prayerfully

Psalms 50:15
"And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me."

We were studying the questions that Jesus asked. Last week, we went into Jesus asking if God would spare Him the agony on the cross. And then we heard the answer from heaven! GOD said "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." GOD gave the stamp of approval to Jesus and His mission. This moment is up there with Jesus's Baptism and the Transfiguration!

Events like this should inspire us to glorify God in the little ways that we can. Take chances to help spread the Gospel. Work with Jesus in His mission field. Call on the Holy Ghost to inspire us and guide us in our lives. Pray to God. Read and study the Holy Scriptures. Worship in the Lord's house every chance we can. Weekly or more. Share God's love with a world that doesn't love GOD.

Even way back in the Psalms, people understood this dynamic of our need to be thankful to GOD. Long before Jesus's incarnation people knew they needed to pray to GOD. God spoke through His prophets telling people to pray to Him. Like we read in today's verse. "And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me." Clear instructions to call upon the Lord. A promise that He will answer our prayers. And rightly we should GLORIFY GOD! This week we begin our study of prayer. We want to become as prayerful as we can!

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...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
