Wisdom has two parts…1 Having a lot to say….2 Not saying it.

Wisdom has two parts…1 Having a lot to say….2 Not saying it.

 

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...James 1:5-8 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7… For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad...2 Corinthians 5:10.

 

Do you use discretion when you speak…yes or no? Our words should be encouraging a life well lived. We should turn away from evil deeds and words and use ourselves as instruments of doing what is right. Is it hard to keep your mouth shut or to speak right…we can always walk away from a situation and not participate. We can all try to better the situation and not make it worse if we participate at all then let us as it is written… Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers...Ephesians 4:29.

 

I myself need to work on my words…I sometimes slip and cuss. I spent a long time cussing before I became a Christian and some times I still slip and do. I hope I can be encouraging and say the things needed to better a person or situation. I know we will be judged even by the idle words we say and many times wish I did not cuss when I have done so. So I am going to try to have cleaner speech…because it just does not sound right…I am a Christian but sometimes a cuss a little.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive me of my cussing and help me to stop using idle words…please meet my soul’s deepest needs and heal my wounds…and heal those offended by any cuss words or my behavior in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Thankful for freedom from the Patriot and Jesus shedding their own blood...

Dear fellow American Citizens

 

I want to take a few moments of your time to remember why America is great at these times of thanksgiving:

 

America is great because of the written rule of law established by our founding fathers

1.       Risked their own lives, liberty, in freeing us and themselves in their pursuit of happiness

2.       Signed the declaration of independence that declares we are all equal under our Creator

3.       Shed blood…their own and the lives of the tyrants they overthrew for liberty

America is great because of the fallen soldier who died so we can sleep at peace at night

1.       How many of us live in the memory of a fallen soldier or family member

2.       How many us know a brave volunteer willing to die to free ithers from evil

3.       The American Soldier shed his blood so we can sleep at peace at night

America is great because of the Freedoms guaranteed by the constitution and amendments

1.       America is great because great men and women have left us a written rule of law

2.       The first amendment:

a.       Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

3.       The Second Amendment:

a.       A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

 

I am grateful for the lives that have sacrificed so much so we can sleep in peace at night.

I am so grateful for the written rule of law that guarantees my freedoms here in America.

I am so grateful to the American Soldier and volunteers who stand against evil so we can live in peace.

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ who shed His blood so we can be forgiven and reconciled to You our Creator.

 

Prayer

Father I am thankful for the United States where I live, the Constitution, and the men and women that sustain the freedoms and rights guaranteed by the Constitution please meet our soul’s deepest needs and may the Constitution reign supreme here in America…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

As Christians are we told to be thankful...yes or no...


Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour (saving influence) of his knowledge by us in every place…I exhort (encourage)  therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men… And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him...In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you....2 Corinthians 2:14...1 Timothy 2:1...Colossians 3:17...1 Thessalonians 5:18

 

What does a man have he did not receive…did you choose your birth? Did you choose your parents? We did not determine when we were born…either our parents modest poor or rich…we did not choose our raising…but we did choose Jesus when we were baptized, Who is the greatest dad a person can have. Do you want to be adopted into the family of God and have Jesus as the Good Shepherd overseeing your soul…yes or no? Then you must believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead and then be baptized for the remission of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Will you be baptized into Christ…yes or no? Jesus said after His resurrection… He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:16.

 

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep...John 10:7-11. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God...John 1:12-13. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God...Romans 8:15-16.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for adopting me and all those who have been baptized into Christ…thank you for all the things you have given us known and unknown and please forgive us and meet our soul’s deepest needs for gratitude…for being adopted into your family…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
