For he is Good

Ezra 3:11

“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever”

   Friends I have this short message from God put upon my heart to share with you. This must come as no surprise to you, in that God only wants to do good by us. This means having a firm foundation to build our faith upon, and that is on our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, for without Him we might just as well build our faith on sand.

Matthew 7:26-27 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

   There will come a time, maybe for a nano-second, or altogether, that you let go of God because you have become despondent, so you have thrown your hands up, declaring ‘you don’t want anymore to do with Him.’ If so let me assure, just because you have. . .

. . . God is still holding onto you

. . . God still cares about you

. . . Gods arms are wide just waiting for you to come back home.

So my Brothers & Sisters always remember..

“His mercy endures forever”

Gods blessings for us

Proverbs 3

V9 .. “Honour the Lord with your possessions” .. Always give to the Lord what He is due unbegrudingly, and the Lord will see this and send His blessings to you for honouring Him.

V6 .. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” .. By doing so will bring you one more step closer to knowing His will for your lives.

V5 .. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding” .. Hold nothing back, give Him everything you have and He will send blessings beyond your comprehension.

What does it Mean

Deuteronomy 6:4~12 ... 29:14~15

i .. V4 .. Statement

ii .. V6~8 .. Always be ready

iii .. 8~10 .. Don't Forget

iv .. Those to come

i .. V4 .. Statement

       “Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one”
One is meaning, one unit, united. Or, as in the old Jewish tongue, one comes from the word [Echad] ..

• God the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Yet He still remains ‘The true Living God’.
• We are taught, that we are to .. V5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength”

   As statements go V4 & 5 leaves you no doubt as to what it means to be a Christian and to Worshipping Him. As a statement it is clear as to what it means. To start with in V5 “You shall” not a ‘may be’, or ‘when you feel like it’, or even ‘I guess so’

   A statement is a way of saying ‘this is my declaration’ .. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” … here we are being told once clean, stay clean, ready for His second coming. Then in V27 .. “I charge you by the Lord “ .. how positive and strong a statement this is, by Jesus showing us that in ...

Deuteronomy 6:15 "(for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth"

...that He lets us know, how much He rates this statement, that He reckons it’s the best in the Bible .. V5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” 

   I to love this verse, because No body can say that they don’t know what God expects & wants. NO grey fuzzy areas, for miss interpretation, NO second guessing, if you don’t understand or take um-bridge over this then I suggest you hit your reset button, then start being a Christian from the beginning, as this is as simple as it gets.

There are so many versions of statements .. like Wedding vows .. Presidents opening intentions .. even from Murderers ‘I’m gona kill you’ .. there are obviously good statements as well as miss-leading ones.

Prayer

   I pray that as go through this study that god speaks through me, using me as a conduit for His holy spirit speaks yo you, enlightening, enriching your spirit, showing you new things for you to get to know Him deeper ~closer than you have ever done before.

 

Proverbs 6: 4 Because of Adultery (pt2) V30/5

   4 Because of Adultery (pt2) V30/5

V31 “..Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold..” Here, at this time, you must restore .. restore sevenfold..” Today the thief must serve time in prison for his crimes. Some of the act the thief commits should today, must work off as recompense, to those whom they have committed the offence. “..He may have to give up all the substance of his house..” I have long wondered how many would re-offend? Even their wives/partners would let them, knowing this is going to happen. I hear many off you screaming at the screen ‘what of their human rights'? But, whay of the human rights of the victims ‘human-rights’, of those they committed the offence? I’m not saying an eye-for-an-eye, but something has to change. In case you think I have been a saint all my life I have not.

V32 “..Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding..” ‘The truth will always out’ It may not be today – next week – Month or year, but just when you don’t expect it, it will come. “..he who does so destroys, his oown soul..” In times of temptation, ask yourself ‘is it really worth it’?

V33/4 .. Men in today’s age, with technology as it is, there is NO excuse or reason today. Or this will happen .. “..wound and dishonour he will get..” .. The same will be when the wife is left at home for long periods of time, I have been guilty of this myself. Then got defensive/angry as it fell apart. “..For jealousy is a husbands fury .. he will not spare in the day of Vengance..”

Songs of Solomon 8 v6
“..Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; (so all can your intentions) For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame..”

   These flames burn us not, in fact we encouraged to ‘fan-the-flames-of-love’, as this is to ignite the passion within us, and between our partners. It took, just, 6months, from meeting my wife, till we were married. For the first 4months she lived in Northern Ireland, and I in South Devon England. We would talk twice daily, as well as sending letters 3 or 4 times a week. So you could say this was our dating period.

“Will it be worth it” 

V35 .. “..He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts..” In closing I have an exercise for you to do. Get a dinning chair, take and place in the middle of the living room/lounge, now get a bed sheet and cover the chair. The chair is your adultery/sin, the sheet represent all those ’extra’ little gifts you have bought over the years to ease your conscience, and cover the dalliances. Tell me does the sheet ‘take-away’, or can you still see it?

"Was it worth it?
