My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? -Psalms 22:1


God bless you and TGIF. Beloved the scripture found above is often misunderstood. Most thought or think it originated with Jesus on the cross and it is given as one of the final things He said on the cross of our making. 


But it originated in the scripture above and on the cross as a prophecy fulfilled. Jesus told the disciples “if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.” 


This of course means His suffering and sacrifice borne out of love will draw willing hearts to the foot of the cross. And in Him being lifted up the sacrificial nature is glorified and it is shown that the sin of past, present and future is broken from the DNA of mankind. 


So as Jesus spoke from the cross, He spoke of the prophecy of being the lamb of God and as the ultimate price; perfect willing, knowingly innocent blood being shed for us. 


So did the Father abandon Jesus at the point of His greatest need? A resounding no is given here as the sin nature broke off men it wafered up to the broken, bloody and hideous body of our Lord.


 The harshness of sin on the senses of God was shown as God showed His displeasure with sin and symbolically let’s us know God hates sin but not the sinner. 


Let’s lift Him up today as the reason we have joy, peace, hope, love and abundance before all to hear, adhere and be saved. 


Go to church this Sunday, the screen with the highest resolution and the best sound Bose or others can offer, doesn’t replace the smile and embrace of your brothers and sisters in Christ.

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.
