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...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

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!
