Friday 10/30/15 Assignments (8)

Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Thanks for another great day. Thanks for safety on the highway. Lord, please be with the family of Stephen Lehman in their time of sorrow. Father, please be with our leaders and with our country, and please help people learn more and more each day how to love You and to love each other. Thanks, Lord, and all honor and glory to You for a great report from the surgeon today. Again, Lord, all honor and glory to You. Please  help me with the message and please help me to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I give praise and pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, great news this day as I had my final check on the surgery from October 5th. All is good, with a warning not to lift anything heavy. I did not get to the computer yesterday as I was sitting out front watching for "empty hot dogs," you know, "hollow wieners." I had about ten bags of candy, had two people stop, but it was nice as some deer were within 25 or 30 feet of me, and a couple of feral cats jumped up on my lap as I sat on my scooter. As for the leftover candy, I think I am on a sugar high today.

I am loving these messages God has been giving me on assignments. We have not even touched on the best ones yet. Are you getting your assignments done, both those here on earth and also those laid out in our Bibles? Let me get to the message.

Friday: October 30, 2015: Assignments (Day Eight)

Exodus 20:1 - And God spoke all these words. 2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, please get out your Bible and read Exodus 20:1 through 17. These would be what we know as the "Ten Commandments." For today let me refer to them as the "Ten Assignments" coming right from God. One television program that I like is Family Feud and on one show the question was how many of the Ten Commandments have you broken? The lady answered "seven." Of course the host made a big joke about it. As for me, I got to thinking how many of them over the years have I broken? No, no, I am not going to tell you, I confess to Jesus, but let me tell you this right here and now. I am glad I serve a Savior who forgives us of our past. Right now someone should be thinking "me too."

But as I looked all of these over they are indeed assignments from God. I also want you to notice that God used the same tool on these commandments as He did when He formed the earth. I did ask you what that tool was and today I will tell you that it was His tongue as He spoke creation in the beginning and He spoke the Ten Commandments. I know you folks were thinking He must have used "Facebook" or a cell phone but really they were not made yet. I wonder if our younger generation knows that.

Do you ever wonder what it must have been like to have everything you ever needed and messed up and lost it all? Think about it, do you know anybody at all, past or present, that had everything they needed in life and lost it all? And when they messed up and lost it all, it caused everyone in the world a problem. Might you know who I am talking about? If you know who, tell me, please. Yes, I do know who it was.

Okay, let us go out singing today. I know you just love to sing.

This is the Day (Les Garrett)

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made,

We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made,

We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it,
and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

Dear Father in Heaven: Indeed this is the day You have made, because You make them all. Please, Lord, forgive me of my sins, and Lord, help me to Love You more and more each day. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Please go forth and serve Jesus. Love ya.
