Knock, Knock

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20 KJV). Many have played the game, “Knock, Knock, Who’s There?” The fun, joke, anticipation, or surprise of the game comes when it is revealed who’s knocking. Some are amazed  at the twist on the answer.

Just the same, someone is still knocking, and it is no game, joke, twist, or surprise. It is Jesus. He stands at our door, knocking. He’s not going to press, push, or break His way in. He will enter when we freely open the door.

My friends, if you haven’t opened to Jesus, you still have opportunity by accepting Him into your heart as Savior. He’s still knocking. What love, joy, and peace that comes when we answer His loving knock! Let Him in today, for the enterance knob is on the inside.

Lord, we pray that we hear and answer your knock. Please enter hearts today.

Please join me:

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Jease…

Jease, who?

JESUS!

“But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep” (St, John 10:2 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for coming into the door of my heart. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

Humanity: Take It for What It’s Worth

 

Humanity-Matters

“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Matthew 23:11 KJV).  In considering our social, moral, and spiritual climate, and those affected by hurricane Harvey, I’m moved to share this poem on HUMANITY.

Some people have big hearts, and some have no heart at all. Some people have big homes, yet they live alone. Some people are rich with poor health. Some can’t get out of bed, without others to help.

Some people don’t worry about how they will pay a bill. Yet others are not sure what will be their next meal. Some people are so brave. Still others are afraid. Some people have good health, with no wealth. Some people are poor in spirit without having much.

Some people have a lot and refuse to give a cent. Others live better than you and I, and some can’t. Thanking God we all have one thing in common… we are all “human” and we need each other. Anytime, we may find ourselves needing a helping hand. Let’s reach out in prayer, and if possible, share a good deed throughout this land.

Take it for what it’s worth, and be thankful. We are living better than most, and not bad as some. Don’t try to save a penny on every penny; show some gratitude and share one.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (Hebrews 6:10 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for the opportunity to make a difference in somebody’s life. by Hetistine Washington / keeponthanking.com.

Something to Thank About from A to Z

Thanking God Almighty

“The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea” (Psalm 93:4 KJV). Why not begin each day thanking God for having all might? He is the God Almighty; there is no other.

We thank Him for being the absolute authority, invincible, omnipotent, and supreme God. We praise Him for being all wise, all good, all powerful, and all loving supplying our every need.

God stands in His omnipotence and sovereignty, waiting for us to hand Him our heavy load. As Scripture declares, “For there is nothing too hard for our Lord.” “Casting all your care on him for he cares for you.”

We have the assurance our God is more than able to bear whatever is too heavy for us. He is mighty in power and mighty in strength. He is able to handle everything that comes our way. We are totally secure in His hand.

In God, I will keep on thanking Him because, God is more than able to carry my load.  God, the Almighty, we say, “thank you.”

God is not only our ALL IN ALL and our BLESSER, He’s also our Intercessor; not only our COMFORTER and DELIVERER, He’s our Healer. He’s not only EVERLASTING, and God the FAITHFUL, He’s also the One in whom we’re most grateful. He’s not only our GUIDER, He’s also our Provider.

He’s not only our HELPER and ILLUMINATOR, He’s our JUSTIFIER and Sin Obliterator. He’s not only our KEEPER and the LIGHT, He’s the one who loves with all His might.

He’s not only our MASTER and the NEVER-ENDING GOD, He’s King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He’s not only OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, and OMNISCIENT, He’s the Almighty God All Sufficient. He’s not only PATIENT and kind, He’s the QUIETNESS that calms our spirit and soothes our mind.

He’s not only our ROCK and our SALVATION. He’s the Counselor and Governor of every nation. He’s not only our TEACHER and UNFAILING LOVER. He’s our Friend like no other. He’s not only VICTOR over sin and death, He’s the only WAY to eternal happiness. He’s not only the X-RAY OF LIFE, He is our YOKE RELEASER, our Lord Jesus Christ. He’s not only our ZEST FOR LIVING, He is God, who never stops giving.

“I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower” (Psalm18:2 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for who He is.   By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

What Shall I Do, Lord?

 

Matt-LostConfusedCrossroad

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:8). Many tend to asked this question at the crossroad of their life, what shall I do, Lord? Sometimes when a major decision has to be made, or when one has tried and tried, and failed again and again, they will seek an answer to that very question?

Yes, God said for us to ask, seek, and knock.  Most people will give you their opinion on what to do, but the ultimate answer can only come from God. Look to Him. Go ahead. Let’s ask our Father, “What shall I do, Lord?”

If we’re feeling lost, confused, worried, distressed, unsure, or anxious, ask God about it. He’s there with a “ready-made” solution. We don’t have to wait until we experience a big, major, or enormous problem. Any issue that troubles our mind is worth asking God about. He knows what we need to do. Ask Him.

“And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do” (Acts 22:10 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for His instruction.
