In Jeremiah 36, there is a famous Bible story. It’s about King Jehoiakim of Judah. God sent him a message of warning three times. Three times he refused to listen to God’s Will. Because he wouldn’t listen, both he and his kingdom were destroyed.

There are many people in this world who do not believe that God would do this again. They are wrong. Countries can’t continue in this world with their current bad behavior, and expect that our world will not be punished and neither can people.

And for the record, a lack of knowledge is not an acceptable excuse. For God made sure to leave us a record of His Word in the Holy Bible. If some choose to refuse to read it or follow it, that’s on them.

God IS Just. Always.

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready.

“The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites.12When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior. But sir, Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, `Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian. The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

“But Lord, Gideon asked, “how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family. The LORD answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together.” -Judges 12-16

Gideon was afraid, but he was obedient to God anyway.

Faith over fear 🙂

“I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.” -Isaiah 66:4-5

Are some people in a prison of their own choosing?

Thanksgiving is for giving Thanks! And we do that. We thank God for our Blessings this past year, for our children, for our spouses, for all those we love…It doesn’t matter what we eat, it matters that we love 🙂

And as we celebrate Thanksgiving, we begin to prepare for Christmas. Jesus, born as a babe in a manger, truly is the Light of the World. He is our Savior. Jesus IS the Promise Kept and the Bridge we cross over to be reunited with our Father.

Jesus’ birth was a Gift that we can never never fully understand. It’s that big and that life changing. We can never Thank Him enough :).

This Christmas season, starting with Thanksgiving, let’s really prepare our hearts. Let’s spend time with Jesus and Thank Him. Let’s Thank our Father for sending Him, and Mary and Joseph for being His earthly parents.

Let’s let the Holy Spirit fill our hearts with love and gratitude, and share it with others 🙂

Have a Happy Christmas, but also have a Holy Christmas. And use the coming days to ensure it is just that 🙂

Pray for Peace on earth. And Pray for God’s Peace to fill our hearts and the hearts of those we love. For God’s Peace “surpasses all understanding”.

“and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:7

We need not allow fear and worry to rule us. Instead, we can choose God’s Peace 🙂

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

Psalm 91

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

³ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the ^[a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
⁴ He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and ^[b]buckler.
⁵ You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
⁸ Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
¹⁰ No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
¹² In their hands they shall ^[c]bear you up,
Lest you ^[d]dash your foot against a stone.
¹³ You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
¹⁵ He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

Be Marked Safe!
