BEFORE, DOING, AFTER & RIGHT NOW!

ByDr. Mark June 20, 2024 0 Comments
This meditation is something that might be helpful when you experience heavy burdens in the days ahead, or if needed, it may be profitable right now, in the event that you are feeling burdened today. Let the words of the Lord communicated before Christ, doing the time of and after Christ bless you. No entertaining story or analogy this morning, I’ll just let the word of God minister to you...

MY PARAPHRASED VERSE

“Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord .” (Colossians 3:20 The Amplified Bible) As you have noticed, the meditations I have written over the last seven and a half years could possibly be filed in boxes and stored in a small room similar to a company’s records room where they keep paper records for up to seven years before purging. If you...

“Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John the brother of James and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And His appearance changed dramatically in their presence; and His face shone like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, “Lord, it...

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” (James 1:22 NLT Version) This is your Monday Short meditation. It involves a quote from one of the well-known Wyatt Earp movies. Incidentally, I am always amazed that my father, although somewhere when he was between five and six years old, Wyatt Earp was still alive. Isn’t that...

“Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. And the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did...

“God treated me with undeserved grace and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build. (I Corinthians 3:10 Contemporary English Version) Before I start, so that you will not misconstrue what I am about to say, especially after reading the opening verse, know that each one of us who are saved have benefitted from...

“Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; as it is written: “He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor,His righteousness endures forever.” (2...

“The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.” (Psalm 90:10 English Standard Version) I recently was asked what my favorite way was to travel. Here is how I answered the question. As a teenager, when I walked across town to high school, the rare times that I got a ride hitchhiking, that...

AFTER YOU ARE BLESSED FOR BEING A BLESSING

ByDr. Mark June 12, 2024 0 Comments
Today’s meditation is the sequel that I promised to provide after yesterday’s meditation, “Are You Looking For A Blessing,” in which you were challenged by these words, “If you want a blessing, be a blessing.” Confident that you will consult God’s word below, and because it is a long passage, in the eyes of some, unusually long perhaps, but undeniably profitable, I will be concise....
