3rd Day of the Week
Daily Reading
Daily writing
I have read through all of Ecclesiastes now, many times through Proverbs and Psalms too. The Book of Ecclesiastes is the record of Solomon after considering everything that he has learned at the time of writing it. The words of the wise become dreary and depressing if we forget God's mercy. Yes, if we do not trust in GOD, then life is without meaning, then there is no hope. But the LORD made a Way for man to be redeemed by GOD. By the Salvation of Jesus Christ, man can be forgiven in full. For Christ was perfect as a man; the Lamb of GOD; the Perfect sacrifice for sin. Christ made atonement for our sin; so, GOD can redeem us back to Him. Of all the LAW and requirements, even procedural, our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled all. It is proper and perfect, and this is by my own investigation of the Word. He, our Lord, was perfect and without blemish when He atoned for mankind.
Luke 23:34a (NIV) "Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
Here is the GOOD NEWS: Jesus Christ died in your place, so you can live. Only when you admit your wrongdoings, can it be forgiven. That is called repentance. But, repentance comes with another element; and that is to turn away from wickedness and start walking towards righteousness. Place all your effort to this; to do what is right according to GOD's expectation. He is our Father in Heaven and He will lead you on the path of Righteousness and the Holy Spirit will assist you. When you fail, repent and try again; for that is what pleases the LORD. Do not give up but persist. And read the Word of GOD, see it as your instruction manual. For the Word of GOD is the Living Water that you must be submersed in. That is the true baptism. Do your best and then, do your best to do even better.
Do not get involved in arguments, pray about it. Exercise self-control and become patient in all matters. Yes! Wait on the LORD. His timing is perfect, the little trouble you may face now, is nothing in comparison to everlasting damnation. I have looked at all I could find; I am convinced that GOD created all within His LAW and perfect outcome. Yes, some things are hard to understand, trust in GOD in any way. He will lead you to greater understanding when the time for it has come. Do your bit in righteousness; GOD will do the rest. All your effort, no excuses. There is much to learn, then study as if your life depends on it.
May the LOVE of GOD bring you through all trials and tribulations.
Shalom
Mattit'YAHU, do you remember when you said your opinion does not matter? What about now? When you start to see the will of GOD in matters, does your opinion then count in conversing with man? Yea, without righteousness all is destined to become of no value; but the same is as a treasury in heaven, when understanding sets in. Then, life is not without value. While you draw breath you can work the effects of salvation, do the good acts that is desperately needed in this world. To share in the burdens that man's iniquity has brought on him through his foolish choices. To be a helping hand, the voice of reason in a chaotic world. I did not create the Heavens and the earth unto chaos, but unto order. Order will come, when wickedness is overthrown. In your day, you face the choice, life or death, mercy or revenge. And by the fruit, the tree is established in a name.
A pessimist can only see what is wrong; yea, he is one without hope. An optimist is one who sees what change can bring a better outcome. Yea, he can pray and hope to see a good result. He hopes, he prays in belief and puts his efforts towards that good outcome; while the hopeless sits and do nothing, saying it is all in vain.
So, you have to choose for yourself, what is the viewpoint you wish to live your life according to. Man's beliefs spill out at his mouth and declares his conclusions, even unto heaven. What a man then truly expects to see, that will probably come to him; for he has then invited it to happen. So, are you up to it? Can you live a full life of honour? Can you do the right thing consistently? The godless is full of false hope, for their hope is based in selfishness. Yea, they are the gluttons of pleasure, they lust after destructive measures, their scales unbalanced, for the self always weigh more. So do they work hard at their own destruction, collecting even gold and silver that is worthless to pay for their iniquities. The proud does not accept a free gift, No! He would rather steal what is not his and call himself the most cunning of all. So brings the godless his judgment on himself, for his wealth is based on a lie he told himself. He then, has become his own enemy and worked a whole lifetime to be discovered as a liar and a thief.
Place your hope in righteousness and balance your scales in justice. Give in charity to the poor, for how do you know whom I will give a high seat of authority? Be wise in your efforts, form sound judgment. For in it, you may just find favour in the eyes of him that was low.
Shalom
Introspection
Find your place in this life in the presence of HIM that created all. If it is peace that you are after, look for the Prince of Peace. With these videos I wanted to introduce you to the roots of our faith. I wanted you to experience the wealth of faith in the GOD of promises, who in LOVE gave His only begotten Son to redeem man to GOD. My friends, there is so much more here than what you might know at this stage. We are talking about GOD's LAW that GOD HIMSELF honours too. Friends, if the Jews did not reject Jesus Christ as their Messiah, the grace would not have come to the gentile. GOD's plan is in the process of a perfect execution of all, according to His prophets. So will all the nations of the world be blessed in the seed of Abraham. This can only be understood with a full view of GOD's HOLY WORD.
Enjoy the songs and have a blessed day, walk in righteousness to the best of your ability; repenting of your iniquities and not persisting in them that will ultimately exclude you from GOD's blessings. Salvation is a free gift from GOD.
