declare GOD'S work

Psalms 73:27&28
"27 For, lo, they that are far from Thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from Thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Thy works."

We want to stay close to GOD. We believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are weak and fragile. GOD is with you in the here and now. God will last as long as your immortal soul. We need to reach the point we desire nothing more than we desire GOD. Following GOD'S plan will keep us from straying into mischief. Believing in GOD will get us into heaven. When we get to heaven and meet GOD all other thoughts and concerns will disappear. In our hour of need God is there with us! God is holding our hand. These verses can be helpful to you and me with the challenges we face today. Read the Book of Psalms for encouragement. Chapter seventy-three is a nuanced exploration of human experience, offering a powerful and relatable portrayal of faith, doubt, and redemption. It will help you, always. 

Keep studying the questions that Jesus asked. Jesus's questions are very educational. This week Jesus asked Martha "DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?" And, she answered "Yea, Lord..." 

In previous week's study:

Q: Jesus asked, 'Why do you worry?'

A: Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Q: The Lord asked, 'What do you have?'

A: Five loaves & two fish, but what are these among so many!

Q: 'Who was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"

A: The one who showed him mercy.

Q: Christ cried, 'My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?'

A: I am with you always, even till the end of time.

Q: He said, 'Who do you say the Son of Man is?'

A: You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

Q: Jesus asked, 'which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven", or to say, "Stand up & walk"?'

A: So that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins-He said, stand up & take your bed & go home.

Q: Our Savior asked, 'Do you believe this?'

A: Yes, Lord, I believe You are the resurrection & the life!

These daily devotionals are inspired by the sermon at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg Texas. To watch this sermon follow this link, it takes place during our very special POLKA service...

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

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...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
