THE SIGNPOSTS ON THE ROAD

GETTING READY ?

  There is so much we think we have to be doing in this world of ours.    We are living, growing, doing, speaking, running, walking, and traveling to and fro; making decisions, thinking and reflecting on mostly what we have at hand.

                     ARE YOU READY ?   JESUS IS
                           HE IS COMING SOON  !

                                 WE ARE ON A JOURNEY
                                  JUST LIKE ABRAHAM

      I know where I am going !
      I know the One who will guide me on my way !
      I know the Eternal Home waiting for me is Sure !

      Jesus either was telling the truth or he lied
       Jesus either was crazy or he was telling the truth.
       If he was telling the TRUTH  why not Trust Him.

       Read about it in the Bible.    The whole Bible from cover to cover is all about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.    Let His dear Spirit help you find Him.     Trust Him today.   He is the Living Way.   John 14. v. 6   I am the way, the truth and the life, no one cometh to the Father but by me.    

ALL THE WAY - EVERY DAY HE LEADS

               ALL THE WAY - EVERY DAY 

                       All the way, every day, He leads.   

 Old hymns are one way that I encourage my heart.   One of these hymns is Fanny Crosby's ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME 

      All the way my Savior leads me,
        What have I to ask beside?

      Can I doubt His tender mercy,

         Who through life has been my guide?

      Heavenly peace, Divinest comfort,

          Here by faith in Him to dwell....

      FOR I KNOW, WHATE'ER BEFALL ME, JESUS DOETH

            ALL THINGS WELL !

     FOR I KNOW, WHATE'ER BEFALL ME, JESUS DOETH 

            ALL THINGS WELL!

    As we enter into the season of Thanksgiving and Christmas, for Chanukkah and joys of family, I encourage you that God knows and cares for you.    He delights in leading us on.   

     All the way my Savior leads me - Cheers each winding path 

          I tread, 

     Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the Living Bread,

     Tho my weary steps may falter and my soul athirst may be,

     Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo ! A spring of Joy I see !

     Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo ! A spring of Joy I see !

TWISTS AND TURNS, EVER ONWARD I GO

TWISTS AND TURNS, EVER ONWARD I GO

     I am bound to keep on going.   

     The Road is ever twisting and turning,

         but I see that I am closer, ever more

     Finding the Shepherd helping me, guiding me,

     Lest I stray by the wayside.

     A sheep follows the Voice of His Shepherd.

     The Shepherd knows how to guide the sheep.

     Ever onward, I follow, clinging

         to the One who I know.

      I will ever Trust Him who Is Able.

      The Light He has given me will draw 

          others to follow after me,

      My task is not to look and see who

          is following, but to 

          Keep On Keeping On

      Looking for His Promise to be with me always.

IS 

Am I going anywhere ? in my life?

Where am I going ?

Am I growing anywhere? How am I growing? 

Am I Alive to Things that Really Matter?

and taking up space?"

GIVING MY BEST, MOMENT BY MOMENT

          MOMENT BY MOMENT

         I am able to take one moment, and cherish it.
         I am blessed to have that one moment.
         "Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever" is what Hebrews 13.8 declares.   In Christ I have the resource of continued strength, and the ability to do what I can, for as long as I can, and however I can, for whoever God sends my way, and for whatever my circumstances or situation may be.

        At Thanksgiving Time it is especially fitting that I think of that verse which says 
                    "GIVE THANKS IN EVERYTHING
                   FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN 
                    CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU."
                           I THESSALONIANS 5.18   

               May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with the 
           Presence of the Lord, for His Promise was that He 
            Would be with us.   I bless the Lord for you, my 
           friend, that He has given me the privilege of sharing
             my heart, and my Lord with you.   God give you
           the courage to accept the things you cannot change,
           the courage to change the things you can, and the 
          wisdom to know the difference.   

            HAPPY  THANKSGIVING DAY and God bless you.  

GIVING MY BEST, MOMENT BY MOMENT

GIVING MY BEST,

MOMENT BY MOMENT

       

My aim is to glorify God

in my life

by

abiding in Christ

by

walking in the Spirit

by 

knowing my Father in Heaven

is watching over me

while I go about 

living,

loving others.

John 15.16,17

You have not chosen me,

but I have chosen you,

and ordained you,

that you should go and bring forth fruit,

and that your fruit

should remain,

that whatsoever you shall ask

of the Father in my Name

He may give it you.

Giving my best moment by moment,

I am given the strength by God

to do what He asks of me,

Giving my best moment by moment,

I know that the Results of what I do

are up to Him.

Being Available to God

is all He asks.

MOMENT BY MOMENTmm

MOMENT BY MOMENT

I'VE LIFE FROM ABOVE

Moment by Moment, 

I'm kept in His love,

Moment by Moment,

I've life from above,

Looking to Jesus 

Till glory doth shine,

Moment by Moment,

O Lord, I am thine.

          (Daniel Whittle 1840 - 1901)

Moment by Moment

Jesus said in Luke 9.23 If anyone would follow me,

let him deny himself, take up his cross daily,

and come

follow me.

Along life's road there is much to distract a person

from following Christ.    

The first thing we must do

is 

LET GO OF OUR "SELF" 

and

give to God all that I am or hope to be.

The next thing is 

to 

DAILY 

take up my cross

IN DOING THIS

We follow on,

Moment by moment,

Day by Day.

There is no short cut to following God along

life's road.  

HOLY DAYS A TIME OF REFLECTION

WITH THE HOLY DAYS OF CHANUKKAH AND THANKSGIVING, AND CHRISTMAS, WE SEE A TIME FOR REFLECTION. There are so many things that contribute to the times in our lives when we gather with others to think about and mull over who God is, and what He has done. Let us use the time wisely, and well. Let us remember to be grateful for the chance to reflect. In loneliness and sorrow, a person often feels lost and apart from others if a Holiday begins. Let us remember that the memories of that dear loved one is only special because we did celebrate together on those days. It is an honor to them, and to God, then, to take on the celebration of these Holy Days and make them a memorable and meaningful time for ourselves, in the midst of loss. My dear husband is now in the presence of our God Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. God is a Spirit, Jesus said, and must be worshipped in Spirit and in Truth. The only God we shall see when we die, or when Jesus comes to take us home in the Rapture, will be Jesus, for Jesus Himself told the disciples, to see Him was to be seeing the Father, and to know Him is to know the Father. We are to abide in Him, and His Words are to abide in us, and so then we can ask what we wish, and it shall be granted. Don't lose the J O Y of Christmas, or the J O Y of Chanukkah, or of Thanksgiving. Take your loss, and let God be your comfort in your time of need. Psalm Twenty Three tells us "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." So let us hold to that. He will fill our loneliness and loss with Himself, as we celebrate the Holy Days. He is God, and God knows and cares and understands our sorrows. He loved us and sent His Son to buy us out of the slave market of sin, and set us free to live and to live in the abundance of Joy. Walk as God would have you walk, in faith that even as Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him - so too you can. Walk as Noah walked, in faith that God was going to keep His promise to him. Walk as Abram walked, knowing God would provide as He promised. Most of all, for those of you who are believers in Y'SHUA, WALK AS JESUS WALKED, knowing God is our comfort, our peace, and our strength.
