Your Life Is Like A Morning Fog...

Hear these sobering words from James 4:14-17 (NLT):

(14) How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog — it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.
(15) What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”
(16) Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.
(17) Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

Only one life will soon be past,
and only what's done for Christ will last.

God is Here, There, And Everywhere!

Fill your mind with the thought that God is there. And once your mind is truly filled with that thought, when you experience difficulties it will be as easy as breathing for you to remember, “My heavenly Father knows all about this!”
-- Oswald Chambers

(7) I can never escape from Your Spirit!
I can never get away from Your presence!
(8) If I go up to heaven, You are there;
if I go down to the grave, You are there.
(9) If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
(10) even there Your hand will guide me,
and Your strength will support me.
(11) I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
(12) but even in darkness I cannot hide from You.
To You the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to You.
-- Psalm 139:7-12 (NLT)

God is here. God is there. Surely, God is Everywhere!

If AnyONE?

The Glorified Christ sent this message by John the Evangelist to the church at Laodecia:

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in... -- (Revelation 3:20a NIV)

Lord, I want to be one who opens the door and says "Welcome Wonderful One!" In Your Holy Name, Jesus. Amen.

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Here & Hereafter

What an amazing "here" and what an awesome "hereafter" is ours in Christ Jesus!

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
--Philippians 1:21 (NLT)

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Clear Vision is Critical!

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) says:
Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Clear Vision is Critical. Seeing beneath the surface is essential.

Here's a little vision drill.
What message do you immediately see in these fourteen letters?

JESUSISNOWHERE!

(Now, scroll down to the end of the "?" marks...)

Did you look at the fourteen letters long enough to see two messages? Don't trust everything you see at first glance. Often we must look deeper if we want to be encouraged.

Regardless of what message you saw immediately, be sure you cling ultimately to the second message listed below:

(1) JESUS IS NO WHERE?
(2) JESUS IS NOW HERE!

It's true, JESUS IS NOW HERE, because The One called Wonderful, JESUS, speaks these encouraging words to us in John 14:18 (NKJV) -- I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Let's embrace with spiritual eyes the evidence that true faith (clear vision) delivers. Hebrews 11:1 defines it: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (NKJV)

HE IS HERE! HALLELUJAH! HE IS HERE! AMEN!

Open the eyes of our hearts, Lord. We want to see You.
ALL JOY!
