I pray that I can get the messages out right for You so that Your word does get out. Please protect Your people from the storms that are coming through are area tonight and tomorrow. Lord, be with Jan Dellinger, daughter of Pat & Burt Emig. Janis to have a double biopsy on her breasts and we look to You for healing and a good report. Please also be with Patsy and Burt and heal them and be with them as they stand by their daughter. Thanks for all that You do for all of us, and now, Lord, please on this day we call Salvation Wednesday help me with the message and then deliver it to the masses. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Pastor Dan's Safety Tip: A stop sign means just that. STOP!! That means the wheels on the vehicle are stopped and then you check traffic. Amazing how much better you can check traffic if you really take time to STOP and look.
Brothers and sisters, new to the prayer list today is Jan Dellinger, who is having a double biopsy, checking for breast cancer. Pray for a good report. Today is Wednesday, meaning it is Salvation Wednesday on this line. Let me get right to some more promises from God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life is Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)
A promise from God, one we might not like, but it is a promise ... we get paid to sin. YES, it tells us right here in the scriptures. The wages, or our pay, for our sins is DEATH!! Let me see, I must ask this, I just must. If the wages of sin is death, I just wonder how much of those wages the IRS is going to want to take. I just can't help myself some days. Check this out, same scripture that promises us that the wages of sin is death, we find the promise of God in the form of a gift, and the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. (NIV)
Yes, I love this one. The promise is that in ALL THINGS, God will work them for the good of those who love Him. Sorry, this promise is for those who love Him. And it is also done according to His will for us. And that, dear brothers and sisters, is the way it should be. Sometimes I hear people just say that all things come together for good. And they stop short of saying for those who love Him.
Let's look at one more promise today. This one from Nehemiah ...
Nehemiah 8:10 - Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. (NIV)
First, let's look back in the day of Nehemiah, who, by the way, is the shortest man named in the Bible, back in the day people prepared things for the needy as we should be doing today. If we follow the commands of our Lord, if we obey Him, if we come to Him, that will surely please Him, and we can truly say when we see joy in our Lord. "The joy of our Lord is our strength." Amen.
Oh, and Nehemiah, being the shortest man named in the Bible. Yes, he is, listen up and learn. Nehemiah, pronounced "Knee High Miah." Yes, some days I just cannot help myself.
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya. Pass it on.
Pastor Dan
