“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord , that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55:6-7, ESV
Today is the day of salvation. Once this life is over, there are no more chances to seek and call on the Lord.
Choose today to know God and be pardoned of all sins!
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
Matthew 5:6, ESV
Those who truly want righteousness and justice find their full satisfaction in Jesus Christ alone.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105, ESV
Our world, our lives, our walk with God all makes sense through Scripture, the Word of God. Only by it do we see the answer to evil, sin, and the need for a Savior.
And Who that Savior is.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:8, ESV
God is always near (omnipresent). Yet, we are more aware when we diligently seek His face through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians.
And only by Him are we made clean and can we think rightly.
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13, ESV
“When I have time …”
“After I do this …”
“I have so many other obligations …”
We wonder why we do not see God … when we refuse to make seeking Him a priority.
Make time for God every day.
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3, ESV
Do not read this as “Make sure God is invoked in your work so that your plans work out.”
Start your plans by seeking God’s will, work diligently and faithfully with the help of God, and find success on God’s terms, not necessarily your own.
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12, ESV
This is not about remembering birthdays and anniversaries (though, that is not bad.)
Rather, we should aware of God’s power and Christ’s immanent return to bring justice and peace.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9, ESV
God is in control. It is better to follow His way than our own.
Seek God’s will in everything in your life.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11, ESV
We appreciate beauty, for God has made beautiful things. He also gave us a desire for perfection and eternity, but it can only be attained through Christ, our hope and beautiful Savior.
So, a lot happened this year.
We will avoid the political stuff for now, some the results of television and cinema drama, and much of the sadness, stupidness, and crazy.
On some positive notes, my wife started her Masters degree and should be done in five months!
Our friend started his Doctorate, and he and his wife had their adorable daughter.
I began working for my friend at Third Shot Coffee. That is pretty cool. I have not given up on my own dreams, either, but they are not at the forefront at this time.
Oh. And we have a house of our own again!
But this next year should be … 2020.
In any event, may you receive an abundance of bunches of blessings this year. And though life may take some effort to trudge through, fall on the promises of God, this year and always.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
In His Love,
Daniel
