Thoughts for Life: Reveal The Truth

How often do you share the gifts you hole in trust to you
How often is God's handiwork revealed in what you do
How often does another see reflections of God's Son
Those moments when the world can see that you and Christ are one

How often do you walk a path not knowing where it goes

Just following that little voice that daily seems to grow

A little louder little larger settled in your mind

That soon you'll hold the answers to the questions that you'll find

Have been back in the recesses of your humanity

As you've observed the miracles of creativity

Unfolding right before you when you open up your eyes

When lessons of God's mighty truth before your conscience rise

To places of great prominence as more and more you see

That so much of what God has made hide in obscurity

From lessons taught and lessons learned from childhood until now

As He Who is Almighty God prepares to show you how

Important what He's showing you is to the world at large

Those proofs that prove beyond all doubt that He is still in charge

And though the world may hate you for the Truth you make them see

That Truth is what empowers you for all eternity

With grace revealed through love you share with others that you meet

Who see in you that presence that draws them to Jesus' feet

As more and more the Truth you share that cannot be denied

No longer is by worldly men the Truth that they can hide

For God has shone through ages past when needed He will do

The work that He's designed before be done by me and you

But always to the loss of those He's called to be His voice

When they have chosen not to make His will for them their choice

So this time if you've had revealed what few on earth can see

Don't hide those facts God shares with you in dark obscurity

But ask Him to make clear to you where He would have you go

And place in you His Spirit's voice to let all others know

That God is God He holds the reigns on all that's soon to be

And only those who trust Him now will live eternally

Because they want more than the rest to hear His words of praise

As they make clear His living Truth for these uncertain days

Psalm 19:1-6; John 14:6

Reveal The Truth

Lee Forbes

Let's pray-

Father, we are trusting You to help us reflect Your Son in and through our lives. As we follow Your Spirit's guidance daily, may we listen more carefully in order to grow stronger in our faith.

Enable us to obey Your call on our lives, to share Your Truth as You lead us to. May we be willing to share with others the evidence that You're in charge, and that You are God, no matter what others may say.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen

Words from God the Father
By Dave Roberson Ministries
Our weekly word from the Father

You Are the One I Am Waiting For

"Be mindful of this one thing: You are the one I am waiting for. I am Your Father, and I am the One who has the help and strength you need for every step of your life in Me."

1 John 3:1 "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him."

Today's quote-

Holiness

Holiness: what can it be?
And is Christ’s holiness for me?
Dear blood-washed child of the living God,
This is the way believers must trod;
Sanctified, and set free to be
As Jesus Christ, our Surety.
♢
Holiness: a wonderful thing,
Surrendering all to Jesus my King.
Dying to self, my soul takes its flight
To new heights of glory, beauty, and light.
All is in Christ; my heart is at rest.
Christ is my all; I’m happy and blessed.
♢
Holiness: just what does it mean,
To be virtuous, pure, and clean?
To love this One Whom I’ve never seen;
Walk with Him and His friend be,
And always with Him to agree,
Bending my heart in harmony?
♢
Holiness: God’s will wrought through me,
That others, through me, Christ’ beauty may see.
He takes me first as a piece of clay;
With loving devotion, He molds me each day;
God using the Word, Christ’s image to trace,
A vessel of honor, reflecting His grace.

James H. Cagle

Words of wisdom-

~ As Christmas is soon to come again, let's celebrate it this year by giving some of our things we value, things that mean a lot to us. What joy it will be to share ourselves with family and friends, as that's what our Father God did. His gift is priceless, as it came to us from His heart. His very self. As our gifts mean a lot to us, may they bring pleasure to those we love, too.

From War to Joy on Christmas

Daniel Darling shares with us, “I realize gospel-centered Christianity is increasingly becoming marginalized. I get that.

But when it comes to Christmas, I think most of the outrage expressed by Christians is misguided at best and manufactured at worst."

located in the St. Lawrence county of NY,

broadcast their Sunday services at 10 or 10:15.
