Thought For Today - January 31
This Man Called Jesus! 
By: Robert A. Searles

    This man called Jesus, the good shepherd, the divine son of God, our savior, and our Lord!
To him belongs all honor and glory, and majesty, and all men and women, boys and girls, and young people ought to humble themselves in his mighty presence, and acknowledge him as the only way to God the father, and the only way to eternal everlasting life.

    All who have gone before him are thieves and robbers, all who may come after him are imposters. Blessed be the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12.

 "Wherefore God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father." Philippians 2:9-11.

    He came into the world to rescue the lost and to bring them safely home to God the father, as a good shepherd goes into the wilderness to search for the lost sheep and finding it, brings it safely back to the fold.

    This man called Jesus is Christ the Lord, the good shepherd. the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:5-6.

Obedient to God the father in every aspect of his life, setting the example for us who have been rescued, to follow in his steps that we might grow into his image and someday in heaven, reach the ideal to be as he is. He has given unto us who have received him by faith, eternal life, and we shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck us out of his hand.

 Thought For Today - January 30
  Greatly Blessed


    "Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people." Psalm 65: 4-7.
    No person can be saved unless he is drawn by the Holy Spirit. those of us who have been saved, have been chosen by God; therefore, we are greatly blessed of God and are partakers of all the wealth and power of God, and we are joint heirs with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
How grateful we ought to be that God in his tender mercies would reach down to us and extend his invitation through his word and by the Holy Spirit, for us to come to the banqueting table of the King of Kings, and forever share in his riches and glory.
    If you are within the sound or the sight of these words, God's invitation is extended to you. God says: "Whosoever will may come, whosoever will hear my words and believe on him that sent me, hath everlasting life” Jesus said.

Thought For Today - January 29 - Have We Been Spanked ?

  Thought For Today -  January 29
  Have We Been spanked?
By: Robert A. Searles

    The bible tells us how the prophets of Israel warned God's people, the nation of Israel, that because of their turning away from him and their worship of idols, and committing all kinds of whoredom, adultery, fornication, even offering their children to be burned as sacrifices in the fires of false gods, and turning their backs on him who had loved them and delivered them out of bondage from Egypt - that unless they turned back to him in repentance and obedience, he would have to bring judgment and destruction upon them which history has shown did actually happen. Just one example is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

    I wonder if perhaps, through some of our natural disasters, which has brought so much misery to so many people, and has left so many dead and homeless, that God may be warning us as individuals and as a nation that unless we turn back to him in repentance and ask forgiveness for our sins and idolatry; unless we turn from our killing of our children through abortions; unless we stop our whoredom and fornication; and stop worshiping the idol of sex, money, and power, and return to a revival of the Christian principles upon which this nation was founded; and instead of glorifying "mother nature" which is a non-entity, and recognize that it is God the father who is sovereign over the elements and the entire universe, that there may be worse things to come. 

    We may have just received a mild spanking from a loving father to warn us of worse things to come in way of judgment. May we as individuals, and as a nation not wander so far away from God that he has to rebuke us or draw us back to himself through his anger, wrath, and hot displeasure.

"O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure." Psalm38: 1.

Are You Forgiven?
By: Robert a. Searles


    "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with the songs of deliverance." Selah. Psalm 32: 1-7.

    Sins not confessed can cause our health to deteriorate and cause our” bones to wax old". When we confess our sins to God, we are set free like children again and our health improves. When they brought the crippled man to Jesus to be healed, Jesus said to him,"thy sins be forgiven, go in peace."
When the burden of guilt is lifted from off our shoulders, our mind and body is set free to function properly and keep us young and healthy.

    Only by the shedding of blood, the bible tells us, can sin be purged. Christ came to accomplish this by shedding his blood for each of us. Have you received this precious gift? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb of God? Are you forgiven?

Thought For Today - January 27 - Righteousness Exalteth a Nation !

Thought For Today - January 27
 Righteousness Exalteth a Nation
By: Robert A. Searles


    "When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Psalm 29: 2 

How do we define "the righteous" and "righteousness"?

    The Holy Word of God ( The Holy Bible) says that there is none righteous. "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one." Romans 3: 10

    If, according to God's word there be none righteous, who then can be deemed righteous enough to be placed in positions of authority to rule over us in the every day affairs of government?
Perfect righteousness can be found only in the person of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten son. Only those who have believed and received him as Lord and savior, and strive to be obedient to him, have had his righteousness imputed to them , and are looked upon by God as being righteous and qualified, according to God's word, to rule. 

We had better pray diligently for our government leaders, and when it comes time to elect new leaders, if we want to keep our country free, with happy, prosperous people, we had better make sure that when we cast our vote, we ascertain whether they are righteous or wicked, and are standing for righteousness, or if they have no regard for the inspired Word of God.

"Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.” Proverbs 25:4-5

If we do not wake up and take heed to what God tells us in his word, someday it will be too late.
"He , that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." Psalm 29:1

    When God tells us over and over again to do something, or not to do something, and we do not take heed, then there comes a time when God cuts us off without hope.

"In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it." Psalm 29: 6,7

Are we righteous? Do we sing and rejoice? Do we consider the cause of the poor and the downcast, and try to something about it?

In the unseen world, Satan and his henchmen , are trying to destroy our country.  Lets turn back to God and don't let them do it.

Thought For Today - January 26 - The Earth Is the Lord's

Thought For Today - January 26
 The Earth is the Lord's
By: Robert A. Searles


    Sometimes we become boastful of all that we are and of all that we possess, forgetting that our lives, our bodies, and all that we have belong to God, and have been entrusted to us by God to be used for his glory.

    Every thing and every living creature belongs to God. He has the sovereign right to do with it as he wills.

 "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." Psalm 24: 1-5

This disqualifies all of us: for no one can say that he has clean hands and hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, except, of course, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He only is perfectly clean and righteous, and he only is the door, and through him is the only way to enter into the presence of God and enjoy heaven eternally.

  Thought For Today - January 25
   Rejoice !


    "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright." Psalm33: 1
If we have acknowledged that we are sinners, and have called upon Christ to save us, we can consider ourselves to be righteous in the sight of God our father because Christ's righteousness has been imputed to us, and we have been declared righteous by God; therefore, we should be rejoicing and praising God continually.
    "Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song, play skillfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth." Psalm 33: 2-4
