The Jubilant Song of the Morning

“In the evening, lamentation may lodge, but in the morning there is jubilant song.” (Psalm 30:5 CLOT)

There are times that people come to my mind. They are usually family and current friends and occasionally those from the past that I shared good times and have fond memories. When they are remembered the following bible verse often comes to mind. 

"I am thanking my God at every remembrance of you. Always, in every petition of mine for you all, making the petition with joy." (Philippians 1:3-4 CLNT).

In “the evening” of life as the sun begins to set I am sure there will be "lamentation", yet I also hope to find myself thinking about and continuing to pray this prayer for those I have known…

“…that He may be giving you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the realization of Him…” (Ephesians 1:17 CLNT)

I am convinced that in time all mankind will come to realize the love of God and what He has done for all his creation.  Then all will give Him glory. Some are fortunate enough to have been given this "wisdom and revelation" in this life, and it enables them to joyfully and patiently live wanting to make life better for those around them.  They know that God, through His Son Jesus, has written a "jubilant song" to be enjoyed by all “in the morning”.

Don't give up on mankind, God is not done with us yet.

I Am Not Ashamed

“…I AM NOT ASHAMED of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation…” (Romans 1:16) Will preaching about Jesus, teaching about Jesus, or writing a commentary on the Bible change what God has determined to do for humanity? Of course not. And what about preaching, teaching, or the commentaries on the Bible that turn out to be wrong? Will that change anything God has determined to do? No Then why preach, teach or write our thoughts down at all? Good question but for me the answer is simple. I share my views simply to let others know what I believe. I do not want people to think I believe something about Scripture because I was raised in a Baptist church and therefore believe what Baptists believe.  Most people go to the Church in which they were raised. I attended a Southern Baptist church because my Mom and Dad took me to one, and I continued to go for years because I liked the people who attended with me. I was not there to learn what the Bible says because I own a Bible

Trust Him, He's Got This!

"I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God; but their devotion is not based on true knowledge." (Romans 10:2 NLT) "These ignorantly zealous persons think altogether too much of themselves. According to their idea it would seem to be a marvel how ever the Lord got along before they were born, and altogether a dead certainty that He will have to suspend operations altogether after they are dead." - Arthur P. Adams Such seems to be the state of many evangelists I have heard over the years. “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." (Psalm 46:10 NLT) Trust Him, He's got this!

Gun to My Head Prediction

"  I am coming  again  and will take  you to Myself , so  that  where  I am , there you also  will be." (John 14:3) "This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11) I am not a "date setter" for the return of Jesus to Earth. However, I read the Bible for clues which reveal the era in which He will return - that era seems to me to be unfolding before my watchful eyes. If someone held a gun at my head and told me I had to give an exact month, day and year for His return to Earth to set up the Millennial kingdom. I would calmly say Saturday, October 4, 2035 AD. Why? Follow this link for why I would give 2035 AD as the year. https://2035thereturn.blogspot.com/ As for the month and day - Saturday, October 4 - it is because that will be the first day of the new year (Rosh Hashanah) in the year 2035 AD. Again, not setting the date, just making an educated guess! 😇
