Come to Jesus

I was a wretch undone living in a world of sin had no hope had no peace within but somebody told me, they told me what Jesus did how He gave His life died for my sin now i'm justified, i'm santified, I'll glorify His Holy name. Just come to Jesus do it right now.
If you come to him He'll set you free. If you come to Him He'll give you hope....

Come to Jesus rings in my ear from 2009 to 2010.Year 2009 was very off balanced for me. I guess it takes a while to get adjusted to new places, people,and things. Now that I think back to then all I had to do was truly come to Jesus. Everything wither sucess or trial. Before I thought of it as a invitation for the unbeliever that has proved me to be wrong by a sermon I heard recently. This to is for me the born again believer. So this year I have no resolution just a friendly reminder for my weary soul. Come to Jesus and do it right now. So if you would firmly yet friendly but not self-rightously remind me to Come to Jesus. I will by the help of the Holy Spirit encourage you to do the same.

Thinking on the night shift

When I'm on the night shift I have so much more time to think. Some would say too much time to think (12Hr shift). Many things I ponder are about the Lord. I am often amazed at Him and His Glory. I was thinking tonight just how great He is and how the testimony of His greatness that I can cling to is that from the scriptures and what He has done in my life and what He continues to do. It has to take the saving power of Jesus to keep me. Often I feel the power of sin trying to redeem itself but the Jesus that saved me, defeats the power of sin from reigning. Whereas when I was lost in my trespasses and sin there was no fight. Sunday, I believe it was Sunday PK that's my pastor, he was explaining how God was the Christian's shield.He expanded the definition by saying he is our buckle. You know like a belt buckle that hold your belt that holds your bottoms. He supported it by Scripture's from the Psalms. Like Psalms 3:3,5:12,7:10,18:2,30,35. My favorite being Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. So praise be to God for the life has been created in me and how he continues to be my shield and hold my life together. For He desires to be that to all men. Who reject the ways of the flesh and cling to the ways of Jesus Christ. To think and think about the Lord provokes me praise to Him. For my old thoughts were encompass by ways to praise me. So I'll continue to sit back and ponder the things of God. Until He shows Himself faithful and rises the sun in the morning, also the end of my shift. Think about the things of the Lord..........
Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Expectation for your Life

This book was great! Bruchko by Bruce Olson. A friend of mine recommended this book to me last week on the way to the gym. I brought it home and thought I'll get to that a little later. So I finished the book that I was currently reading and the I began this one. Just a brief overview:Bruce Olson a nineteen year old young man. Set sail to impact a tribe in South America. He faced disease, terror, loneliness, kidnapping and torture. But what he experience has has a major impact on the missions world. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. The main reason was the main character walked in faith time after time. I wanted to continuously see how he was able to make it through trial after trial. Hint:Obeying the Lord was his secret. There where many times he wanted to get give up but he pressed on. That what I needed to here. So though this book was a true story based on events that occurred 40 years ago, its still applicable today. I must tell you of one of the latter chapters that caught my attention the most. It was a discussion based on Philippians. One Character asked the other" Is Jesus Christ the expectation for you in your life? Really? Just as it did the character it had the same effect on me. It stop me short....and caused me to ponder, and reconsider some of my expectations!
