Tuesday: The Plan 2

"Up in the morning, out on the job, working like the devil for my pay."

"For the wages of sin is death."

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is a beautiful day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Tuesday and it is Schools Day on this line, and we need to be really praying for our schools. Also please pray for those on our daily prayer list.

The Plan 2: "Up in the morning, out on the job, working like the devil for my pay." That is, if I am not mistaken, the words to the first line of a song from back in the 40's. "For the wages of sin is death." Is the price we pray if we go out and work like the devil for our pay. You really can't work for the devil and expect anything more. Here it is right from the Bible:

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)

Now I don't know about you, but I do not want to work for the devil and I no longer even want to have a thing to do with him. I long ago came over to our Lord Jesus to be saved, to be Born Again. Think of all those people who are working for the devil and one of your biggest jobs when working for the devil is to be looking over your shoulder. How do we get this off of our back? What must one do to get rid of it? Let's look at a few places in the Bible.

Matthew 9: 13 - "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice'. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (NIV)

Here is what it means to me, folks. The verse tells us to go and learn what it means. Are you ready for this today...

Matthew 4: 17 - From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." (NIV)

Ok, that is what it means to me... "I desire mercy, not sacrifice". If we want the mercy that Jesus was talking about we need to be repenting from our sins, and folks, we need to not put it off a day longer. REPENT NOW, SINNERS... and folks, we are sinners, all of us. How long are you going to wait to repent? Till tonight, tomorrow, the next day, next week? Keep putting it off and you might find you do not get it done before your time is up. You cannot hide your sins from the Lord, folks, He sees them all. (Scary isn't it?) Why be scared, why not repent and come nearer and nearer to Jesus? If you don't repent then you get the wages you earned... DEATH!! I like to put it like this... and it is your choice, 100% your choice... Heaven or Hell... Where do you want to go when you check out of here? Up or down, so to speak. Golden streets, or a fire pit.

Can we just pray a little prayer today to ask God to help us repent? It is not always easy, as the devil is up early in the morning and works hard to get us. If you are working for the devil you are on THE WRONG PAYROLL... Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven, help me to repent, and work for Jesus and not evil... Thank You Father... In Jesus name, Amen.

Go forth sharing those blessings and working for Jesus... working for Jesus, oh yes, all part of THE PLAN. Come back tomorrow and let's dig deeper into That Plan... love ya, dan.
