THE LIVING GOD #COMFORT

Posted on May 11, 2017 by Barbara Jones

Are you in a comfort zone? With each passing year, I find I need comfortable surroundings. How about you? How’s your mattress working for you? I have observed many mattress stores allow people to sleep on their product for several days to test the comfort and be satisfied with their purchase. Then there is that lounge chair. Is it relaxing your body by taking the weight off your feet? Speaking of feet, do you buy a shoe that seems the perfect fit to only find out after walking in it a few hours that those shoes just do not fit or cause blisters! You may have noticed all the things I mentioned for comfort take the weight and pressure off our aching body. I have chosen merchandise over the years that did not meet my needs, but I made one choice which gives lasting comfort. You see I cast my burden on the Lord who is able to envelop it all and in return has given me comfort and hope. Paul had many adversities but through it all wrote in Romans 15:4-6 “whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Now the GOD OF PATIENCE AND COMFORT grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify GOD, even the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.” Choose Jesus’ Comfort.

THE LIVING GOD #DAYSPRING

Posted on May 4, 2017 by Barbara Jones

You might say, “What is dayspring?” Dictionary definition of the word Dayspring as the beginning of day or the dawn! You asked, “What does that have to do with the Living God?” Glad you asked. I just came back from a trip to the gulf in Florida where you can truly see the dawn of a new day across the emerald sea with all its magnificent splendor. Now there were a few days that storms clouded my view, but that reminded me of my pathway following my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You asked, “How does that relate to Jesus Christ?” I find it in the scriptures starting with Gen. 1:3 “GOD said, ‘Let there be light: and there was light” 11Corth.4:6 “GOD who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of darkness has shined in our hearts to give the LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of JESUS CHRIST.” Luke 1:78,79 “Through the tender mercy of our GOD; whereby the DAYSPRING from on HIGH HAS VISITED US, TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS AND IN IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH, TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE.” You might ask, “But will the light of the Lord last or will it expire?” Again I go to the Bible where we find words about last days in Rev.21:23 “the city had no need of the sun, nor the moon to shine in it: for the GLORY OF GOD DID SHINE IN IT: FOR THE GLORY OF GOD DID LIGHTEN IT, AND THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT THEREOF.” Now I’ve seen beautiful dawnings here on earth, but I cannot even image the awe I shall have when beholding JESUS’ LIGHT in HIS GLORIOUS TEMPLE one day!

I picked the wrong day to have a #BBQ sandwich for lunch. Are we killing ourselves with knives and forks? What is stuffed but starved? What happens to our food the further we get from the farm? What are some of the don’ts of eating? What is meant by refined white sugar? What are refined carbohydrates and how does it differ from today’s offering of bread products? Enough of the don’ts, how about some dos? What does a proper balance of vitamin intake promote? Is health all nutritional or is there a fitness element to the equation?

Next week we will begin looking at what the Bible says about fasting.
