What did Jesus say? - Repent

By: Robert A. Searles

Jesus said: Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17.
Up until the time that Jesus came upon the scene and presented himself to John the Baptist to be baptized by him as a token of his identification with the human race, the worship of God was ceremonial, for the most part. People lived pretty much as they pleased. For the most part people were concerned only for their own needs and pleasure, religious, strict keepers of the law out of fear, but having no heart for it. They feared an angry wrathful God, as they thought of him, whom they thought was more eager to pour out his wrath and punishment, than to love , show mercy and forgive. An eye for an eye and tooth for tooth mentality prevailed. People were lying, cheating and killing one another in business as well as in religious matters.
Jesus came with an all new philosophy. Jesus was the manifestation of God the Father in human flesh. He came to reveal to the world the true nature of God. God is love, God is kind, God is merciful, God is more willing to forgive sins than to pour out his wrath and punishment if people will only confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.
To repent means to come to a place in our sojourn through life when we stop and examine ourselves, examine our thinking and attitudes, look into the depth of our own heart and root out all bitterness, envy, strife, covetousness, and anything that does not reflect the image and glory of God.
Jesus taught us to repent: to stop and take a good look at ourselves and if we are going in this direction to turn completely around - repent - and go in the direction of God; to follow his teaching about God and his love and mercy, and to look forward to the coming kingdom of God.
We all need to take a good look at our lifestyle. What do we believe? What are our attitudes? What are our ambitions? Are we on the right road to inherit the kingdom of God? Have we truly believed and received Christ as our savior? If not, we need to do as Jesus said: "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17.

ipWhat Did Jesus say? - About Worship

What Did Jesus say? - About Worship?
By: Robert A. Searles

    Worship - what is worship?  Worship is said to be the act of showing reverence, adoration -  to adore; to love; and to admire
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. It was made by him, and was all his from the beginning, but he temporarily laid aside all that rightly belonged to him so as to become one of us earthlings, made a little lower than the angels, so that he could share in our miseries, and pay our sin debt so that we could be like him.
 Many wonderful things that God has made and placed within our reach tempt us to be covetous.
    Satan, while tempting Jesus, reminded him of all the kingdoms of the world that he could rule over if he would just turn his affections away from God the Father, and worship him, who had gained control of all these things through the fall of the human race.
 Satan said to Jesus: "All these things will I give thee if thou will fall down and worship me." In other words, Satan was saying, all can be yours if you will reverence, adore, love and admire me above all else, including God the Father.
 What did Jesus say? "Then saith Jesus unto him, get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Matthew 4: 10

 This beautiful world that God has made is full of enticements for us to covet . Some things are good for us; others are not right for us to have. We are likewise tempted by our flesh, and by Satan to neglect the worship and service to God to go after those things, forgetting that God our Father, who gave his only begotten son to save us, will thru him also give us freely all good things to enjoy if we will dedicate our worship and service to him only.

   When we seek material things more than we seek a spiritual relationship with God our Father, we are falling into Satan's trap to worship him. The result is that we may have pleasure and comfort for a season, but in the end only misery and desolation.

   Let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, and remind ourselves as Jesus said:” It is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Math 4:10

What did Jesus say? - About tempting God, to Prove him?

By: Robert A. Searles

 What did Jesus say about tempting or trying to prove God?
While Jesus was fasting in the wilderness, he was tempted by the devil to prove whether or not he was truly the son of God. If he was, in fact God, then it seemed reasonable to him that he could throw himself down from the pinnacle of the temple and he would not be harmed, thus proving God's word and promise that God would keep him from all harm.
Jesus said: "It is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Matthew 4: 7.
That which God has told us in his word is true and to be believed, and must be accepted and taken by faith. We are not to tempt God by trying to prove him. God cannot be proved by any human effort.
Many times in our daily lives and activities, we have a tendency to want to prove God and his love for us. We sometimes challenge his authority, and when we do, we get into deep trouble. God has given to us certain laws which must be obeyed, both physical and spiritual. When we disobey these laws we must suffer the consequences.
Let us always remember what Jesus said, that it is written in the word of God that we are not to tempt or try to prove the Lord our God.

What did Jesus Say?-About Food?

By: Robert A. Searles

What did Jesus say about mankind's need for food?
Jesus said: "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4
Jesus had been in the wilderness and had fasted for forty days and forty nights, and he knew what it was like to be hungry and physically in need of food. He could have commanded the stones to produce bread for his physical needs, but knew if he did, he would be using his divine power selfishly amiss. As the obedient son of God, he considered it more important to wait upon God and trust his word and promises.
Mankind needs more than physical food, clothing, and shelter for survival. He needs to absorb every word of God into his heart and mind. Every word of God is true and pure, and if obeyed, will bring health, well being, and salvation to both body and soul.
Let us take Jesus 's advice and esteem the word of God more highly than our necessary food.

Who Shall Abide in Thy Tabernacle?

 Thought For Today - March 28, 2025
 Who Shall Abide in Thy Tabernacle?
By: Robert A. Searles

    "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is condemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved." Psalm 15.

    God cannot fellowship with sin, therefore if we have any vestige of  sin in our lives, we cannot expect to enjoy the full fellowship of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, even though we may be the children of God. We ought to examine ourselves daily and keep short accounts with God so that we will be able to abide with God and dwell in his holy hill.

 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.

    Lets daily ask ourselves these questions, and if we find ourselves guilty, let us judge ourselves that we be not judged, and ask God's forgiveness: Do I walk uprightly? Do I the works of righteousness? Do I speak truth in my heart? Do I back bite with my tongue? Do I do evil to my neighbor? Do I take a reproach against my neighbor? Do I keep my word even to my own hurt? Do I fear the Lord and do I honor all them that do fear the Lord?
    "He that doeth these things shall never be moved."

Is It Well With You Today?
By: Robert A. Searles

    We want for it to be well with us and with our children forever. This is our humble prayer to God our father, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. God has already indicated in his word that this was his will for his chosen people Israel, and it holds true for us, even today. The promises of God are trustworthy and reliable. He has said that if we would :"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6: 23.

    "O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!" Deuteronomy 5: 29.

    All the commandments can be summed up in one commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

    "Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever." Deuteronomy 4: 40.

    God our father has provided for us in his only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, every thing we will ever need for our spiritual and physical well being. He was offered to the world as a love gift from God, but he must be received by faith by each individual. Will you , dear reader, receive him as your savior and Lord that it might be well with thee and thy children forever?

In Times Like These!

Thought For Today -  March 26, 2025
In Times Like These!
By: Robert A. Searles

    There are times when we as Christians find ourselves in seemingly impossible situations. It seems that the sea is in front of us, the enemy pursuing behind us, and barriers on either side of us. We don't know what to do, and it seems that there is no escape. We think that there is no help for us, that we are lost and forsaken.

    In 2 Chronicles chapter 20, we read that Jehoshaphat king of Judah, found himself in a similar situation. We are told that : "It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle." 2 Chronicles 20: 1.

    The bible says that Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

    "And Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. and Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord." 2Chronicles 20: 3-4.

Jehoshaphat did the smart thing. He set himself to seek the Lord, and all Judah committed themselves to prayer and fasting to ask help from the Lord.

    My Christian brothers and sisters, we know from the teaching of the word of God, and from the witness of the Holy Spirit within us, and from the reproofs of life, that the wisest thing that we can do if we are lost, backsliden, or in any kind of trouble, is to seek the Lord and ask his help, recognizing that we who by faith have received the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, God's Love gift to us, are the born again children of God, and God has promised to care and provide for his own.

    Principles involved here are:  When we know not what to do in any given situation, focus our eyes upon the Lord: "Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you". 1 Peter 5: 7.

    When we, who are the children of God, call upon the Lord for help, he fights our battles for us, and we shall not need to fight, but stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

    Before any visible signs of victory are evident, start singing praises to the Lord, and be thankful for what he will do.

    When we believe God, and our praise and thanksgiving begins, God begins to work in our lives.
Jehoshaphat told his people to start singing and praising the Lord for what he was about to do for them.

    "And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that they should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, praise the Lord, for his mercy endureth forever. and when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten." 2 Chronicles 20:21-22..

    God is present wherever people are truly praising him. He inhabits or lives with the praises of his people. Wherever God is present, his enemies, and our enemies flee away and are destroyed.

Why Go Back To Egypt?

 Thought For Today - March 25, 2025
Why Go Back To Egypt?

By: Robert A. Searles

The children of Israel always had a pull toward Egypt from whence they had so miraculously been delivered. They so quickly forgot how God had delivered them from the bondage of Pharaoh, and brought them across the Red Sea, and led them in the wilderness and how he fought for them and delivered them from their enemies, and gave them angel's food to eat.
Likewise, the Christian is prone to wander away from God, and tends to desire again the things of the world, the flesh, and the devil. How soon many of us forget, once we have been delivered, how terrible the bondage and slavery of sin! Sinful pleasures look attractive to us again, and the deceitfulness of the things around us seem to draw us back into the very bondage that we have so miraculously been delivered from by the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
God warned his ;people Israel of the danger they were in when they allowed this to happen, and the same warning is given to Christians today who tend to have their affections alienated away from their Savior.
"Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt. Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh, be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion." Isaiah 30: 1-3.

A Threefold Cord!

A Threefold Cord!

By: Robert A. Searles

My Christian friend, and brother, who can find a virtuous woman? "For her price is far above rubies." Proverb 31: 10.

If you are blessed of God with a good wife, you ought to treasure her above everything else under God. "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones." Proverbs 12: 4.

"Who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord." Proverb 18: 22

A good wife, my friend , is from the Lord, and if you have a good wife, love her and care for her, and give yourself for her as Christ hath loved the church and has given himself for it.

I thank the Lord for my good wife. "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She maketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants ships, she bringeth her food from afar. she riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. she considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and she strengenth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night, she layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet." Proverbs 31: 11-21.
My father, I thank you for giving me a virtuous woman to be my life companion. Help me to be to her as Christ is to the church. May our lives together bear fruit for your glory, and may we walk together, hand in hand with you, for a threefold cord is not easily broken. In Jesus name. Amen.

All fool's Day!

 Thought For Today - March 23, 2025
All fool's Day!

By: Robert A. Searles

April 1 is commonly known as all fools day. If you are a fool, this is your special day.
"The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God..." Psalm 14: 1. No God for me - no God will direct my life - no God will tell me what to do. I am my own man. Thou fool, thou knowest not what thou sayest. Know ye not that the only freedom you really have is the freedom to choose masters? Jesus said: "No man can serve two masters, either he will love the one and hate the other, or else he will despise the one and cleave to the other".
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7.
Do you despise wisdom and instruction? Then if you do, this is your special day.
"The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools." Proverbs 3:35
What do you have to look forward to,? Shame or glory?
"The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.." Proverb 10:8
"The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." Proverbs 10: 21
Will the cause of your death be for want of wisdom?
"It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom." Proverbs 10: 23
Is your favorite past time that of doing evil and serving the devil?
"Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor." Proverbs 14: 9. "A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent." Proverbs 15: 5.
Will you heed our father's instruction this morning, or will you play the part of the fool? The father's instruction, to all men and women everywhere is that God is. He is a rewarder of all those who will seek him. God is spirit and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, came into the world to save sinners. "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, he was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures".
Our father's instructions warns us that :"There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3: 10. "For all have sinned , and come short of the glory of God.." Romans 3: 23. "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6: 23. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3: 16.
Don't be a fool. don 't take a chance on you eternal destiny. Receive Christ today as your savior and be sure you have passed from death unto life.
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." Ephesians 5: 15-17.

A goodly Heritage!

By: Robert. A. Searles

"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Psalm 16: 6
In spite of all the difficulties and problems we may face from day to day, how fortunate we are if we have been the recipient of God's grace and have been saved and born again into God's family. I thank God for my salvation . I thank God for a savior who was willing to leave the splendor of Heaven and come to earth to rescue me. I thank God for Calvary, the old rugged cross, the death, burial and resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God for the person of the Holy Spirit who is my constant companion, my guide and my overseer. I thank God for the written word of God, which administered by the Holy Spirit, is my source of nourishment and renewed strength as I feast upon it.
Yes, because of God's amazing grace , I am a fortunate person. I do have a goodly heritage, the lines are fallen unto me in a pleasant place.
"I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16:7-11

Grace for All!

 Thought for Today - March 21, 2025

 Grace for All!

 By: Robert A. Searles

 “Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1: 2. 

Grace, the unmerited favor of God, which God gives to those whom he chooses. Thank God he has chosen me to be the recipient of his grace. God has poured out his riches upon me at Christ's expense. For he paid it all for me on Calvary's cross. 

 “He was wounded for my transgression, he was bruised for my iniquities, the chastisement of my peace was upon him, and with his stripes I am healed.” Isaiah 53. 

 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1: 4-7 

 Friend, do you have the peace of God? The peace of God comes as the result of - “redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself; that in the dispensation of the fullness of time he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth, even in him: In whom we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.” Ephesians 1: 7-12

 Friend, if you are reading these lines, if you have heard the gospel message, you have also been chosen of God to be a recipient of his grace, to stand blameless before God, redeemed by his blood. Salvation is free to all who will believe and receive it.

 Go in the Strength of the Lord!
By Robert A. Searles

    "I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only." Psalm 71: 16

    I will go in the strength of the Lord. In order for us to go in the strength of the Lord our God, we need to focus our mind upon the Lord the moment we awake in the morning, and keep our minds stayed upon him throughout the entire day. 

    "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon thee, because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26.3

    We need to be ever thankful and always counting the blessings which our Lord has bestowed upon us. We need to have songs of praise always in our heart. 

    "I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt." Psalm 71:21-24

 God Is Our Refuge.!
 By: Robert A. Searles

    "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah".Psalm 46: 1,2,3

    This kind of confidence in God our father gives us a peace in our hearts that the world cannot give, and a peace it cannot take away. To know that God, the Holy Spirit is constantly abiding with us, and that he is our unfailing companion from the day that we are born again into the family of God until God takes us home to Heaven.

    "The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, Selah." Psalm 46: 7.

    "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?" Deuteronomy 4: 7

    Who could possibly be any better off, or more safe and secure than we who are the children of God?

    "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah." Psalm 46: 10,11

What would we do?

 Thought For Today - March 18, 2025
What would we do?

By: Robert A. Searles
On the night when Jesus was arrested, the scripture says, according to Luke 22: 54-57: "Then took they him and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, this man was also with him. and he denied him, saying, woman, I know him not."
When the world earnestly looks upon us as Christians, what will they see? Will they see us following Christ afar off, with a weak testimony, our lives filled with the fears and anxieties of this life, fearful of what men or circumstances can do to us? Do they see us sitting down with them at their fire, willing to be charmed and warmed by the world's delights, its' things, and its' philosophy? Will they see us deny him, who would not, and could not deny us, but gave himself fully for us?
When the cock crowed, as Jesus had predicted, Peter looked into the eyes of Jesus, and realizing what he had done, went out and wept bitterly. This is repentance.
If we should be guilty of this very thing, may God help us to weep bitterly within our souls and come to repentance

Tap the Mind of God!

By: Robert A. Searles

"Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee: Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" Proverbs 22:17-21
We are reminded to continually tap the mind of God by diligent search through the Holy scriptures, prayer and meditation, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Godly counsel is available to us momentarily if we will avail ourselves of it. The ultimate solution to all our problems is already available to us in the mind of God, and he is willing, and invites us to share his wisdom with us, his blood bought children.

Speak To God!

Thought for Today - March 16, 2025

Speak To God!

By: Robert A. Searles

“And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: And he said, , the Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; the God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Savior, thou savest me from violence .”2 samuel 22: 1-3.

 

 David spoke unto the Lord and sang songs of praise and thanksgiving for God's deliverance from all his enemies, and for all his blessings.

 

When we speak unto the Lord, what do we say to him? Is he pleased with our salutation to him? Do we approach him with respect and adoration, acknowledging his rule and sovereignty over us? 

 

David acknowledged that he had won victories and was delivered from his enemies because of God's grace and love for him. His prayer and song of praise to God was in remembrance of all of God's favors and blessings. He recognized that God was his fortress and strong defense, and he called unto the Lord to tell him so.

 

No battle is ever won with a multitude of men or horses without God's protection. No blessing ever comes to us unless God ordains it; and no salvation unless God chooses to save us, which he did when he sent Christ into the world to lay down his life for all who would believe. Nothing can harm us unless God allows it.

 

We ought to speak to God in prayer the first thing in the morning. When we speak to God, our first words ought to be words of thanksgiving and praise. We ought to approach God as our father and tell him that we remember when we were yet sinners, and without hope in the world, and that Christ Jesus came into the world to save us. We called upon him and he answered us, and he did save us.

 

What a great privilege God our father has granted to us that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we have access to his throne of grace to speak with him when we are happy or, when we are sad; when we have plenty or, when we are in want; when we are in danger, or when we are safe; when we are sick or, in good health.

 

Let us always remember that God is our rock, our fortress, our high tower, and call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised.

 

“I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” 2 Samuel 22: 4

Sowing and Reaping!

 Thought For Today -March 15, 2025
Sowing and Reaping!

By: Robert A. Searles
"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126: 5,6.

 There is a principle taught in the word of God, the bible, that teaches that we must put out before we can gather in. We must sow before we can expect to reap. If we will give ourselves first to the service of Christ, then our lives, our homes, our church, and our business will be firmly established and prosper.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep." Psalm 127:1,2
The foundation of every life, every home, every church, and every business must be Christ. Without him it will not stand nor prosper for long. How firm a foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord!

Wheat Among Tares!

 Thought For Today - March 14, 2025
 Wheat Among Tares!
By: Robert A. Searles

    The bible says that we who are saved, the born again children of God, and the heirs of the kingdom of God, are living here on this earth as wheat growing in a field among tares. That is, we occupy the same earth; the same space; we breath the same air; bathe in the same sunshine; and enjoy all the benefits of God's love and mercy as the wicked non believers do. The bible says that his rain and his sunshine and his blessings fall upon the just and the unjust alike. In order for him to water the wheat, the tares are watered also, until such time as the harvest when the wheat will be gathered into barns, and the tares cast into the furnace of hell to be burned.
As we live here among the tares, awaiting the harvest of souls, let us, as the wheat, not allow the tares to choke us and keep us from receiving all the blessings that the Lord has in store for us. Let us not be as the non believers, and the scoffers, ignoring the warning of God and being disobedient to him. God wants his own redeemed children, the wheat, to be separated and sanctified unto himself.
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto the fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless." 2 Peter: 3: 3-14
    "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. A-men: 2 Peter 3:17,18.

PS; May God bless all my readers! God loves us all! Jesus Christ died for us, and rose again to save us! Praise God!Share this gospel truth with your friends and with the world. Amen!

The Lord hath dealt bountifully with us!

 

Thought For Today - March 13, 2025
The Lord hath dealt bountifully with us!

By: Robert A. Searles

"How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? For ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy; and my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord because he hath dealt bountifully with me”. Psalm 13.
Those of us who have experienced the love and salvation of God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can truly say that in spite of the difficulties, suffering, and trials that God allows us to experience, he hath overall dealt bountifully with us.
By his grace he has given us more good things than we ever deserve; and by his mercy he has kept from us the consequences of our sins and mistakes, and his wrath and punishment that we so rightly deserve.
When there are times when we are feeling sorry for ourselves and wonder if God has forsaken us forever, even as David did, let us look back over the way we have come thus far, and see how truly God has dealt bountifully with us. Let us rejoice in our hearts and sing songs of praise to him for his goodness to us.

Today! a gift from God!

Today! a gift from God!

By: Robert A. Searles

Each day in our lives is a brand new gift from God. There has never been a day exactly like it before, and there will never be a day exactly like it again. It is unique in itself. As someone has aptly said: "This is a brand new day without mistakes, yet." Pray to God that we can keep it without mistakes.
"This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Let us not ruin today by borrowing from tomorrow's sorrows, or remembering the mistakes of yesterday. If we at all remember, let us remember the joys and the happiness, and the good things, and let us throw out with the trash, as it were, the negative and bad things.
Let us spend this day, this valuable gift that God has given to us, always aware of his presence and companionship. A day spent in companionship with the Lord is better than a thousand without him.
If we have received Christ as our savior, then today we have eternal everlasting life, and have passed from darkness into light and we don't have to look for tomorrow to come to receive it and enjoy it

Safety with the Lord!

 

 Thought For Today - March 11, 2025
  Safety with the Lord!
By: Robert A. Searles

    "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty." Psalm 91: 1.

  Oh!  What safety and comfort there is to be found, living continually in the presence, and fellowship of God, and to be overshadowed by almighty God. Thank God ! this is possible  for each of us who have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ ,and have been born again as God's own children.

    "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust, Surely he shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome, pestilence." Psalm 91:2,3.

    The devil is constantly setting traps for God's children, but God keeps us and delivers us from them all.

    "Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." Psalm 91: 9,10,11

We need to learn to exercise our right and privilege as the Children of God to dwell in the habitation of God. When we live and dwell in the presence of the Lord, and abide with him, then we are safe from all evil.

Seek Ye he LORD!

By: Robert A. Searles

“Seek ye the LORD  while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:”Isaiah 55:6-9 

  "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" Matthew 7:7

"The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God." Psalms 14:2

 "And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever." 1 Chronicles 28:9) 

"Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah55:3-9

The Word of God Shall Stand Forever!

By: Robert A. Searles

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”Isaiah 40:8

" For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18 

" Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." Mark 13:31

"But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."1 Peter 1:25

" For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."Isaiah 55:10)

"And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."Isaiah40: 5-11

Here is good news for all who will receive it!

Jesus said:

 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;  To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."
