Day 8 of Thankfulness…

‎~ Nov. 8th - I heard this on the radio this morning..."In heaven there is no doubt who Jesus (God) is or what He can do. But, here on earth is where the confusion begins." Today, I am thankful that I can say that I know who Jesus is and what He can do. And, that I can pass that knowledge and understanding onto my children. So, that their faith can be rooted and grounded in truth and something that will last the test of time. Deuteronomy 6:4-5 KJV , "Hear , O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." There is only one God and we should love Him ALL our heart, soul and might. In Ephesians 4:6 KJV it says, "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." He rules over all, works through all and is in all things that surround us. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 KJV, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." There is only ONE God, His name is Jesus. He served as the mediator or the one that would bring us the opportunity to go to heaven and experience a sin-less and victorious life. When we get to heaven, we are not going to see father, son, and holy ghost. Those are titles used to describe the ONE God, who has ALL power. And, His name is Jesus. In heaven, there is no doubt that God has a name and that He has all power...JESUS. But, here on earth is where the confusion begins to cloud our thinking and understanding. But, I am thankful that I can go to the Word of God and read about who God is and what He can do! I am thankful that I have no doubt about it...Jesus is God and He has all power. ♥

‎~ My "little man" turns 9 years old in 6 days. And, he is SO excited that after he turns 9 he gets to be a Junior Usher at Church. It excites me to see him so geared up about being used for God. Also, the past couple days, my sons allergies and asthma has been going "haywire". This morning he went and got his Bible and asked me help him find that scriptures about "by His stripes we are healed". So, we looked up Isaiah 53:5 (KJV), "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." And, 1 Peter 2:24 (KJV), "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we , being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." My son started reading these verses and we prayed and his symptoms begin to subside. :o) This old hymn comes to my mind...♪♫ My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
