Acts 22:14 - "Then he said, "The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see The Righteous One, and to hear His voice."

I absolutely love Bible verses like the one that we will review today. They are instant reminders of the unparalleled blessings that we as Christians have been not just chosen ; but actually appointed to be blessed with.

Just reading those very words gives me pause (stops me in my tracks) and directs me to say Thank You LORD God Almighty and Thank You Jesus.

Today's Bible verse describes what The Apostle Paul is being told by a man named Ananias. It's important to note that this is not the same Ananias who dropped dead instantly as a result of lying to God in Acts chapter 5. Ananias was a fairly common name in Biblical times.

The Ananias of today's Scripture reading is telling Paul that God has appointed him (Paul) to know God's will and to see The Righteous One (Jesus Christ) ; and also to hear His (Jesus's) voice.

It might sound as if Ananias was conveying to Paul events that would happen in the future. The Truth is, some of the events that Ananias was speaking of had already happened.......

Prior to Paul's arrival in Damascus, where he would meet Ananias, Paul was literally blinded by a bright light from Heaven. The reason why ? The simplest explanation is that Jesus wanted to get Paul's attention.

Paul was the most dangerously determined persecutor of Christians in his time ; but it was part of God's plan that Paul would eventually write approximately two thirds of what would later become our New Testament of The Bible.

The start of that "conversion" process began with a light from Heaven blinding Paul ; and that event set in motion the fulfillment of the first part of today's Bible verse. God had begun the process of revealing to Paul what is His (God's) will.

That process continued when Jesus Himself ("The Righteous One", spoken of in today's Bible verse) spoke to Paul in Acts 9:4-6 ; immediately after Paul was blinded.

That actualized the final portion of today's Scripture where it is stated that Paul will "hear His (Jesus's) voice."

Now for the second event that Ananias told Paul would happen. Paul is told that he will "... see "The Righteous One" (Jesus Christ.) That, at the moment that Ananias related it to Paul, was a future event.

After being blinded on the road to Damascus, Paul could only hear the voice of Jesus. Then while in Damascus, Paul was healed of his blindness by God's grace as worked through Ananias (Acts 9:18).

So did Paul actually see Jesus Christ ; "The Righteous One" ?
The answer to that question is revealed in Galatians 1:12 where Paul declares that he received The Gospel "by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Jesus Himself revealed the Gospel to Paul.

As it was with Paul ; so too it is with us. When The Lord has a goal, and we are part of the process of that goal being attained ; The Lord will do whatever it takes to get our attention.

As I recall, Jesus has done that more than once in my life (got my attention ; but not by blinding me) and the attention getting events worked as designed. Every. Single. Time.

God has appointed (chosen out from among the vast quantity of people who He did not choose) you and I, just as God appointed the Apostle Paul to be a specific part of His (God's) plan.

We may not have been literally blinded, and then had our sight restored, but I'm sure that we could all recall events in our life that had the effect of commanding our attention ; and ultimately changing the course of our life.

God's purpose in doing that is to either acquaint or reacquaint us with God's will for our life. As for physically seeing The Righteous One (Jesus Christ) that too will happen.......

Either we will be promoted to Heaven (where we will see Jesus) upon the completion of our journey on this earth ; or.......

Jesus will return to this earth while we are still here. Immediately thereafter ; we are on our way to our eternal home in Heaven itself. Oh yes ; and with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by our side.

Finally, with regard to our hearing the voice of Jesus Christ ; that too has happened, and will continue to happen. Whenever The Holy Spirit guides us with His wisdom ; that is The Holy Spirit of Christ.

At those moments, we are not audibly hearing the actual voice of Jesus ; but He is that voice within us that we only hear within the privacy and sanctity of our mind.

LORD, it is impossible for me to find the words to properly thank You for the blessings of being appointed and chosen by You to be able to learn what is Your Sacred will.

I thank You also for blessing me with hearing and eventually seeing The Righteous One, Your Son, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I will keep my Spiritual ears open as I listen for His "voice" in the form of The Holy Spirit ; and I look forward to the day that I will see Jesus in person.

On that blessed day, my promotion to Heaven from this world will be fully realized. A glorious day indeed. --- Pastor Tom🙏

1 Corinthians 15:2 - "By which you are also being saved if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Apart from that, you have believed in vain."

Salvation. Being Spiritually "Saved". Saved from an eternal and agonizing existence in hell ; and being blessed with residing in Heaven ; where unknown blessings await.

Today's Bible verse will speak of our eternal salvation, the terms by which we can retain that salvation ; and The Judge of our compliance with those terms.

I pray with every fiber of my being that The Holy Spirit impresses upon you the critical importance of today's blessing from God's word as found in the Holy Bible ; just as He did upon me.

The Apostle Paul clearly and without reservation or hesitation declares that a key factor with regard to our salvation is that it is absolutely not a "one and done" proposition.

One can not simply say that they have read the Bible, believe every word of it's contents ; and then walk away from that to live "their" life however they choose ; which could include knowingly disobeying every commandment ever recorded in the Bible (over 600 of them) over the course of the rest of their lives.

You "could" actually do that ; but, simply stated ; IF you reject the words, will and ways of The LORD God Almighty, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.......

Then you are not "holding firmly to the word", as The Apostle Paul describes in today's Bible verse. In point of fact ; you're not "holding firmly to the word" at all.

If we only say "Ya, I believe what The Bible says....." but actually reject what The Bible says by the way we order (or perhaps disorder) our state of being.......

Then according to The Word of God as found in today's verse ; we are not saved. Another way to look at it would be like this.......

Let's say that you apply and are accepted to work somewhere. The employer agrees to pay you a wage that you both agree on ; and you agree to perform certain tasks as directed by your employer.

Again ; you agreed to those terms during the interview process, and you were hired at the moment that you agreed.

Now let's say that at some point in time after you have been working for your employer, you decide that it would make your life a whole lot easier and a whole lot more fun if you still received a paycheck from your employer ; but didn't do the work that you had previously agreed to do.

Your employer might ; MIGHT I say, let that slide for a VERY short period of time, but it wouldn't be long before your employment with your employer was terminated.

Employers are not in the habit of paying for services that are not being provided. In short, you're fired from your job.

The pay you received from your employer ? Gone.
The benefits (vacation time, sick time, personal time, health insurance, etc.) that you used to enjoy ? Gone.
The retirement pay that you were looking forward to receiving after working for the employer until you were old enough to receive retirement pay ? Gone.

Every positive aspect of your employment that you once enjoyed is now nothing more than a memory. All of that ended when you violated the terms of your employment. The terms that both you and your now former employer both agreed to.

What the Apostle Paul is saying in today's Bible verse is similar in nature to the example of an employer / employee relationship ; however.......

The losses one would incur as an employee who broke their agreement with their employer would be microscopic in comparison to the greatest possible loss we could engineer in our own lives ; that being the loss of our salvation.

The loss of our job would result in us trying to find another employer ; but if we experience the revocation of our salvation .......... well, let's just say that promotion to Heaven would no longer be an option ; but a demotion to hell would be an absolute certainty.

Just as "agreeing to the terms" of our salvation is not a one time transactional agreement ; neither does falling short of the terms of that agreement one or more times necessarily result in the invalidation and nullification of our salvation. Oh how the devil would love for that to be true.......

That's actually one of his most tried, most insidious methods of operation. The devil will watch and wait for us to make a mistake, which is sometimes described in The Bible as sin.

What happens at the moment that we fall short of perfection (which in my case happens with such frequency that an entire team of Heavenly accountants must be employed, in order to tally up the total number of times) ?

At that moment, the devil moves in and whispers "Oh now you've done it. You've violated the agreement. You're not saved anymore. No point in even trying to serve that Jesus guy now. What's the point ? You made a mistake. You're not getting into Heaven now........"

That type of "sewage speak" is why John 8:44 rightly testifies about the devil that there is NO truth in him, he is a liar, and he is the father of lies.

Any time that the devil attempts to influence our thinking, our best defense is to counter attack with The word of God, which in today's Bible verse, Paul tells us to hold on to as if our salvation depends on it ; because it does.

Think on this : Jesus' salvation was never in question, but that didn't stop the devil from attempting to influence Him anyway.

When that attempt happened, as recorded in Matthew chapter 4, verses 1-11 ; Jesus defended against the devil's attempts by quoting the word of God.

Our own defense should be just as immediate and reflexive. Begin with "It is written....." and watch as the cowardly liar that is the devil departs in defeat.

I recently defended The Bible's position on a certain social matter by beginning my retort with those exact three words ; "It is written."

The one debating God's opinion on the social matter was left speechless. Just like the devil was when Jesus spoke those same three words to him.

To conclude, today's Bible verse declares the Truth that if we reject the word of God that we once held to and protected with love and gratitude .........

Well that's not an "if" that any sane person would even entertain bringing into their lives for any period of time.

That term right there ; "period of time", is THE point on which the entirety of today's Bible verse rests. And by "point", I mean to say that the exact center of today's verse rests on the "peak" of the concept of precisely how long we have let go of our desire to retain the word of God.

Another factor is whether we simply let the word of God slip from our grasp, or whether we actively and knowingly rejected the word of God, thus throwing it away with great force.

The essence of today's Scripture reading is that The LORD God Almighty, the Creator and Master of the entire universe, is THE Judge.

The Judge of whether the sin of letting the words of God go from our life, either willfully or not, is of a magnitude or a duration of time which in His estimation warrants the termination of our salvation.

As James 4:12 rightly declares - "There is only one lawgiver and judge, one able to save, and to destroy....."

Our salvation is not something where we "say the magic words" once, and we're covered for life, even if we decide to go on to live one of the most vile, God opposed lives ever recorded.

Neither is our salvation going to be revoked for something so trivial as the fact that we wore white after Labor Day.

There are however, terms of our salvation, and the only Inspector and Evaluator of those terms is God Himself.

Suddenly, I'm reminded of a line from a popular Spiritually themed song from some years ago...... "I cry out to God, seeking only His decision." I'm right there with you my Brother.

With regard to my continued salvation, I can rest my head on my pillow each night knowing that my eternal fate, my eternal future, has been paid for in full by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I can also sleep in perfect peace knowing that my compliance with the terms of that salvation (Faith in the words, will and ways of both God Almighty and His Son, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ) is being reckoned by The most righteous and fair Judge in the history of the world ; The Lord God Almighty.

Thank You Jesus and thank You LORD ; for Your payment for my salvation ; and for Your judgement of my obedience (or lack thereof) to the terms of that most blessed and precious salvation. --- Pastor Tom🙏

Romans 8:24 - "For in this hope we were saved ; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they can already see ?"

Today's Scripture perfectly describes the process of the priceless Salvation that Christians have availed themselves of. Firstly, it's important to review where we once were, as compared to where we are now ; and also where we ultimately want to be.

It's critical first to understand that today's Bible verse is not saying that we are saved by hope. The Bible is exceedingly clear that we are saved by Faith (Ephesians 2:8).

What today's Bible verse is saying however, is that we were in a state of "hope" when we were saved (by Faith.) Before we became saved, we were in a state of being which can best be described as a state of "hope."

We couldn't say with rock solid conclusiveness that there was "something more" than just knowing about the fact that there is a God ; and He is ultimately in charge of everything ; but we "hoped" that there was more to it than that.

Thus began the process of our eventual salvation. God knew what we did or didn't know ; and our hope was, at that point, exactly what God was looking for from us.

God wasn't looking for us to make bold professions of Faith based on Biblical facts and concepts that we didn't yet know even existed.

From that point forward, while we were still in that state of hope ; The Holy Spirit began to present Biblical Truths and concepts to us at a pace which was..... perfect.

The Holy Spirit's pace was perfect because the pace was particularly customized and personalized to each of us ; and it was based on what we knew, as well as what we needed to know.

That process continued for as long as necessary ; and at some point, our hope gradually became our Faith. Once our hope becomes our Faith, it is shortly thereafter that there is a moment that will change our life forever.......

We become "born again" from our previous state of being (before we may have even thought about the concept of Spiritual "hope") to a state of being where we put our full Faith, as well as the entirety of our life, in the Sacred care of Jesus Christ.

From that moment on, for us, Faithing is no longer an unknown concept ; but a part of every fiber of our being. We. Are. Saved.

As declared in today's Scripture ; at the very moment that we became saved, we were in a state of "hope."

We were in a state of hope because we had yet to have our Spiritual "sight" activated so as to see beyond what we were hoping for.

If we had seen something to hope for, it would no longer qualify as hoping. As today's Scripture also asks "Who hopes for what they can already see ?"

Think of it this way......... You can hope that you don't get terminated from your job tomorrow ; but once your workday is done, and you're in your car on the way home ; you don't need to "hope" anymore. You have kept your job for another day. You have already seen that blessing happen.

Or what if you're a woman, and you're dating the man of your dreams. It's been a few months ; and things are going great.......

Suddenly, the man that you're dating says "I've really fallen in love with you, and I can't see my life without you in it. Will you give me the honor and the blessing of marrying me ?" From then on, you won't have to hope that he'll marry you. You already know that he will. Is it necessary to hope ? Nope.

Lord, I thank You for the priceless blessings of hope and Faith. They are two blessings which are part of the foundation on which my life rests. That foundation is solid, immovable, and impenetrable ; all by Your oh so amazing grace. --- Pastor Tom🙏

Micah 6:12 - "For the impious wealthy (from the city) are full of violence ; and the inhabitants thereof speak lies, and their tongues are deceitful in their mouths."

Violence, lies, and deceit. Three hallmarks of all too many cities all around the world. With regard to that reality, today's selection from The Scriptures is something of a comfort by means of a confirmation.......

If you think that a certain city (whichever that city may be for you) appears to be a place where the politically connected rich and powerful spend most of their time creating the conditions for violence, lies, and deceit ; you're probably not wrong.

While Micah 6:12 was written in reference to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; Micah 6:12 also describes many cities all around the world.

The cities may be epicenters for rich and powerful people who were either elected or dubiously installed to rule and reign as if they were God Himself. They are not ; and there is evidence.

Three of the chief reasons are violence, lies, and deceit. Oftentimes, the rulers of this world obtain and then retain their power by means of violence, lies, and deceit. God however, uses none of those three things.

Those leaders in the corrupt cities who use violence, lies, and deceit like a fish uses water (as a means of survival) view God as a type of "competitor." What they fail to understand is that God competes with no one.

We are at a crossroads of choices unlike any that I have ever seen in my lifetime. In countries, cities, small towns, and even workplaces ; we have before us only two choices.

We can choose to sit in cowardly silence and obey every diabolical whim of the violent and deceitful liars ; or we can review and reflect on our own imperfections ; and then repent of those imperfections. And then.......

From there, we need simply to either dedicate, or rededicate ourselves to allowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ total access and control over our lives. Anyone or anything that attempts to get us to worship them should be dealt with accordingly. Immediately, and without apology.

LORD ; we thank you for Your continued and unparalleled patience, guidance, and wisdom as we navigate the sea of choices in our life.

There will be no shortage of people and organizations that demand ( by way of violence, lies, and deceit) that we "choose" them.

As for me and my house ; we ignore them, and we choose You Lord. We also choose Your Holy Spirit, as well as Your Son ; our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every second, of every moment, of every day. --- Pastor Tom🙏

1 Corinthians 15:1 - "Now Brothers, I want to remind you, to a greater depth, of the Gospel I preached to you, which you received ; and in which you stand firm."

To Be reminded of something ; but to also simultaneously be taught to a more precise degree than when you were first taught what you're now being reminded of. That is the incredible blessing that today's Bible verse reveals to us.

To be taught something, then reminded of it later on, and during the course of being reminded ; to be taught a depth of details greater than when you were first taught. That is the greatest method of teaching. Incremental excellence exemplified.

That is the method that the Apostle Paul was using (by means of The Holy Spirit) to teach the Corinthians ; and that is also the method by which The Holy Spirit teaches us.

The Holy Spirit teaches us, at first, slowly ; giving us the perfect amount of information that we can process and retain.

Then as time goes on, and we become more Spiritually mature ; The Spirit will impart to us more detailed information about that which He had previously taught us.

To give us every bit of information all at one time, with the multiple layers of informational Truth that comes with it, would result in an information overload that would likely leave us feeling as if we'll never understand any of it.

It would kind of be like teaching someone every detail about how to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble an automobile. All at once. Taking time out for meals and sleeping of course.......

The point is that the person being taught would have an enormous pile of information that they would most likely not have the ability to initially understand.

The final portion of today's Scripture is essential toward improving our state of being. "In which you stand firm."

The Gospel that the Apostle Paul taught the Corinthians, which is the same Gospel that The Holy Spirit teaches us ; is where we should "stand firm.", immovable and steadfast.

No matter what challenges and turbulence life brings our way ; as long as we stand firm in The Truth of The Gospel, we may be shaken, but never totally destroyed.

And as The Spirit just reminded me ; as we stand firm in The Gospel, The LORD God Almighty, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are with and within us. Internally, externally, and eternally.

Thank You LORD, Holy Spirit, and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the blessed gift of The Gospel. On it and within it I will stand ; with You within and with me.

Thank You also for the finest and most complete "continuing education" found anywhere on this earth.

As I stand firm in The Gospel, I commit to also take heed when I stand, lest I should fall. (1 Corinthians 10:12)

Finally, I pray to always heed The Holy Spirit's reminders to be wearing the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13) when I stand firm in The Gospel, as well as at all other times. The Holy Spirit's reminders are part of what keeps my being....... "being." --- Pastor Tom 🙏

Romans 13:11 TDT - "Know this ; now is the time and the hour to awake from deep Spiritually torporous sleep ; for our salvation is nearer now than when we first Faithed."

As always ; whenever The Bible has a specific term or terms to describe how we as Christians should "be" ; modern day society will hijack that term and twist it into a perversion of what God originally intended the term to convey.

Such is the case with the true and original concept of being "woke" as found in today's selection of Scripture.

If today's Bible verse had to be summarized in just two words, those two words would be "Get woke !" That's the general theme being presented in today's Scripture.

Romans 13:11 tells us to wake from our sleep ; but the Greek language which the New Testament was originally written in communicates to us something much deeper and more detailed.

The more accurate Greek language version of our text reveals that we, like the Christians in Rome that the Apostle Paul was writing to (may ?) have fallen into the same type of sleep that animals do when they are hibernating for the winter.

We aren't physically (or in our case, Spiritually) in danger, as our state of being (physical as well as Spiritual) is being sustained and supported as a result of previous Spiritual decisions made.

Romans 13:11 warns us of a type of Spiritual sleep where our salvation isn't in jeopardy ; but we are in such a deep state of Spiritual unawareness that it resembles the state of unawareness of animals when they are hibernating for the winter.

Physically, a hibernating animal is in a state of being called "torpor." While in this state, animals' breathing rate and heart rate are reduced so as to conserve energy. The capacity of function of the creature's mind is also greatly reduced.

And therein lies the message that the Apostle Paul was delivering to the Christians in Rome ; and the message that The Holy Spirit (by means of Paul) is expressing to us today.

We should examine our Spiritual state of being with the goal being to assess whether we are fully awake (woke) Spiritually ; or if we have become a bit tired (weary), sleepy (not paying attention). Or.......

If we quite possibly may have fallen into a Spiritual state of torpor ("alive" Spiritually ; but almost catatonic in our state of being).

No one knows us better than we do ; excepting of course for The LORD God Almighty and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

With that being said, we should take every opportunity and make every effort to examine our Spiritual state of being in an unbiased and unprejudiced manner.

Our "self" will no doubt want us to cut ourself some slack. When that happens, I'll tell my self to take a seat on the shelf.

The reason that the Apostle Paul is warning us to "get woke" from any Spiritual apathy and inactivity that we may have fallen into is because, as Paul states in today's Scripture, "our salvation is nearer now then when we first Faithed."

That salvation is none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His return to this earth has never been more inevitably impending.

When we first put our life in the sacred care of Jesus Christ (put our Faith in, or "Faithed" in Him) He was (and remains) with and within us ; and now His promised return is closer than it has ever been.

Lord, I pray that when You return to this earth to call us Home to Heaven, that I am in no way in a Spiritual state of torpor ; existing, but not paying the least bit of attention. With each passing day, I pray for Your return with more passion and fervency.

This world is absolutely not my Home ; but Lord, I will endeavor to serve You with focus and dedication as I wait in Faith for Your arrival ; which will set in motion the most joyous journey ; the ultimate destination being Heaven itself.

Thank You Lord for that priceless blessing. --- Pastor Tom 🙏

Habakkuk 1:6 - "For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans ; that bitter and hastily impetuous nation that marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwelling places that are not their own."

There will be times in our lives when things could be better ; and they could also be worse ; but we have learned to adapt to "the way things are."

Then, without warning, our life is vehemently disrupted by people who were previously not concerned with you at all. This is precisely what happened in today's segment from Scripture.

Today's Scripture has the capability to be more than just a snapshot of history ; if we recognize it to be.

As it was in the time of Habakkuk ; so too it is in "the now", the times in which we presently live. In Habakkuk's time, Israel was existing in a manner which The LORD was clearly opposed to. To put it mildly, sins were being committed.

When the "sin level" reached the point where The LORD would tolerate no more ; He did something about it.

More to the point ; The LORD "raised up" the Chaldeans to evict and eject The Israelites from the land and homes which they were inhabiting.

Fast forward to present times. A large segment of mankind has largely "gone into business for themselves", or done what they wanted, when they wanted ; despite God's clearly stated guidance and direction to the contrary.

Just as in the times of Habakkuk ; God has allowed some of the more diabolically devious members of our society (many of which are politicians and judges ; but I digress) to control the God given rights and liberties of others ; just like God allowed the Chaldeans to control the land and houses of the Israelites.

The Israelites lost their land and their homes ; and many of us have lost countless amounts of our Freedoms.......

We used to enjoy the Freedom of speech. Now, you have to watch every word that you say ; lest someone becomes "offended".

For thousands of years, we were able to sing praises to Jesus in our churches. In recent history, many modern day "Chaldeans" took that blessing away from us. "Oh, you can't sing in church ; you "might" have a disease which "may or may not" be able to be transmitted by singing !"

In the future, people may read what I just wrote and think that I'm joking. Sadly, I am not. The prohibition against singing in church may not be in effect anymore, but there is absolutely no guarantee that the powers that (shouldn't) be won't bring it back when they manufacture another disease.

Sadly ; one of the greatest blessings that we've lost is the blessing of having control over our own bodies with regard to how we decide to keep ourselves healthy and sickness free.

It used to be that we could take whatever precautions that we thought were necessary with regard to our health and well being ; and Faithe that God would ultimately protect us from debilitating diseases.

That was then ; this is now. Now, employers have been granted the "right" to dictate that you have to inject a cocktail of highly questionable chemicals into your body if you want to remain one of their employees. So much for "My body ; my choice."

Those same employers were given the "right" to dictate that you wear an ineffective mask while you are at work. The masks are highly effective however, at stopping you from getting a fresh air intake by inhaling ; and then exhaling that which your body rejects, such as allergens.

Again I say ; beware, because what employers have done in the past, they will be all too eager to do in the future.

It's all for the "greater good" they'll say. Just like the ancient times Roman Emperor Antiochus "Theo" (God) Epiphanes ; they will benevolently say "Oh, you can follow the Faith of your Christianity any way you like. Unless, that is, how you Faithe is in direct conflict with any of my dictatorial edicts."

"If that happens ; you just set your Faith aside and worship me ; errr, uhhhh....... I mean you just have to follow what I tell you to do. We can't have your Faith making anyone else..... "uncomfortable."

What is going on currently in our society has a direct correlation with what happened in the time of Habakkuk.

Mankind has reached the point of sin where God has had enough, and strange as it may seem, God is allowing us to experience unprecedented unrest and disturbance in our life.

For what reason ? So that we will repent. That simply means to begin by taking inventory of our state of being as well as the orientation of our Godward journey through this life.

If we discover (which we will ; it just depends on to what degree) that we have strayed from The Way that God wants us to be ; we should change our way of thinking first ; and then our way of "being." That is the essence of repentance.

I've already begun my self inventory and inspection of "the way" that I should be, and as it should be, that inspection / analysis will be an ongoing process.

"Good enough" should never be good enough. I can always do better ; and more importantly, "be" better. And I shall endeavor to do so.

God The Father ; I pray that as I seek to discover areas and methods to improve my state of being, and that I recognize and heed the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.

His guidance and wisdom are perpetually without flaw, and will illuminate The Way which I should be following at all times.

I offer these prayers in the name of Your Son ; my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. --- Pastor Tom 🙏
