For we walk by faith, not by sight:                       

                   -2 Corinthians 5:7


Good morning and God Bless you. Imagine, it is Friday in the year ‘1 in Jerusalem and you are a tourist passing by a hillside. Your tour guide points out the upcoming hill called Golgotha, making note that today a Roman execution is taking place. 


He then explains the method of execution and that this is a multiple one and particularly bloody as one man had been beaten senseless. 


If you walked by this scene, your mind would surely write off those being executed, not needing anyone to testify of the gruesomeness or brutality because you saw it first hand. But as the redeemed of Christ you can’t believe everything presented by your natural eyes, because we walk by faith. 


Why is walking by faith important? One reason is because this world is a perpetual train wreck calling for our attention. The enemy wants you to look at him and not unto God. 


Having seen such a sight you feel too weary to travel and decide to go back and stay in Jerusalem for a few days. The first day was uneventful, though you can’t get the eyes of the middle most man out of your mind, you manage to sleep. 


Then the following morning, you hear a ruckus as soldiers and temple guards rush around and the whispers are ferocious. Not hearing clearly you ear hustle and hear that the middle man, you know the one, beaten, stabbed, tortured, was not in the tomb, the tomb guarded by soldiers...


This is when you saddle your camel and head out of town. Your hope would be you never hear of this place, it’s people and oh yeah this Jesus, can’t be too careful dealing with ghost and all.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
