awareness and eloquence

Psalms 143:1&2
"1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified."

Last week we studied Jesus's conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. He called her to BELIEVE, to have FAITH, and to be SAVED! She began to evangelize immediately! She convinced many to leave their midday business and come out to the well to meet the Christ. It all unfolded by GOD'S plan. 

Not, covered in the verses that we studied was this woman's prayer life. We can only speculate, it must have been VERY good. It was noted that she had a rough life. Hardship and misfortune will motivate one to pray to GOD for help. I have to believe that her prayers were answered!

This week we will focus our study on prayer. One of the best sources for outstanding examples of prayers is the book of Psalms. Today's verses come from the one-hundred forty-third chapter, verses one and two; "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness. And enter NOT into judgment with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified." This is King David beautifully addressing GOD all mighty. David really grasps the holiness of GOD and his own shortcomings.  We can all aspire to this level of awareness and eloquence when written and praying.

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...
