FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT. Unbeliever...you are no accident either A. Nothing is hidden. Psalm 139:1-12 1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! 7 I can never escape from Your Spirit! I can never get away from Your presence! 8 If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I go down to the grave, You are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there Your hand will guide me, and Your strength will support me. 11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the ...

 PSALM 106:24 The people of God refused to enter into the Promised Land because they wouldn't believe His promises to care for them. How quickly they forgot what He had done. They wouldn't wait for His counsel. THAT can become the lie we swim in as well.  Not only is the world we live in constantly pulling us out of the habit of believing God, for which we were created. The world is trying to condition our souls against finding our way home. We can become deluded to thinking our own finite perspective on life is actually all there is. We stay lost and hopeless. Jesus Christ, alone, is not only our way Home. He IS our true home.

PSALM 12:8 "THE WICKED STRUT ABOUT WHEN WHAT IS VILE IS HONORED BY THEM."

  ISAIAH 26:3 " You will keep in perfect peace  all who trust in you,  all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" Why would anyone fix their mind on God? Well, it's because He alone is eternally faithful, just, merciful and almighty to save and keep. He alone is trustworthy, worthy of us putting the full weight of our lives and existence on Him. He alone can keep us in His perfect peace.

GOD'S WORD God's Word is perfect, trustworthy, right, radiant, pure, unchanging, righteous, mot precious than silver or gold, sweeter than honey, convicting, healing, delivering, eternally true. Psalm 19:1-14 " The instructions of the   Lord   are perfect  reviving the soul.  The decrees of the   Lord   are trustworthy,   making wise the simple.  The commandments of the   Lord   are right,   bringing joy to the heart.  The commands of the   Lord   are clear,   giving insight for living.  Reverence for the   Lord   is pure,  lasting forever.  The laws of the  Lord  are true;  each one is fair.   They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.   How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hid...

 HOW CAN YOU EXPECT "LIGHT" TO EMMINATE FROM DARKNESS? HOW CAN YOU EXPECT INTEGRITY AND JUSTICE TO FLOW FROM LAWLESSNESS? YOU CAN'T. "OUR DOUBTS ARE TRAITORS. THEY WORK TO DISTRACT US FROM GOD'S WORD. THEREBY WE LOSE THE GOOD WE OFT MIGHT WIN BY FEARING TO ATTEMPT." SAID SHAKESPEAR. GOD DOES NOT MAKE US GUESS AT WHO HE IS. HE SPEAKS DIRECTLY, SIMPLY AND PROFOUNDLY TO US IN HIS WORD AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. JESUS ALONE IS THE GIVER AND SUSTAINER OF LIFE.
