Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV)

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

J– JESUS
O–OTHERS
Y– YOU
Are you a joyful Christian or does your face
ever show a smile?
Are you a joyful Christian and can smile seeing
a bright side in every walked mile.
JOY is a fruit of the Spirit, so let us smile and
gladly wear it.
JOY to the world for our LORD has come!
JESUS paid our ransom and set us free!
Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshiped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

TALKING WITH JESUS

DEAR SOUL, WHEN YOUR DAY IS FILLED WITH SORROW,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

IF OUR DAYS BE SUNNY OR FILLED WITH CLOUDS,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

IF OUR TRAILS IN LIFE BE SMOOTH OR ROCKY,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS.

WHEN OUR DAYS ARE LONELY OR FILLED WITH DISTRESS,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

DEAR FRIEND, NO MATTER THE TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS.

WHETHER OUR BODIES ARE HEALTHY OR FILLED WITH PAIN,

LET  US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

DEAR SOUL NO MATTER WHAT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS,

HE WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH!

JUST THINKING!

I AWOKE,
AWOKE VERY EARLY,
IT WAS ABOUT 4 AM.
THE PAIN IN MY HEAD,
IT WAS A THROBBING PAIN,
CAUSED BY THE WAY I LAY,
OR MAYBE THE FALLING RAIN.
I AROSE,
I PUT HEAT ON MY NECK,
TOOK SOME PAIN PILLS;
I WAS A WRECK.
MY BED ENTICED ME,
TO LIE DOWN AGAIN,
I LAID THERE TO DAYLIGHT;
I MEDITATED ON GOD'S WORD,
AND SAYING A FEW PRAYERS.
I AROSE,
MADE SOME HOT CHOCOLATE,
AND WISHED SOME FRIENDS,
FRIENDS ON FACE BOOK,
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS YOU ALL;
I SHARED SOME SCRIPTURES,
UNTIL JUST ABOUT NINE,
THE SUN BROKE THROUGH,
THROUGH THE CLOUDS
AS GOD ANSWERED SOME PRAYERS,
AND I PRAISED HIM ,
FOR ALWAYS BEING AROUND,
SO FAITHFUL AND TRUE!
~GERALD STAPLES

JUST THINKING!

March rolled in this year,

like a gentle lamb,

it is cold and sunny,

a little chick-a dee sits on a branch,

as the snow flurries,

from a floating cloud above,

begin to flutter down.

There are some birds,

flying across the way,

to see what the neighbors feeder,

as to offer them today;

I sit here watching,

and I am amazed with God's creation,

and how everything moves,

moves in unity held in His hands.

His amazing Grace was a salvation plan,

His love put in place,

when Satan's false words caused  the fall,

yes, temping words caused the fall of man.

Amazing Grace is an awesome plan,

to give a second chance,

to enter back into fellowship,

with God the Father,

by the shed blood of God's only SON,

as convicted by God's Holy Spirit.

Oh, let us come and worship,

God the Father, God the Spirit and God the Son!

TODAY'S BIBLE READING!

Psalm 19 King James Version (KJV)

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

A FEBRUARY MORNING!

A FEBRUARY MORNING!
ON THIS SECOND DAY OF FEBRUARY 2020,
GROUND HOG DAY IS A CLOUDY DULL DAY,
A DAY WITH SNOW FLURRIES FLUTTERING DOWN,
NOT MAKING A SOUND,
WHEN THEY LAND ON THE SNOW COVERED GROUND.
THE SAYING GOES WHEN THE GROUND HOG,
SEES IT'S SHADOW WE USE HALF OUR MEAT,
 AND HALF THE HAY, MEANING A SHORTER  WINTER;
AS I SEE IT THERE WILL BE SIX WEEKS LEFT,
WHETHER THE GROUND HOG SEES IT'S SHADOW OR NOT.
LET'S BE HAPPY EVERYDAY AS WE WAIT FOR SPRING,
LOOKING FORWARD FOR EASTER, WHEN GOD'S CREATION,
COMES TO LIFE FROM IT'S RESTING PERIOD,
WHEN ALL NATURE SEEMS TO SING WITH THE SOUND,
THE SOUND OF SONG BIRDS SING EVERYWHERE,
WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY HEADS, IT'S SPRING, IT'S SPRING.
EASTER IS THE TIME OF CELEBRATION FOR THE SAINTS,
WE SING PRAISES OF HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION,
FOR HIS VICTORY OVER SIN, DEATH AND THE ETERNAL,
ETERNAL PLACE OF TORMENT FOR EVER AND EVER.
GOD HAS EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS SO REJOICE,
YES, REJOICE THAT CHRIST CAME AND HE DIED AND AROSE,
AROSE IN TO HEAVEN SO ONE DAY WE COULD JOIN HIM THERE,
WHAT A GLORIOUS VICTORY WE HAVE TO CLAIM,
WHEN WE ASK HIM FOR SALVATION IN JESUS NAME!

Jakeswords: Drips and Drops!

Jakeswords: Drips and Drops!: Today I sit, and stare out my window, watching the drops of rain, as it drips off the roof, while others drip, drip down the window pan...

MY DREAM!

Last night I dreamed a dream,
some might call it a nightmare,
and they would scream.
I was in a large lonely building,
people everywhere,
there was no Bible reading,
there was no prayer;
I asked who  do you worship?
They answered,
the world is our master.
I answered,
I do not agree,
surely don't agree there.
Jesus,is my Master,
I see His loving arms,
and I see Him everywhere!

MID SEPTEMBER

Today is cloudy,
with a few sightings of sun,
there is a chill in the air,
the season of Fall has begun.
Thanksgiving is,
 just around the corner,
my favorite season is here again,
soon the leaves will change,
some red,orange, yellow and gold,
God has colored them,
so much beauty for us to behold.
When the world began,
everything was of perfect color,
then Satan beguiled man,
the blackness of sin entered in,
black with all it's sin;
God had a plan,
When the appointed time came,
He would send His only SON
to redeem those lost in sin,
placing them on a narrow road,
leading to a heavenly city,
and with it's streets of pure gold.

Just Reflecting!

                   

I awakened this morning at Seven AM

After a good night of rest;

I paused a moment to reflect,

the beauty of creation,

and the awesome power of the great I AM!

I got outside for a drive,

seeing everything so green,

everything so much alive,

and knowing that with God the Father,

God the SON and God the Holy Spirit;

I am safe and secure from all alarms!
