Make Every Day Count!

In Psalm 90:12 it says, “So teach us to number our days”

We don’t often think about that, in fact, some of us actively avoid thinking about it, lol. But the truth is each one of us has only so many days on this earth.

So we only have so many days to share God’s Love & Mercy. To share the Good News about Jesus Christ! And to share our knowledge of how to get to Heaven and just how important that is!

Because make no mistake, Jesus is the Hope for our world, today and everyday, and we are all looking for that 🙂

Make Every Day Count!

Be the Light :)

If Our Nation Becomes Covered In Darkness, Be The Light :)

In Daniel 12:3 it says, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the fimament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”

Recently, millions of Christians participated in The Return. Some in person, even more through the telecast. During The Return, Jonathan Cahn talked about God’s Judgment, and the fact that it could be occuring soon.

Is this the Last Days we often read about, or is it the Judgement of our nation for the many sins we have commited? Only God knows.

Millions of babies have been murdered and gay marriage has become the law of the land. Netflix’s “cuties” has pushed the boudaries of all that is decent and right. Our inner cities’ are poverty sticken and violent. The list is endless…

Make no mistake, forgiveness for all of those who have sinned is available to all through Jesus Christ. And let’s face it, we have all sinned. We have all fallen short. That’s why this Bible verse is such a comfort to so many:

“as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”=Psalm 103:12

But a nation that does not repent and seek forgiveness is not forgiven.

We really don’t know if our country will turn back to God in time-or not

But one thing we do know, is that -should our country and it’s people be covered in darkness: God will shine a light. And the Holy Spirit will shine a light through us to reach out to others. If we let Him.

Let Him. Be the Light 🙂

Sharing Jesus :)


Oswald Smith, a great preacher who was born in 1890, once said: “Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!“

The question that comes to my mind after reading this, is “are we as compassionate as Jesus is?” Although some in the media and political circles constantly put down people of faith, do we not have a responsibilty to share our faith with ALL of God’s people? For our Father loves ALL people. And especially since we know that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, do we not need to share Him with others?

Christ says in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”

And if we love ALL of God’s people, than that is what we need to do! If we believe in Jesus, we need to believe what He said. And we need to do what He commanded.

Leave no one behind. Be the Light 🙂

Great Is God’s Mercy and Love for us :)

“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”-Psalm 103:8-14 KJV

God loves us so much that His Mercy is almost endless. And for those who “fear” Him and follow Jesus, it is endless.

But what does the word “fear” refer to? I don’t think it refers to the type of “fear” that we feel when, for example, a car accident is about to happen. Or the “fear” we feel when we think about a loved one getting Covid 19.

I think it’s the type of “fear” we feel when we do something we know will displease our parents or those who love us greatly. It’s the kind of “fear” that we feel when we truly think about the Power of God. While we don’t always focus on the Power of God, it’s important to think about the Great Power it took to create this world and to create us 🙂

Make no mistake, it is God’s Great Mercy and Love that has ensured our forgiveness and eternity in Heaven. And that forgiveness comes through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Today, thank our Father for His Great Mercy and Love for us 🙂

The Restoration of a Nation: Isaiah 60

Isaiah 60 opens with, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.”

So clearly, darkness covers the earth and the people of the world.  But it does not cover God’s people, and it never will.  The Holy Spirit that lives in each believer will see to that ?

After that Isaiah goes on to tell of what a Restoration by God will look like to the people of faith that He restores:

“Lift up your eyes and look about you:   All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,  and your daughters are carried on the hip.
 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come…”-Isaiah 60:4-5

“bringing your children from afar,  with their silver and gold,
to the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.”-Isaiah 60:9

It sounds a lot like the nation we used to be!  And perhaps could be again, tf we return to God and become the “One Nation Under God” that we used to be.

And because God loves and understands us, He ensured that there are two references in Isaiah 60 regarding our children. God knows the joy that having our children with us will give us, because God knows and understands just how much we love our children.  And as a Mom, that understanding means more than I can ever say.

Why?  Because it means that when I am praying for my children, God understands just how important they are to me.  And because He loves both me and my children, He will be with us in all things.  And that is a great comfort! ?.

God loves us and our children. Return to God. Pray. Be the Light 🙂

Be The Light :)

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”-John 1:5

There can be no doubt that these are difficult times in which we live.  The news that both the President and the First Lady have been diagnosed with Covid 19 is frightening.  Especially with the presidential election coming up.  As I pray for both of them, I can’t help but be in awe of their courage and sacrifice on behalf of our country.  We are indeed Blessed.

And I have to share with you that I feel  we are all called to that same courage and sacrifice.

In Isaiah 60:1-2 it says: “rise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”

Dark times may indeed come, but we are called to share Christ’s light and hope with all God’s people.

Be The Light 🙂

Putting God First :)

What does that really mean? What does that look like in a person’s life? When we see a pastor or a missionary it’s easy to see that they are putting God first. But what about for us regular folk? For we are not all called to be Pastors or Missionaries.

It’s easier than it looks. We can reach out to our neighbor. Talk to the person at the grocery. Hug someone. Be nice even when someone is crabby. Reign in the desire to be right and let someone else be right. Be quiet. Give to the Homeless. Go to work on time. work hard and be nice. Read the Bible and share it with others. The list is endless.

Stand up for Father, for Christ and the Holy Spirit. Pray both privately and publicly. So often we hear that we should only pray in private. But the world needs us to pray in public too. Because there are those in the world that need the encouragement right now of seeing others turn to God :).

And don’t be afraid to share your short-comings. We all have them and knowing we have a few and are still following Christ might encourage another to keep going.

We live in a time where many are falling away from faith. The most important thing we can do right now, is encourage others to keep going. To hold to their faith in Jesus.

Time grows short. we need to help each other as much as we can now!
