CRYING and praising the Lord!!!

Luke 2:7
"And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

God saves His people. He sends His only Son to be sacrificed on the cross. Jesus made good on His promises, saving all others. Coming into our world as a helpless infant away in the manger. CRYING. The Son of God spent nine months in the Virgin Mary's womb. We think about Jesus leaving His "place" in heaven to become fully man. Do we think about His time in the womb? His time as a infant and then a toddler eventually to grow up! This is God, the Creator going through all the growing pains you and I went through. How did He feel going through this experience???

Did He feel like everything was under control? Was living this situation what He thought it would be? We cannot know what Jesus felt and experienced in this situation we can know how we experience similar events and what the Holy Scriptures tell us. This week we read through Psalm one hundred and forty-two. This chapter was inspired by a time when David had to hide in a cave. David demonstrates the way to pray from the depth and darkness of his cave hideout! He acknowledged he was CRYING and still he was praising the Lord and confident in GOD'S graciousness! GOD does hear David's CRY and HELPS him. Like God helped Isreal crying out in slavery. And the sick pleading to be healed by Jesus. God keeps His promises. GOD sent His Son.

A great musical summary of this most INCREDIBLE event is A Strange Way To Save The World by 4Him. It's a GREAT video you can watch right here...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
