HOLIDAY, BLACK FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND TODAY!

ByDr. Mark December 1, 2024 0 Comments
The title mentions four days, three of which have passed, and one that is right now. We call it “Today!” I don’t have an alluring, attention grabbing story. All I have is the word inspired by the Almighty! Yes, it is profitable! Read it!  Reflect seriously on it! Respond appropriately to it!  Rejoice, today!  Be blessed! Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with...

YOUR POST-HOLIDAY WALK

“For what thanks can we offer to God for you in return for all the joy and delight we have before our God on your account?” (I John 1:9 NASB) Thursday, and even Wednesday if you were one of the Thanksgiving meal preparers, you tasted the food, and it was ever so good.  Let me express it another way, widen the circle, in order to connect with the title above.  Thursday, many...

THE DAY AFTER

“Giving thanks is the sacrifice that honors me, and I will surely save all who obey me.” (Psalm 50:23 Good News Translation) What will you do on this Friday, the day after Thanksgiving?  Will you run to the mall?  Will you be a fixture in front of the TV watching athletic events!  Will your mind switch from eating to gifting, or more likely getting?  Will all the goodness you mentioned...

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.” (Psalm 9:1 English Standard Version) First, let me wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and express my hope that today will be a time where you realize how blessed you are and let me add that I hope you express your gratitude to the Lord for all He has done for you since the last Thanksgiving Day. ...

REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT JAM?

ByDr. Mark November 23, 2022 0 Comments
Do you remember the time you were in that jam, a real pickle of a circumstance or situation.  Did you call of the Lord?  And then, if you did, did you thank Him for coming to your rescue?  You should have! Today, in between your work in the kitchen, your errand to pick up an item at the grocery that you forgot, or right before you take you nap before laboring in the kitchen, learn...

THANK GOD FOR ANOTHER CHANCE…TODAY

ByDr. Mark November 22, 2022 0 Comments
“Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough.” (Matthew 5:37 Modern English Version) Last Wednesday, our church successfully fed 120 homeless people, downtown, outside in the dark and the cold.  This missionary endeavor would not have turned out so well without our members keeping their word or shall we say keeping their promises to do some part of what...

THANK HIM THAT IT ALL WORKS OUT!

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28 NASB) My fellow believer, on this Monday morning, a few days before “Thanksgiving,” thank God for the certainty expressed in the verse above.  For us and for our loved ones, it all works out for good.  “All” includes the trials and...

FIVE WORDS

“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.  This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” (I John 4:9-10 NLT) Last week I wrote a meditation that had a word count of close to 800 words.  I like reading all the responses I receive...
