Isaiah 12: 1-3.
And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedest me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
 
What a merciful, bountiful God we have eh! He never stays angry with us, and even when He is, He still comforts and strengthens us, in spite of His dissatisfaction. So why shouldn’t we love and trust Him? He has also provided salvation throughout eternity for us hopeless sinners. Who else is as mighty and merciful as our God?  NOBODY!  So let us turn to Him in all honesty and truth, so that with endless joy we may draw water from the endless well of salvation that He’s provided for those who love him! Much Love!

Philippians 4: 4-6                                                                                                        
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say rejoice: Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.

What a beautiful and succint method for living Paul gives us: Always rejoice in the Lord. And he considered it so important that he had to say it a second time…Rejoice! Be moderate in your affairs, no need to go overboard on anything. And finally, take everything, everything to God in prayer, remembering to give thanks for what He has already done for us, and also make a down- payment for what He’ll do in the future. Let’s try and live that way friends. It will enrich our lives considerably and be so pleasing to the Most High. Much LOVE!

Today’s Scrip-Bit 18 July 2007 Genesis 6: 6 & 11

Genesis 6: 6 & 11.
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and grieved him at his heart. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
 
Has it changed any since the time of Noah? Not really. It has probably gotten worse, because there are many more people on planet earth, with way more sophisticated weapons of violence. I am sure that it still grieves the Lord’s heart today, just as much as it did back then when He was forced to bring that devastating flood upon the earth, to try and wash away man and his iniquity. He obviously did not succeed then. So what now? What shall He do in the face of our wickedness? Let’s change people, else the next time, as He promised – and we know that He always keeps his promise – the next time might soon be here…the time of hellfire and brimstone! Wake up people and smell the roses! It doesn’t make sense to destroy ourselves and this wonderful earth over stupid greed and ignorance.

Today’s Scrip-Bit 17 July 2007 Galatians 6: 9-10

Galations 6: 9-10.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we therefore have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
 
Paul’s words of encouragement to the Galatians, still hold true today, perhaps more so, since we are constantly bombarded with all kinds of worldly things, and it’s becoming evermore difficult to keep our focus on God. But it’s the old story of sowing and reaping; patience and perseverance. If we sow with a good heart – remember it’s the heart that The Most High looks at –  and then wait patiently, a wonderful harvest of plenty we will eventually reap. So let’s keep on doing good people. Let’s keep on doing good, especially to one another. LOVE…& Much Do Goodness!

Today’s Scrip-Bit 16 July 2007 Exodus 4: 10-12

Exodus 4: 10-12.
And Moses said unto the lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or the deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have I not the Lord? Now therefore go; and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
 
Ah Lord eh! Him and his crazy modus operandi. For some reason I never seem to check the early part of the Old Testament for Scrip-Bits, however yesterday I happened to be in Exodus for something else and the above passage caught my eye. It immediately brought to mind the early stages of the Scrip-Bit process, when I was feeling the moving of the spirit in me to do it, but obviously resisting. Unlike Moses, I did not stammer, but I never felt I had the wherewhital to do it. But as we all know He persisted and I eventually gave in. And it’s almost two months since it’s inception. I guess He was trying to tell me, see, I never ask you to do something without giving you the tools to do it. Let’s remember that. And, in spite of my initial reluctance, I am actually enjoying doing this Scrip-bit thing. Hope you enjoy receiving it. Love.

Proverbs 6: 20 – 23.
My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is the light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
 
Ole Solomon certainly knew how to get to the heart of the matter. That is exactly how we should keep the Lord’s word; bound upon our hearts and tied around our necks, so that it shall guide us like a lamp in the dark night of our worldly walk, keep us safe and peaceful in slumber, and converse with us and correct us when we veer off the straight and narrow path.
 It’s not an easy road that the Christian walks, but if we study and abide by the Lord’s word, we’ll do just fine. Happy walking Friends!

Joshua 7: 10

And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up, wherefore liest thou upon thy face.
 
Hn, hn,hn! Today, while searching for a Scrip-Bit, I suddenly foiund myself in a strange, sour mood. Nothing was really wrong. I was allright when I started, and for the life of me I could not understand why I had suddenly become so blah. To make matters worse, I could not find a bit that impressed me, although several seemed appropriate. In frustration, I shut the Bible and decided to just open it at random. The first time I opened it in Job, but nothing satisfied me. But the second time it opened unto Joshua, and since that was the only passage underlined on the page, it immediately drew my attention, and I knew that it was supposed to be today’s bit. I guess God was tired of Joshua prostrating himself, pleading for the stubborn Israelites, and figured he should be up doing something more constructive. I guess he was asking me too why I was fiddle faddling and not being decisive,when there was so much to be done. Let’s stop lying on our faces people! We do no good down there. Instead, let’s get up, sing, praise and spread the Word of the Lord! Amen! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Today’s Scrip-Bit 13 July 2007 1 Corinthians 10:13

1 Corinthians 10: 13.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation, also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 

So true! The Most High will NEVER put you in a situation where he has not provided the tools for you to expedite the matter at hand. We should always remember that. It is one of the building blocks of our faith. What a wonderful Being is he eh!  Even though he puts us through our paces, he never gives us more than we can bear, and always provides a way out. I say Amen to that people! So when we find ourselves in a sticky situation, remember he’s watching over us, and whatever it is will not break our back, it might bend it, but definitely not break it. And if we search diligently and faithfully, we’ll find the answer to our problems. Selah!

Isaiah 34: 16…

Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read……

 

The message has not changed from the days of Isaiah. Umpteen hundreds of years later, we still need to read the Good Book, and worse yet, be reminded to read it. That’s the only way we will know what He has to say. But so many people today claim that they are too busy to spend a few minutes perusing the Word. Yet they find hours on end to watch the nonsense on the tube, or do other unimportant stuff. But as soon as we find ourselves in a jam, we’re quick to turn to Him and cry, Oh Lord, help me! Then we wonder why He doesn’t answer us. If we don’t make time for Him, yuh think He’ll make time for us? It’s all a matter of priorities people. In this fast paced, global village of today, we have to set priorities and stick to them, and communicating with our Maker should be at the head of our list. Whatever religion or faith you believe in, it’s imperative that you spend time with the head of that body, otherwise your belief and faith is a waste of time. So let’s put the Most High at the top of our list and MAKE THE TIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM. Amen.

Psalm 40: 1- 4.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

 

What a wonderful testimony for The Most High! And I would like to add my two cents worth to David’s praise. Today was a good day, and I just feel to give thanks for that. When we have a bad day we are quick to criticize, but when we have a good one we just take it for granted and forget to say thanks. So I am saying it now…THANKS! giving a great big,THANK YOU! to the Most High for a wonderful day, both weather wise and personal. Let’s not forgive to give THANKS people. There’s a lot for us to be thankful for. LIFE & LOVE!
