Maybe Today 05.05.22

No better way to make sure we take care of ourselves in these MOST crazy times than our gentle reminder we read about in Psalm 46:10.

I love how the NASB (1995 ed.) reads. The Psalmist says,

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Cease in this passage, from the Greek, means to relax, become helpless, forsake, abandon.

WOW!!

So basically it means, abandon our striving.

What is it that you strive for?

What keeps you from being "still" and solely REST upon our Elohim?

As I look at the calm of the picture, may we REST in God’s promises that He is in control.

There is no need to fear or be dismayed. God has got all of His children in the palm of His hand. That is why it is so important to make sure you are SAVED!! Why? Because no matter what, He will continue to prove He is still sitting on His throne and making a way in your everyday life!!

Maybe Today.

If not, until we are called home, let’s cease in our daily striving and begin to live in Christ's promises!!

Days of Noah

Noah’s day… 1,600 years had passed from the time of creation until the flood. If you read the account in Genesis 6 you can see how very bad it was. It is said, the population in Noah's day was around 6 billion people. Everyone lived so long while re-populating the earth. Hence the reason AFTER the flood, God made man’s lifespan 1/8 of what it used to be. Verse 3 in Genesis 6 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years In Noah’s day, you had Nephilites. They were fallen angels who were bred with humans. Genesis 6:4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times Let us see how God felt about humanity... The Lord observed the extent of human...

Hello! It has been a LONG time, 3 months since my last "Maybe Today". I was transitioning jobs and also focusing more on the podcast and other personal issues. I was prompted to write today and discuss false teachers and why the growth spurt seems to be happening all around us. It seems like we hear everyday of someone new shaming the name of Christ or spewing more false doctrine! Just recently, Matt Chandler comes to mind. I could say a lot more on him and other Calvinists but that is for another time. Those who follow the ticking clock of the times we live in, know what 1 Timothy 4:1-3 says. However, Jude 17-18 gives us more insight by saying, But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts . These are the SAME enemies which have entered the church and 2 ...

We all seem to pass right by the first four verses in Luke. We get to the part when our savior, Jesus was born but have you taken time to study out the first four verses? This part seems to be omitted when telling the CHRIST mas story, or as we pagans say, the birth of Christ. Why do we, as followers of Christ, believe that a sinless man came to earth and that His sole purpose was to die on a cross for all the sins of the world. Luke 1:1-4 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught . WOW!! Did you catch it? As Luke penned this to Theophilus, Luke also explained to him that h...
