Today’s Thought “Fools Rush In” G. Ward

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.

 

A song of old (Fools Rush In) is indicative of one who absolutely fell in love and knew a vitality necessary for him to thrive, included immediate marriage. Songs are primarily pertinent to self-love for these times, so contradictory to God’s Word (Phil.2:3-4, 2 Ti.3:1-2) and whereas this song could serve as a corollary to an intended love relationship with Holy God and encourage any to capitulate. A true encounter onto HIS grace and mercy can/will leave any (so undeserving – Ro.5:6-8) confounded in how can HE love me, despite all my flaws, yet so grateful HE does…

 

Today’s Thought “Sin in the House” G. Ward

John 6

²⁸ Therefore they said to Him, “What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?” ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

The gospel is paramount unto every era of mankind. It alone determines joy with peace on earth and guarantees eternal presence with the Almighty God (*i.e., when one crucifies their flesh (daily) through repentance; because of a practice established of owning themselves). Moreover, it won’t look to inaccuracies from other men, but will only seek to contrast this proposed new life against the Lord Jesus (anything less is foolish defense and pompous).

There’s peculiarity in believer-ship because it absolutely depends on our Lord, versus systems and its leadership (so wavering) and whereas our lives are replete with occupation and family, our greatest calling to fulfill is to make Christ known (incidentally, this won’t ever mean – knowing your politics, soon to pass away and for those who think Holy God co-exists with your ballots, REMEMBER, HE ALONE IS SOVEREIGN, HAVING NEED OF NOTHING!).

 

Today’s Thought “Modernity’s Failure” G. Ward

Revelation 21

⁵ And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” 

 

Everything that proceeds from our Lord’s script is significant and whereas HIS promises are numerous, including the authoritative measure when God ends Heaven and earth and because our mindsets are limited and whereas God’s Word is not comparable to dissecting a Shakespearian sonnet, but only spiritually discerned and must be studied thoroughly and accurately (1 Cor.2:14, 2 Ti.2:15), we also are compelled to write. This won’t mean our Lord ever will enable a newest testament for you, but that HE’D be regarded as Faithful; particularly as our eternality rests on that actuality.

Howbeit, that it’s become so rare that very few bring their bibles, pen and paper to services? Have we out grown God’s Word? Has it lost its relevancy, or has our belief (?)…

 

Today’s Thought “Spanked Graciously” G. Ward

John 16

⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

The Savior promised, became “God with us” and HE would endeavor a work miraculously unparalleled that reconciliation from sin would allow a love relationship with Holy God for us and whereas believers’ praise in such is ongoing, there’s periodic spiritual lapse (with all – Ro.3:23), whereby godly sorrow overwhelms our soul and when that regret occurs, desiring the comfort once experienced – we must never forget to thank God, the Holy Spirit. Keep Pressing!

 

Today’s Thought “Faithful Is HIS Name” G. Ward

Romans 3

³ What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? ⁴ Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written:

“So that You are justified in Your words,
And prevail when You are judged.”

 

The Apostle’s listening audience would certainly derive from Abraham’s ancestral line, assuming their Jewish regard as safe passage unto Holy God and whereas both Testament’s (i.e., Old & New) contingency warrants repentance from man to the Holy One, Paul’s fortitude should be ours, particularly as he authoritatively demanded they know – no matter their convictions through a popular messaging that pervaded, ‘”we’re God’s chosen,” won’t ever mean knowing HIS works with periodic acquiescing thereunto as the requirement (*Eph.2:8-9), but to know every human is regarded a violator – until surrendered to the Lord Jesus (Ro.3:10).

Does HE know your name, remains the million-dollar question?

 

Today’s Thought “Highest Authority” G. Ward

 Isaiah 43:11-12

I, only I, am the Lord, and there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you; So, you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God.

 

A savior is a deliverer; one esteemed by men through a valor significantly more than ordinary and whereas our Lord’s declaration insists all would know HIS surpassing Power as eternal – without looking to another, we stand amazed. Moreover, Christ as Savior provides in the similitude of the Father, granting a “best posture” for any who will follow and that position guarantees guidance in the weary land we’re exposed, while promising eternal life with HIM.

Some will view our theme as something that denies our Lord Jesus of His position given as our Advocate in glory, or even as contradictory of Him as Savior (Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56), but it affirms HIM as the Incarnate (i.e., God in the Flesh – *John 1:1-3, 14) and our newest spiritual view knows no other Conqueror…

That could mean that every social, civic and political interaction is weighed against this message of eternality (AND NO, THIS IS NOT VOTING YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE NONSENSE!).

 

Today’s Thought “Mirror, Mirror…” G. Ward

Proverbs 27:2

“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.”

 

While believers should be concerned about what our Lord determines we ought to be and whereas HE builds our character according to HIS Word, particularly contingent on our absolute, daily surrender to that will, it’s to this end that others will marvel at our peace (John 14:27), craving such with inquisitive lips – whereby the generosity shown us that enables our Light to shine answers with availability; suggestive that nothing good exists in me apart from the Almighty and please allow me to take you to the throne of grace…
