Don’t Worry the Lord Will Show Up

Mark 6:45-52 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

THE FOUNDATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Ezra 3:10-13 “And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

No Flesh Shall Glory in His Presence

Exodus 20:22-26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

There Is One That Wants to Destroy You and Only Jesus Can Prevent It.

1 Peter 5:6-11 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen

Getting to the Heart of the Matter

Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

In this scripture we find a rich young ruler coming to Jesus asking how he could attain eternal life. We find Jesus listing the Ten Commandments because these are required by law. The rich young ruler replied, “all these have I kept from my youth yet what lack I?”

You Have Come too Far to Lose Heart

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (lose heart)

We’re living in a time where we find people becoming more discontent and dissatisfied because it seems that nothing goes their way. Many feel they are the looser in every situation. The devaluation of the dollar and the economic system seem to be unraveling which just adds more insecurity to mankind. But Jesus gave us words of encouragement in this parable. Jesus said unto them to this end men ought always to pray and not to faint or lose heart.
