Is this really Fruit Loops?

 

 Fruit should appear as fruit and taste like it! 

When our daughter had just completed kindergarten, the new school year was about to begin and there was a project of one cereal company to add a bonus packaged cereal to your big family sized box of cereal. To us, it meant someone was trying to manipulate our child ( or children) into this new way of eating too much sugar. And at the time, we had gotten a box of cereal, something like with bran but there was something added like a bonus called fruit loops was attached to the box. 

Of course, when our daughter saw it, she asked for it. Not to have a fight about cereal, we opened it, although adding no milk to it, but only putting some in her hand for taste. Telling her to taste each color, and then she spoke that they all tasted the same. Then she said, " why would they call it fruit loops"? She tasted the last color exploding with the sugared flavor, she shook her head, and walked away and I am left holding this small box of cereal, oops I mean this box of sugar and put it away for good. ( And I was wondering how someone could get away with telling another as a child that the colored stuff was fruit!) Now anything from the beginning given as a lie will not make a foundation firm for anything! 

On thinking about this early on today, I was reminded of an incident that is in the Old Testament. It was this: Genesis 38: It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brother's and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her and went in to her. 3 So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. 4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. 5 And she conceived yet again and bore a son and called His name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him. 6 Then Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the LORD and the LORD killed him.

You know visiting others not with God, is everything outside of God and outside of purpose in God. Judah lusted after a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. From the Dake's study Bible, they listed Er as being fifteen years old when he took Tamar as his wife!

Genesis 38: 8 and Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife and marry her and raise up an heir to your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; therefore He killed him also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown." For he said, "Lest he also die like his brothers." And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. 

Genesis 38:12 Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, "Look, your father -in- law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep. 14 So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife. 15 Then he turned to her by the way, and said, " Please let me come in to you" ; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, "what will you give me, that you may come in to me?" 17 And he said, "I will send a young goat from the flock." So she said, " "will you give me a pledge till you send it?" 18 Then he said, "What pledge shall I give you?" so she said, "Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand." Then he gave them to her and went in to her and she conceived by him. 19 So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

Genesis 38: 21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, "Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?" and they said, "There was no harlot in this place." 22 So he returned to Judah and said, "I cannot find her. Also, the men of the place said there was no harlot in this place." 23 Then Judah said, "Let her take them for herself, lest we be shamed; for I sent this young goat and you have not found her." 24 And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter -in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!" 

Genesis 38:25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." and she said, "Please determine whose these are---the signet, and cord and staff." 26  So Judah acknowledged them and said, "She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son." And he never knew her again. 27 Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, "this one came out first." 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, "How did you break through? This breach be upon you!" therefore his name was called Perez. 30 Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. and his name was called Zerah.

Humans can be moved by immoral acts. BUT Born-again people should not be moved by that in regards that they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit into living for God. But here we have a man who made a promise. Evidently the man was making promises he could not keep and she, Tamar, knew him for being the immoral and without restraint and integrity. For he had sent her away to live in her father's house till the boy, Shelah, became a man. Now remember in those days, the men mostly took young girls for wives, so Tamar was  probably not much older than Shelah when he was born. 

Still, this Judah acted out a scene he had done before. His wife now gone and his time of living returned without her by his side, he goes to help shear his own sheep. And he sees this woman beside the two springs area. She has the look of the "harlot". She has on eye makeup and the attire of a harlot.  But knowing his habits, she requires his authority be given her. She required his signet, his cord and staff. So when the Adullamite shows up with a goat, the woman is not found. No one has seen "this harlot". 

Interesting how you can get someone to see the harlot and others do not see! Judah's plan then is to tell no one of what occurred. But alas this Tamar is pregnant. And she has those objects in her possession. The righteous is seen and the unrighteous wanted to hide his real identity and the object of his pride being outwitted.

In truth, Judah rejected the covenant family's marriage traditions seen in Genesis 24:3 " and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;; Genesis 28:1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him and said to him: "You will not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.  So here we have the son Er, and was the wicked person in the Lord's sight and married to Tamar!

 So Tamar was left behind in that marriage when Er was killed because of wickedness. Then Onan would not mate with her for children and he was killed. Disreputable behavior can be seen when one starts to lie and call something what it is not. Because the father, Judah was enamored with those God said to stay away from, his own boys became like what he lusted about. His first son was wicked like those people Judah married into. And Onan, well, he chose to spill his own fluids on the ground and this was evil in the sight of God, too. It was Judah's marriage to the Canaanite woman that was the very first step into intermingling of God's people with a race that was the proverbial for its gross immorality. God had warned them not to do that. Judah fratenized with the world and paid a really big price.

Keeping authority is remembering to be righteous in the Lord. In describing the scene so clearly one would have seen this when Judah did not hesitate to bring Tamar to justice. No quiver would be found in his voice. He would not have shuddered in any kind of fearfulness to have his first son's wife brought up on these charges. It was the Israelitish society that must be preserved from folly and much wickedness. Preparations are made. The stake is planted in the ground, the pile of wood is arranged and the crowd gathers. Tamar walks into the scene. ( to me it seems like a horror movie!) But she carries the authority given her. He, Judah, who called for the justice now himself  must face the justice of God!

She was righteous in what she did although dangerous.Yes, this was about reputations, pride and honoring or worshiping the wrong thing! If Judah had remained within the family heritage of covenant seen in Genesis 24:3 or Genesis 28:1, then he would have not had his life revealed as the idolater and fornicator. 

Busy about life, and he forgot about God! Busy in his own ways, and he failed. He was not a man given to truth. He refused to give his son Shelah to Tamar. And she, who was influenced by no other means than that which was the common to all Israelitish women, that desire to have children who might be heirs of the promise made to Abraham, did what she could for a family she knew was hers.

Conflicts appear! And we are to be those who commit to peaceful ends, but conflict is with a fight for righteous ways in righteous behavior having that characteristic of integrity. For we prevail by God's words, a truth with no threats but warnings indeed and it only comes to those committed to work it out in the justice of God.

Even to a child of seven, our daughter did not see fruit. All she saw was a box with colored objects which the label read out was that of fruit. It did not appeal to her and from a cereal manufacturer maintaining their voice of saying it was so was wrong then and it is wrong today! Even so to us as adults should not be chasing after that which has no integrity, no life or peace in it. Because if you follow after lies for long enough, you will either become like the lie spoken or you will fight not to win over another, but fight to prevail in truth where your character is seen of righteousness and not to be appearing as a fruit loop loaded with sugar and absolutely no substance for good!

Praying and Struggling with Choices

To find the answer He will take us by hand to lead the way!

Prayer is important and vital in these days no doubt! But how we pray for someone and pray for something must be what is the heart of God for them and for us and not what we choose or according to what that person may hold as the right way in dealing with any unexpected trial.
If our steps are truly ordered for us by God Himself, He will direct our prayers in that way that is pleasing to Him and address the specific request in a way that reaches the persons heart for God. We are reminded in Psalm 37: 23-24 that "the steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand."
Certainly this speaks of the "good man" and the LORD is delighted in his way. That is the good man is choosing God's ways and God's thoughts! And it is the LORD Who upholds him with His hand. That is a close up and personal walk in prayer.

Was thinking of prayer this morning and praying for those who have churches and no services in a shut down environment. I was praying for those who have called on us in the last few days to check us. Thank you!
But I thought of those who have no changed heart in all this that is occurring in this land where last year we had people taking a knee to exploit a nation and its flag through sports for their own demands. We saw those hold up traffic in streets to voice opposition that looked more like war on society than a peaceful march! People do not get hurt in peaceful circumstances!
There was that which exalted sports, belittled the President of our country, exalted those claiming Global Warming and raising up teens to speak of something they know nothing about and that continual war of words. And for this new year, we find so many who appear to be experts on something that just appeared to kill. There is that struggle in making life altering decisions and there can be that struggle to pray the right way to hear God's answer for what we seek to know.

In struggling with prayer, where does one start to pray for something as our nation that is so loved by some and hated by so many more. For us, we were taught the Constitution of the United States. We pray what we know as taught from school and the importance of why it was created. In one nation under God would be there is a people who pay attention to what God speaks and to what God does! But there is a vast difference between knowing Him and only able to speak what we think we know.

As for those who live outside this nation, the struggle can still be experienced in how do I (normal) person reach an all-seeing and all-knowing God?
Relationship is how you get to know someone. Romans 5:8-10 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Yes, it was God who initiated that relationship. He extended His love toward us. It was by the very "gift " of His Son and it was His blood shed that marked that gifting toward us and it revealed a depth of love so profound that it is viewed every time we take a look at the Cross and take a deep breath of air. 
1 John 1:5-7 NKJV 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Having that light is seeing those with which we have fellowship with and who we, in the love of God,reach out to in the good time and in the time of the not so good time. It is God who revealed to us a forgiveness in that is always being extended toward us, and in that beckoning,we keep coming back to "relationship' where a routine is begun. It is an adventure with God and an expectancy that is ground shaking, and power motivated to give us strength, where His word produces in us more peace, more joy, and more abundant life. 

In this walk of seeking time with Him in word and prayer, we are reminded what a great salvation had appeared to man. It is a place to conform to the image of our Father and see Him as Jesus saw Him so many thousands of years ago. It is looking for His presence, guided by the Holy Spirit to do our part, but if we do not give time nor attention to that fellowship with Him, then absolutely nothing will happen!

So when a "trial", a "testing" or tribulation appears, one can certainly make their way to finding that last prayer that was prayed for Aunt Jane when she broke her ankle or Aunt Susan when she wanted to fly to South America but she was afraid of heights and had never flown before, might not be the right thing for say your neighbor next door!  And in this prayer time, we should expect to meet our Father and find His heart for this time now for who is on our heart now!
Prayer is finding the Father's heart for the "one" in a trial to causes the heart to pound, and the pulse to be felt in the brow of one's head.

In this hour, this scripture speaks loudly…… Revelation 19:8-10.....NKJV  9 Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!' " And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God." 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." 

Do our words and worship exalt the Lord God or do they exalt something else altogether?

If we are all working together, just like the written word……”see that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!”

In the book of Revelation, we find that which involves some of the "church" but much has to do with Israel. Still it has to do with what is called "the Tribulation" time.

How many days before the tribulation begins? Is it still years off or does it begin tomorrow? Whatever the timing, still our heart is to be for God our Father and to His eternal glory. When we truly have the Holy Spirit residing in us, our words and worship are witnesses of who we follow, who we listen to, who we read about, and who we confess!  There is One true God and we are to follow Him and be obedient to all He asks us to do.

So when we seek to pray for another, will we ask Him what is His heart for say: Mike, Candace, Julie, Lisa, Randy, Duane or Sheree? Will we speak to Him about our heart's willingness to pray and to seek His plan for their life in this very hour where hostile actions are seen, rants are heard, and anything but truth seems to appear in the oddest places. Will we pray when earthquakes are growing, storms are increasing and viruses appear with many names?

Certain things of routine have changed here in this nation we call America and call home. But the same God who desired this nation to be a place where His name would be lifted up has come to know a place where humanism has taken over. In a nation built for His glory by men who sought God in prayer and in truth, we find many trying to change what He purposed for this nation of many but still one in Him.
Will we repent of sins, repent of those things so contrary to His ways and His thoughts to become that man or woman to pray in His name that which is given to us through the words of Jesus?

If struggling to understand this time and this hour, you might pray this:

Father, in Jesus’ name, we thank You for filling us with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that we may walk worthy of You Lord, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You. 

Thank You today for those past and present relationships. We have learned from those who oppose us and from those who are for us. You taught us to recognize and understand our strengths and weaknesses. You have given us discernment and spiritual understanding. We enter Your gates with thanksgiving in our hearts!

We thank you for good friends, a great family and good health but we pray for those who have lost dear family members to a virus that no one can see with the naked eye without the help of a microscope. We know this did not surprise You or Your Son Jesus. We pray for those who have lost a spouse, a child, or sibling to be armed with Your love, and to know Your goodness in the midst of a dark storm of adversity and change. May they see that what was a normal routine can be turned into time with God to hear You speak. For Lord we know it is in those times of trial and testing will be what we choose to make of it, and is that moment when You should be first of whom we seek. You have not given us the spirit of fear, but you have given us power, love and a sound mind. 

You have not left us orphans. YOU have given us Your Holy Spirit to comfort us in trials and tribulations. You have given us Your word to strengthen our hearts in time of trial when the "suddeness" of what is normal for life moves to engaging in warfare to live and not die! Psalm 118:16-17 speaks The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the LORD.

We thank You for those we pray for today as they are made in Your image. We pray and ask in Jesus' name what You have for each of them. We pray that they would know You above all else and that You will be pleased as we seek to know more of Your heart for them. Today, we pray according to 1 Corinthians 15:33 that they would not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." We know from this that evil companionship's will corrupt and deprave good manners, morals and character. We pray that as You reach out to them, they will reach back for You.

We ask for their eyes to opened to see what You have before them. May they know the total surrender and submitting to You means a place of refuge in peace and love where self-interest is not seen. We know from Your word that submitting to You is resisting the devil and every evil ploy of the enemy.

We pray for those listed today and believe them to lead in places You have called them to lead. May they discover the Promises You have for their lives and speak them to these people in their dreams tonight and every night. Father, we pray for each of these dear ones and expect balance in their lives that is met in them both spiritually, physically, socially, financially and mentally . May they be the spiritually motivated people who reside in truth, unified in their faith in God through the shed blood of Jesus and not by manipulation!

We believe them to be those who are those who walk in truth & give other’s the God kind of love always!  In this love of God, we believe them to be the head and not the tail, to be above and not beneath. May they rise in knowing the truth that prevails when spoken with faith in their heart to see those mountains move out of their way. We expect their walk by faith will be an adventure of life like no other they have ever had. We believe their hearts to be encouraged and their love will spill over as they bring much glory to You our Father of glory. Be blessed forever our God of glory. Your truth prevails now for each made in Your image. Amen and Amen. 

For each of you who must make a decision for life, who may live in America or elsewhere, still a struggle may be evident in your life. With all the chaos in this world, the only sound life that can be found is in Jesus. It is a life that is refreshing, ....but it only comes when we repent of our sins and receive Jesus as Lord. If there is no repentance, then there is no refreshing to be had ever. 

In the daily walk with God, peace should rule our hearts. That comes when we read and apply God's word to our lives, to situations and to our prayer time with Him. Manipulation should not appear in making a connection with God our Father. To manipulate with many tears but not have your heart in it, is not an expectant heart to receive anything from God Who is in heaven. Knowing our Father through Jesus goes beyond any traditional religion and it will always go further and deeper into that of God, for it involves those who will with selfless desires move toward Him who hears from heaven. If you struggle today in prayer, and in making the right decision, ask in His name that which comes in the authority of Christ and will glorify Him. In this the Father is glorified and Jesus is honored and you will find peace that lasts you forever!

NO Running Amuck

Voice of Prayer

Was thinking of the song from the late 1960's written by a team of Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter. Was written in what was considered the turbulent 60's and I recall Joan Baez singing the song "One Tin Soldier".
The song mentions the "treasure" and how the people down below desire to get their hands on the treasure. They hate others and want "that treasure". The short of it, only one will ride away........and the treasure..well,....."Peace on Earth" was all it read.

Being justified in our own thinking helps no one. If we make decisions based on our own thinking without the counsel of God, then we run amuck.  That is a great disaster as in leaving a two year old child alone, or being out of order in situations that call for peace and guidance. If asked to follow instructions, do we fail to follow them? If those marching in accordance with police on the scene, will be watch and obey all instructions, or will we desire our own "way"?
If it does not happen on what they call "a peaceful" march, then how can it happen at all, anywhere?
Is relational peace possible? It is if all parties choose to participate in being peaceful and following God's plan toward that end.

Our thinking is to align with God's ways and His peace.
We are to "eagerly wait for" Christ's return, not just passively wait around (Hebrews 9:28). Jesus was emphatic that His followers should hope for His return, expect His return and pray for His return! In addition, our enthusiastic anticipation and excitement will intensify as we see more and more world events fulfilling Bible prophecies-especially those that point to the increasing nearness of Christ's return.
Note the watching, waiting, anticipation and preparedness in the following passage: "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when He will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching " (Luke 12:35-36). Jesus concluded His message by saying, "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect" (verse 40).

Is one out to march to find some "thrill" in their life? Are they making a statement for good and for good to and for others or is it bent toward disaster? We certainly want order today, but the only order we really need is that which comes from God to godly leaders, godly leaders in government, in county government, city government and national government. Having one true leader is found in God and not in ourselves. Our help comes from Him of course, but is not done in violence. If you were the one on the ground, did you not obey the instructions that were given?


Isaiah 55:6-13   KJV

6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.


Righteous thinking that is of God gives us support when we truly are heeding His ways and experiencing His mercy, that presents that womb of life that is open to us to receive all that is blessed of God that is to life and not death. In speaking of God and His words, that breath of God goes into that situation that may seem out of order. Speaking His words become our words..........not of hate, or confusion but of peace, love and welfare.Whether it has to do with your health care, health insurance, raising small children, planning for several children's college, life can seem out of order. There are things that must be done and people spoken to as in addressing adding more savings to your account each month. It might also be necessary to plan out a new insurance plan for your family in health or dental.

When going out to do anything, people will remember your name. They may not remember your face, but they will "the name".
God puts great importance on the His name. God puts great emphasis on His name and His standard for life. He put them into stone. And Jesus is that Cornerstone.


In going out today, tomorrow or next week, will our name represent truth, or hate? Will our name represent God and His love or only more lies and more hypocrisy? Will our name be of value or of no value? If we value no one else's life, then why would we expect anything different for our own lives?

If we truly are the family of God, a son of God and one of His children, then we must stop deceiving ourselves that God will just have to take us as we are.
The "I gotta be me"....and just do it is not going to work!

 In recent months I had done teachings placed on Youtube channel about the"the Blame Game" and "Excuses"..(Voice of Prayer link at the bottom)...and of each of these the Lord showed the importance of stopping the blame. If we have failed, it because we failed. For problems or shortcomings, justifications seems the end result of statement. The closest to us is usually the one who gets the blame, right?

When our daughter was still at home with us, still in high school and before leaving for college, I thought she always made a mess of the refrigerator. Not sure why I thought that way. Then she went to college some hours away from home, and the next logical person was my husband. Well, that worked till he started to travel some and for about 10 years I discovered that it was me who made a mess of the refrigerator. Now, I could not "blame" my poodle, she was a teacup poodle!

I have heard kids mention the blame on their parents. And parents are to lead, but what teaching and guidance have they given that their teens now place on that guilt on them? If it is" do as I say and not as I do" then you the parent have truly failed.  Each of us has a responsibility in this life. No matter what, people will know what character you represent.  If you are righteous at home, then most certainly you should be representing righteousness in the public arena and not the WWF. ( the world wrestling federation)

In today's news, a word was given on a 17 year who committed armed robbery at a hotel and then was shot down by police. Yes, he was carrying a gun, a fake one indeed! And people desire justice.
Armed robbery is an offense that puts one away for a long time. Why would he need to be out robbing a hotel in early morning hours? Where was his family? Breaking laws is not good, but neither is the thinking of a youth to think one can go and with a fake gun expect to come home safe. Laws were made to protect the innocent. But who is really being protected?

God's ways must rule our hearts. We must be strengthened in Him daily and abide in His peace that is blessed of God Himself. In that blessing, it is in our daily living that others should see God doing things for us and through us. But the important part of that is that we be responsible with our lives in our moments alone. We must understand there is a judgement coming. And it is one with fire!
Unless God sees the Blood of the Great Sacrifice of His Son over your heart and mine, then only chaos, a running amuck will end in a lake of fire. I think of all who have gone out to "I gotta be me" and came back not walking or even with a breath in them, but came back without any life at all. God is good and He has good for us all. He sent His Son for us all.............and in that salvation has come. In that we have His peace and abide in that mercy that keeps us in the womb of restoration, of life and fruitful tomorrows? Are we abiding in Him or just running amuck?

If injustice has come to your house and into your life, the best  answer for you is in God.......for it is by only one name that we are saved. And not only saved, but have all the answers God has for us in any event, trial or tribulation.

John 1:12......Salvation is through His name 

Matthew 18:20..... Believers are to gather in His name 

John 14:13-14...... Prayer is to be made in His name

Matthew 10:22....The servant of the Lord who bears the name of Christ will be hated

Romans 10:12-13......KJV

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  

Would not want to go to another name...........no other can save us in any situation! Salvation covers many things, and we must know on WHO we must rely. We must know in who our trust should be in...........did you check out who you are running with today? You might take note!
Take a look and see who you might be going out with today.......and will you be safe? Did God tell you to go, then GO!  Safety begins in our hearts, and it is to be the place where Jesus rules our hearts. If He is not there ruling, then who or what is ruling, say your heart, your child's heart, your friends heart...........yes ask and take note! No running amuck here...........I choose to avoid that lake of fire............!
