people should receive the Spirit and prophesy.

Ezra 6:13, NASB “Then Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had sent.” Even foreign subjects are Faithful and Diligent to follow every command of their king. Shall we not follow Him and obey Him Faithfully and with Diligence and Enthusiasm, to Him Who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Prayer: Acts 26:19-20, NASB “19. “So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20. but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.” May we be Faithful in carrying out all Your Will to proclaim Your Message of Love in Jesus Christ, as Your servant Paul did. In Your Name we pray. Amen.

2Corinthians 11:2, NASB “For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.” There is no presence of Jealousy without the presence of Love. The Stronger the Love, the Stronger the Jealousy! Strong is God's Jealousy because His Love is the Strongest! Prayer: Jeremiah 31:3, NASB “The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” May we stay in Your Love, not in Your Jealousy! We remain in Good Relationship in Your Presence. For Jesus's Sake. Amen.
