  • "Now"

    Numbers 13:32 and 33 The report of the spies was factual, but wrong. Yahweh had promised that He would take them into the Promised Land. Entrance into the Promised Land was Yahweh’s great promise to their ancestors − Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

    Numbers 14:1-3 Fear of the future caused them to turn against God and level repulsive accusations at Him.

    Numbers 14:4 -9:15-23 They desired to abandon Yahweh’s leadership for someone who would bring them back to Egypt. They wanted to go back to the way it was yesterday in Egypt, which was nonexistent.

    9 They completely lost their perspective that Yahweh was with them because they feared the future and regressed to the past. Yahweh is with us!

    Deuteronomy 20:1-4 Forty years later, Moses told them Yahweh is with you, Yahweh your God is the one who goes with you. You are not alone!

    Deuteronomy 31:1-8 The instruction to Joshua was not to be afraid because Yahweh is with you.

    Hebrews 13:5and 6 He will never leave you. Times may be hard, as they were with Paul, but Yahweh is always present with you.

    Philippians 4:4-9 The Lord is at hand; you do not need to be anxious.

    1 John 3:1-3 In the moment, we can live with and for God. Right now, we are the sons of God.

    Colossians 1:13 and 14 Right now, we are rescued from the domain of darkness; we have redemption and forgiveness.

    21 and 22 We are now reconciled. Our responsibility is simply to have the faith that accepts what God says is true now.

    Ephesians 2:13 Now, you are near.

    Ephesians 5:8 Now, we are the children of light.

    NOW IS THE TIME!

  • Living in His Presence

    John 14:5-11; 8:28, 38; 12:49 Jesus always spoke what the Father wanted spoken, and he always did that which the Father wanted done. Jesus maintained constant fellowship with God. How did he do it?

    Mark 1:35 He went to a solitary place and took time to be alone with his Father to pray.

    Luke 11:1 Even while in the midst of people, he took time to be alone with God and pray.

    John 11:41-44 In all his doings, he recognized his union with the Father and his dependence on Him.

    John 8:3-9 Here we see his deliberate choice to seek the will of the Father before acting. He never responded to situations impetuously; rather, he always acted deliberately. To respond this way in a crisis indicates a habit developed under normal circumstances. If people typically live by their own wit, under fire they will do the same. Jesus developed the habit of talking with God and seeking His direction in all that he did.

    Luke 2:40 Jesus grew not only physically but also in his spiritual skills to walk with God. He disciplined and developed himself, just as we can.

    John 14:12 The works that I do, you can do also.

    Ephesians 4:6 Yahweh is omnipresent, which means He is always with you. You do not need to go anywhere or do anything to find God because He is always present with you. His very name means existing one. He is not elusive or obscure, nor is He hidden from us. We need only to exercise our will and acknowledge Him.

    Ephesians 6:5 and 6 In everything that we do, we can seek the will of God through Christ. Right now in this moment, you can connect with God!

    Matthew 6:34; James 5:13-17 You cannot worship God tomorrow, nor seek His will later. Right now is the only moment you have.

    Philippians 3:13 The good or evil we did yesterday has nothing to do with our now if in this moment we turn our hearts to God. Right now, you can talk to God and connect with Him because right now He is present with you. In yesterday or tomorrow, He is elusive, obscure, out of sight and reach. Jesus learned as we can also to live with God in the moment.

    Talk to God now and ask to know and then do His will. The Christian walk is not hard or impossible; rather, it is easy and very doable in this moment. When we bring the weight of yesterday and the anxiety of tomorrow, Christianity becomes burdensome, impracticable, undesirable, and impossible.

  • God Is Enough

    Philippians 4:11-13 Paul was content. He had everything he needed, or at least that is how he thought about his situation.
    I Timothy 6:6-8 Godliness with contentment is great gain. Having food and clothing be content! What a simple thought.

    Enemies of Contentment: Covetousness, Self sufficiency, Envy

    Covetousness

    I Timothy 6:6-10 – The love of money

    Luke 12:13-21
    Hebrews 13:5-6
    Proverbs 23:4-5

    Our Western society continually lures us with covetous desire.

    II Peter 2:14-19 (“an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;…” KJV)

    You must decide, “What is enough?”

    Self Sufficiency

    II Corinthians 3:5 – (Adequacy = Sufficiency in KJV)

    Deuteronomy 8:7-18
    “Bless Yahweh your God.” This is one of the primary reasons to pray at a meal and teach our children to pray at a meal. It acknowledges that God is our sufficiency.

    Envy (Jealousy)

    James 4:5 says, “The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy.”

    Proverbs 14:30

    “A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.”(NASB)
    “A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.”(KJV)
    “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”(NIV)
    “A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away.”

    James 3:13-17

    Psalms 73 “The nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD (the Lord Yahweh) my refuge…”

    God is enough!

  • When Is Thanksgiving Day?

    Psalm 103:1-5
    Psalm 100:1-5

    God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is the Existing One and is omnipresent. He is everywhere present and with us all the time.

    Psalm 9:7-10
    Psalm 36:5-10
    John 3:16 – God gave His very precious only begotten Son for you. Yahweh loved us and gave up His Son when we were still dead in trespasses and sins. When we are able to comprehend fully the extent of God’s unilateral, unselfish giving, we will not have any problem in accepting His love and remaining forever thankful.

    The attitude of thankfulness should be engraved in our hearts. Yahweh deserves that His children be loyal and faithful to Him in thanksgiving.

    2 Corinthians 2:14
    I Thessalonians 5:16—18
    Philippians 4:11-13
    Psalm 16:11

    Thanksgiving Day should be every single day of our lives!

  • Thankfulness and Lepers

    2 Kings 5:1 According to the prophet Micaiah, Yahweh did help Syria to defeat Israel and Judah although Naaman may not have known that to be true.
    2 Kings 5:5 Some people will try desperate measures to gain healing, and many others just resign to the fact that they are sick and nothing can be done about it.
    Verse 11 His reaction seems somewhat normal. He predetermined how his healing was going to take place, and when it did not go that way, he got angry. He did not have the response of a humble man. He knew how to bring about his own healing!
    Verse 13 Wise and good counsel
    Verse 14 He was obedient to the specific instruction that was given to him and received his healing.
    Verse 15 He did the right thing in glorifying God and expressing thankfulness.
    Verse 19 Naaman had the right heart and did the right thing.
    Psalms 107:1-43 “Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, and for His wonders to the sons of men!” Thankfulness is the manifestation of a conscious, awake, vitalized, vibrant heart. When we are connected with God, we are grateful.
    2 Kings 5:20-27 Gehazi’s actions are diametrically opposite because his heart was full of greed and self-interest. The whole story serves as a metaphor with the one freed from leprosy abounding in thankfulness and the other given entirely to selfishness contracting leprosy.
    Luke 17:11-19 When we experience God’s goodness, the right response that should automatically occur is to glorify and thank Him. The failure to respond accordingly speaks to the egocentric nature of man and his corresponding oblivious awareness. When we step back and view this incident, we may marvel at the absurd behavior of these nine unthankful men. Yet, we too are often guilty of the same.
    Colossians 3:12-17 – Be thankful!
