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...

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

The Bread of Life

John 6:33-35 "33 For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." We were studying GOD'S Covenant symbolized by the RAINBOW. It's a VERY important message to know that the Great Flood will NOT happen again. When we see the RAINBOW we want to remember this Covenant. We also want to remember our own Covenant with GOD and how the waters of Baptism washed us clean and gives us the promise of eternal life. This week we will study another Covenant from GOD; The Covenant of Holy Communion. Instituted by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In today's verses He gave us a deep insight into how important and connected this promise from GOD is; "For the BREAD of GOD is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the wo...

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.
