When We Pray!

                                                                         When We Pray! We Wait “Expectantly”. Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament.   Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.   In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you “And Wait Expectantly”.   (Psalms 5:1-3) To Wait “Expectantly” is Evidence of “No Doubt”; When we Prayed. Our Daily Nugget is showing us the way that David prayed to God, Jesus prayed to God the same way and we should pray like this also.   Jesus and David started their prayer by First Honoring God.   Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father”, “Who Art In Heaven”, “Holy would be Thy Name”,   “Thy Kingdom Come”, “Thy Will Be Done”.   They took the “Time” to “Take Them Out of ...

Empathy.

                                                                              Empathy. “Love” in “Action”. Bless those who persecute you: bless and do not curse.   “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn”.   Live in harmony with one another.   Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.   “Do Not Be Conceited”.   (Romans 12:14-16) The Heart/Mind “Without” Empathy, “Does Not Love”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that we must “put ourselves in the shoes of others” and to “connect deeply to offer support”, “Reflecting God’s Own ‘Empathetic’ Nature”.   This is how we Allow the Light of God’s Love to Shine Through our Living. Empathy - “Feeling” another’s “joy or sorrow” “As Your Own”, “Entering their Situation” with...

Content.

                                                                                               Content. “Learn The Secret Of Being Content”! I am not saying this because I am in need, “For I Have Learned to Be Content” “Whatever the Circumstances”.   I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty, “I Have learned”   “The Secret Of Being Content” in “any and every situation”, whether well feed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.   “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.   (Philippians 4:11 - 13)) We do not need more stuff than our neighbor, to be Content. The Word and the world both “Offers Their Form of Contentment”. Our Daily Nugget is letti...

A Chosen People.

                                                                       A Chosen People. “Be” Therefore, “What You Are”. But   you are “A Chosen People, a Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, God’s Special Possession”, that “You may Declare the Praises of Him” who “Called you Out of Darkness into His Wonderful Light”.   (1 Peter 2:9) Believers are Not like Other Religious People.   “We Are A Chosen People”, and our Purpose is “Declare the Praises of Christ”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that once we accept Jesus the Christ as our Lord and Savior, “Everything Changes” in our Thinking and therefore in Our Living.   God “Choose Us”, now we are a Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, God’s Special Possession. If we do not “See”, “Think”,   of ourselves as such, we will never Live as such. Eac...

Vanity.

                                                                                 Vanity. The Destiny of “Vanity”. The words of the Teacher, son of David, King in Jerusalem: “Meaningless (Vanity)!   Meaningless (Vanity)” says the Teacher.   Utterly Meaningless, (Vanity)!   Everything is Meaningless (Vanity).   What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?   (Ecclesiastes 1:1-3) Vanity of Vanities, “All Is Vanity”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, the Wisest man to have ever lived, is telling us that “All” our worldly pursuits are “Meaningless, Empty, Worthless,” “Apart from God”.   If God’s Word, the Bible, is not at the forefront of “All Our Efforts”, that “All Our Efforts Are Worthless, Vain, Empty”.   The world has taught u...

We Move God to Act.

                                                                    We Move God to Act.   When “We Love” and when “We Don’t Love”! These are the things you are to do: Speak the Truth to each other, and render “true accord and sound judgement” in your courts; do not plot evil against against each other, and do not love to swear falsely.   “I Hate all this”, declares the Lord.   (Zechariah 8:16). (Ask yourselves, “Where are we or me”?) When we Love we “Please God and we Please Our Neighbor”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that God “Declares Hatred For Plotting Evil” against neighbors and loving false oaths, loving to lie; it’s “Urging people to Speak Truth” and “Live With Integrity”, emphasizing that “sincere, honest actions and hearts (minds)” “Are What Pleases God”, “Not Deceit or Lies”. Our Daily Nu...

Sowers of Discord.

                                                                       Sowers of Discord. God “Hates” the Sowers of Discord. These six things the Lord Hates, “seven are an abomination” to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart (mind) the devises “wicked plans”, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, “And One Who Sows Discord Among Brethren”.   (Proverbs 6:16-19) “You will not certainly die”, the serpent (snake) said to the woman.   For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.   (Genesis 3:4&5)   People who Sow Discord are like “Snakes”. To “Sow Discord” is to be “An Ambassador of Satan”. The Household of the “Sower of Discord” pays a  very heav...
