Words for Your Journey
The Prophet Hosea pointed to a problem the people of Israel had that is common with God’s people today. The people of Israel went to the temple and offered sacrifices, but their hearts were not in it. They were just going through the motions. They did what they thought they were supposed to do, but it didn’t mean anything to them. It became a routine because they felt they had to do it. It is easy for we Christian to be guilty of the same thing—going through the motions—we sing the hymns, pray, give offerings, and listen to the preacher but go away empty. Why? We have forgot the focus of our worship—not the preacher, not our congregation, not even ourselves, but God. We gather to gather on Sunday morning to worship God. That must be our first and foremost reason to show our love for God and secondly our love for our fellow Christians—the greatest of the commandments.

Words for your Journey
We live in troubled times, but I do not remember any time in my three score and twelve years of life that was not troubled. King David was a man who faced many difficult times in his life, but God was his strength and refuge in those time. When faced with an insurmountable problem, David sought the help of God and God was always there for him. Jesus gave us a warning and a message of hope, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” [John 16:33] Facing an impossible problem? Then seek out the one who specializes in the impossible—God--for like the old chorus, “He does the things others cannot do.”

Words for your Journey
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" is a quote from the Bible often cited by politicians and reformers. “And the truth shall make you free” but in the words of Pilate, “What is truth?” [John 18:38] Give the devil his due, Pilate asked the right question, to the right person [Jesus], but Pilate failed in that he did not wait for the answer. We often ask this question “What is truth?” but for the wrong reason [most often seeking to win an argument]. In this passage Jesus was not just speaking of any old truth but the Truth—"Thy word is truth.” [John 17:17] Jesus is the Word of God and if you know Him as Lord then you know the truth and that “Truth” will make you free from the bonds of sin, death, fear and power of Satan. The one who knows the LORD is free indeed and that is the TRUTH.

Words for your Journey
It is so easy to believe we are in control and our plans are sure and firm—we have set our course, and nothing can stop us from sailing into our port of success. I had my plans made for today, but a nest of yellow jackets embedded in the porch of our home changed my plans for the day. So much for the wisdom of man thus king Solomon realized even though he had been blessed with wisdom, wealth, and opportunity beyond that of most mortal men, God was still in charge. Thus, he ends his treatise upon the upon the accomplishments of man with these words, “here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” [Ecclesiastes 12:13] We would do well to keep these words in mind as we walk daily in this life.

Words for your Journey
To be more like Jesus is a prayer upon the lips of every faithful Christian. The WWDJ—"What Would Jesus Do?” is a question we seek to answer with every decision we make in daily living. How do we determine what being like Jesus entails? Paul’s answer—the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives molds our attitudes and actions into the likeness of Jesus. The love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are items foreign to our natural state but our Helper—the indwelling of the Holy Spirit gives us to power to live each day in the image of Jesus. As we grow in the faith [while never perfect] over time we become more like Jesus as we bring our lives in tune with the will of God.

Words for your Journey
With the news upon the world stage there is always something to worry about. I would like to inform you that I am free of worry, but this would not be truthful for I have worried. The future is [with my limited vision] uncertain. Why are we told not to worry? Worry is evidence of our lack of faith in the one true God. The sad fact of my “Worry” is the realization that up to this point in my life, God has provided in every difficult trial I have faced and what He has done in the past He will do in the future. God will take care of me and if you are a Christian, rest assured, He will take care of you.

Words for our Journey
We complain a lot as a people even through we are blessed beyond measure. We American have more of everything than any nation in history--why even our “Poor Folks” have cell phones, color tv, cars, air conditioners, and most are overweight having too much to eat. We as a people are blessed. But the problem of complaining extends beyond these folks to the ones of us who call ourselves Christians. This verse indicated that God through his Divine power has given us everything we need for life [the here and now] and godliness [living in the image of Jesus—again the here and now] in other words, God has given us everything we need to live the Christian life now thus there is no room for complaining on our part for God is more than good to us.

Words for your Journey
The first half of Daniel is history and not difficult to understand but the last few chapters are prophecy and have been much debated over the years. The twelve chapter begins with these words: “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Everyone who is found written in the book.” This will be fearful time but not for those who trust [are wise] in God will share in everlasting life and will shine like the stars on a cloudless night. A Great promise in our troubled times.

Words for your Journey
Many years ago, I read these words to my wife’s aunt who was dying of cancer and these words brought comfort to her and over the years I have often read this 46th Psalms to those who were near death. But these are not just words for the dying but words of comfort to any who is living in difficult times. For many life is filled with troubles: financial, physical, sickness, family difficulties, not to forget that we live in a world that is always on the brink of war. Am I worried—no for God is in control and He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble—even in such troubled times in which we live.

Words for your Journey
A few months ago, I bought four tires for our car, costing just shy of $600.00. I commented to the gentleman waiting on me that it did not seem that long ago that I bought 4 brand name tires for $100.00 dollars. He informed me of the fact, if my car was not 16 plus years old the cost of four tires would be $1200.00 or more. This is the changing world in which we live, and this is symbolic of the fact nothing in this world will provide a solid foundation upon which we may stand. Is it not a wonderful fact that we as Christians stand upon a firm, sound, solid, unshakeable foundation--Jesus Christ. All the world may change and even descend into chaos, but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. In these times, I want to stand upon the solid rock—JESUS, for all other ground is sinking sand.
