Despair or Hope?

                                                                        Despair or Hope? We Really “Can and Do”, Have It “Our Way”! Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and “I Will Give You Rest”.   (Matthew 11:28) Yet “Hope Returns”when I Remember this one thing: “The Lord’s Unfailing Love and Mercy” still continue, Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.   The Lord is all I have, and so in Him I put my “Hope”.   (Lamentations 3:21-24) To Remember is to Focus. Focusing On the Problem, “Guarantees More of It”. Focusing on the Solution, “Will Drive the Problem Away”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know how to “Address Despair and to Cause Hope to Return”;   It Is Through Thinking.   “What we Think” leads to despair or hope, life or death, success or failure; a life that...

How Long?

                                                                                How Long? We Determine “How Long”. How long, Lord?   Will you forget me forever?   How long will you hide your face from me?   How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart (mind)?   How long will my enemy triumph over me?   (Psalms 13:1&2) But I Trust in your Unfailing Love; my heart (mind) rejoices in your Salvation.   I will sing the Lord’s praise, for He has been good to me.   (Psalms 13:5&6) It is Until we say, “Yes to the Lord’s Way” and to “His Will”. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us that, we determine “How Long” our suffering will last and when our suffering will end.   How Long is determined between our ears throug...

The Spirit.

                                                                              The Spirit. The Spirit is “Our Helper”. If you “Love Me”, keep My Commandments.   And I will pray the Father, and He will give you :Another Helper”, that He (The Father) may abide with you forever- “The Spirit of Truth”, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither “Sees Him nor Know Hims Him”; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.   “I will not leave you as orphans”; I Will Come To You”.   (John 14:15-18) The Lord Gave us The Holy Spirit, because “We Need His Help”. Our Daily Nugget is informing us that Jesus was our First Helper that God sent; He had to go away to “Prepare a Place For Us Believers” in Heaven.   God would not leave us as orphans in this world.   God...

The Rule.

                                                                            The Rule.   We Live and Die, Based on “The Rule”. The commandments (The Rules), “You shall not commit adultery”, “You shall not murder”, “You shall not steal”, “You shall not covet”, and and whatever other command (Rules) there may be, are summed up in this one command (Rule) “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself”.   Love does no harm to a neighbor.   Therefore Love Is The Fulfillment Of The Law (Rule).   (Romans 13:9-10) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, "You Shall Surely Die".   (Genesis 2:17) We, “Do not Make”, nor can we “Change The Rule”! We either, Obey or Disobey The Rule; and we Eat The Fruit of our Actio...

The Lord is There.

                                                                        The Lord is There. Wherever The Lord is, “There is Victory”. You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.   (Ezekiel 47:21) The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.   And the name of the city from “That Time On” will be: “The Lord Is There”.   (Ezekiel 48:35) Take The Lord With You, “Every Where You Go”! In Our Daily Nugget The Children of Israel had reached the Promised Land, after forty years in the wilderness, due to “unbelief”, and God had just finished dividing the land among the Israelites.   At the End of Dividing the Land God said; “The Lord Is There” from “That Time On”.   From That Time On includes “Today and Every Day”. Wherever The Lord is, “Salvation Is Ther...

The Crown of Glory.

                                                                    The Crown of Glory.                                                                                            Lords or Servants? To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; “Not Pursuing Dishonest Gain”, but “Eager To Serve”; “Not Lording It Over Those Entrusted To You”, but ...

Ashamed of Jesus.

                                                                       Ashamed of Jesus.   Are You Ashamed of Jesus’ Way and His Words? Then He called the crowd to Him along with His Disciples and said:   Whoever wants to be My Disciples “must deny themselves” and “take up their cross and follow me”.   For whoever wants to save their life “will lose it”, but whoever “loses their life for Me and the Gospel   will save it”.   What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?   If anyone is “Ashamed” of Me and My Words   in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be Ashamed of them when He comes in His Father’s Glory with the Holy Angels.   (Mark 8:34-38) There is The “Way of The Cross” and “The Way of The World”!
