A Longing

Psalms 119:40

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Each of us have had some sort of longing to rest upon in lieu of our future. We’re always longing for this or that and we’re even making preparations to that end. We’re never sure what to put our trust or our faith in. Of all the unsure things this world has to offer, I ‘m glad God has a more permanent future for all of us if we’d only look to Him as Lord of our life. I appreciate what the psalmist David said in Psalm 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. This world seems to have so much to offer but it’s only temporary... all of it. God’s Word is what will last forever as it always has. As a Christian, do we have a longing to know more of the Word of God. What a blessing each time I open the Bible and read. All of life’s problems are solved in this blessed Book therefore I long for it’s law to help me. It is because of The Word of God that I have life through the Lord Jesus Christ. Before I got saved I was dead in my sins but the day the Lord saved me He quickened me (made me alive) in Jesus. I may not be perfect in this life but in Him I have been made perfect through the blood of Jesus. I’m glad I am Heaven Bound. How about you my friend, do you know the Lord Jesus as Lord of Your life. God Bless!!!

He’s Coming

My heart was challenged just a short time ago. Challenged with a video of a woman who had declared that she had an encounter with God and wanted to share with everyone who would listen. She was on a road running and said had what she thought was a vision. She could see Jesus in front of her yet the more she ran, the farther away He got. She said that even when she would run faster to catch up with Him He seemed to get far away from her. Her anguish was at an all time high and couldn’t understand what was going on. Finally Jesus stopped and turned and looked at her, taking her by the hand and said “you are putting so many things before me and it has separated you from me.“ Jesus told her that He is coming soon and much sooner than you think and we needed to put away those things that are not important and put Him first.
Folks, isn’t that exactly what’s happening today with everything that’s going on. The pandemic, the marching, the riots, the destruction, the political scene and the list goes on. All of it has taken our hearts away from what’s really important that Jesus loves us and died for us and is coming soon and we need to be ready for His return. The bottom line is that in 500 years none of those things will be important except that you know Him as Lord of your life. We need to get our priorities in order. Don’t miss Heaven for this world for it’s not worth it. May God bless!!
