The Daily Scroll

 To my readers around the world I wish you a very happy new year. Remember what we have to look forward to..... The King is Coming! 

The Daily Scroll

 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 

(1 Corinthians 13:4-6)

Gods’ will for us. Peace on Earth, good will towards men.

A CALL TO PRAYER

 

Attention all prayer warriors! 

The Lord God is calling you to intercessory prayer for our Nation. Now is the time, today is the day to walk boldly before the throne of Grace and to implore God to restore our President and to heal our land. The Apostle Paul taught us to “pray without ceasing. We battle not against flesh and blood, but with spiritual wickedness in high places.” As bad as things are, they will get worse without the help of the Lord. I also ask my Brothers and Sisters who read my blog in more than sixty four Nations to join us in prayer for these United States of America. Thank you. Blessings. Gene

Watch Where You Are Going

Distractions abound in this modern futuristic world. People texting on their smartphones while driving…the only thing smart about that is the phone. People hurt and dying because someone is not watching where they’re going.

A man or a woman captured by the allure of a coworker, found in a situation which breaks trust with their spouse or loved one. All because they’re not watching where they’re going.

A business leader enticed by the easy riches of ill-gotten gain, now imprisoned after not watching where he was going.

Politicians, religious authorities, educational activists, and the list goes on and on. Not to belabor the point but did you ever just stop, look around and say to yourself, “ Everybody! Watch where you’re going!”

Hindsight is 20/20 but hindsight always comes when it’s too late. Just ask Adam. God’s created man who carried the future of humanity within him. God gave him a law, a warning to not eat the fruit of that one tree. Now Adam wasn’t stupid. In fact, he was very intelligent, yet what did he do?

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.” (Genesis 3:6 NIV)

Adam didn’t watch where he was going and so subsequently he led his family and all who would come after them to become a fallen race.

There was another man mentioned prominently in the Bible who did watch where he was going. The Lord Jesus, the Son of the living God. His life was devoted to one purpose, to fulfill the calling that Father God had placed before him. To fulfill the law and redeem this fallen race by his sacrifice on a cross. With all the many distractions, obstacles, and temptations, he watched where He was going, pushed towards the will of God, and succeeded. He won us back.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14 KJV)

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” (1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV)

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV)

We must fix our eyes on where we are going, and not get sidetracked by the pleasures of this world. For the pleasures of this world are only temporary. But friendship with God is forever!

Lord, help us watch where we are going and keep our eyes on what is important and eternal. Help us keep our eyes upon you.
