How in the world could we exchange a beautiful walk and fellowship with ALMIGHTY GOD who in His beauty and glory created all the creation for any other walk or seeking or pleasure in this world?....We must be crazy, short sighted, deceived, shallow in understanding, or our hearts are made of a fools substance...Whats wrong with us folks? How could any of us change out what God is offering to us all for the taste of pancakes.....?
And the devil took them and showed them all the kingdoms of this world and all these careers, entertainments, all its glory, pleasures, and splendor and applause and whispered to their minds saying....All this will I give you..If you...If you...If will do as I desire and my desire is this for you...Do What You Will and not what God wants.
Somehow we all need to break-thru this downward spiral of faith and insight and begin to see the real worth of the Pearl of incredible value. WHO WANTS TO REALLY KNOW AND WALK WITH GOD, the LIVING ALMIGHTY GOD?????
What we love and what we are interested in and what we really cherish in our heart is where we are found and is where we all spend our time.
Israel of old exchanged out the Living God that showed them his love in signs and in great wonders of deliverance for a golden calf. They changed God out so often for idols that they dreamed up and carved out of their own minds misled imaginations. The scriptures says that the heavens were in shock and in stunning awe about this. Are we doing a similar thing today friends?
Where is our heart today? Chasing rabbits? Chasing kicks? or Chasing after the heart of He That Is Called Wonderful, the Prince of Peace, The Everlasting Father, The mighty Counselor. Almighty God, Perfect Love, The Beauty and The Glory of Israel ?
God wants our love and attention and fellowship so badly. HE CRAVES US and our attention and yet we burp Him a prayer now and then when we think about it or gasp one out right before we fall asleep at the end of the day. We give Him our crumbs, our leftovers, our scraps, our spot, wrinkled and blemished offerings, our rusted tin instead of the pure gold and the BEST of our hearts, time, and lives that GOD SO DESERVES....GOD HELP US OVERCOME OUR MADNESS.
How much is the Lord in our DAILY CONVERSATION? How much is the Lord in our minute to minute thoughts? Or do we look at God as someone we can USE in hope to get to and consume up this world instead of us denying ourselves and taking up our Cross daily being dead to this worlds course so that we can love and fellowship and serve the LIVING GOD AND RISEN CHRIST.?
........In our scripture pic, Jesus told them, Children Come and Dine...Do you know they could have said no? Did you know they could have refused the invite? Had they refused, they would have missed out on all the good that the Lord himself HAD ALREADY PREPARED for them and FOR THEIR LIFE. (Hello). The Joy and the walk with God and Jesus Christ that the Lord went to the Cross to give us is just to WONDERFUL to exchange out for this worlds pancakes.

The Lords GOOD HABIT.....deno.....share freely.
Read these few verses completely and you will see that our Lord had a GOOD HABIT....It was his often custom * Addiction...If he saw it needful to have this good habit, surely we should also...
Luke 5:12-16 International Standard Version (ISV)
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
12 One day, while Jesus[a] was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
13 So Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do want to. Be clean!” Instantly the leprosy left him. 14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as proof to the authorities.” 15 But the news about Jesus[e] spread even more, and many crowds began gathering to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. 16 However, he continued his HABIT of going and getting away to deserted places and praying....Jesus spent much time with the Father in the fellowship of prayer....

A person said, No where in the bible can we see the celebration of Christmas...This was my reply......deno....share freely.
A person said, no where in the bible do we see the celebration of Christmas...My reply was this... The night Christ was born the angels praised God and spoke glad tidings of great joy that our Savior that night was born....The sky was full of them saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and goodwill to men. Those angels were celebrating THE DAY of the birth of Christ and they were sharing their good news with men to bring men in on the celebration.
It was a special night when God was born into our world as a child. The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us.
It does not grieve the Lord when we do things in REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.
Personally I love Christmas and everything about Christmas.We celebrate Christmas in remembrance of our Lord and his birth on earth. It is a time of remembrance. A time of celebrating our Saviors birth. A time we celebrate and give and share in giving gifts to one another as God gave to us His gift, the gift of Christ His Son.
Yea but Deno, the 25th of December used to be a pagan day. Well your right, but even so our hearts and spirits used to belong to Satan, but because we received Christ, God filled our hearts and spirits with Himself even though our hearts used to be Satan's territory. It's not what it used to be that counts but what NOW IS in Christ. So if a heart that was once Satan's can now belong to God, surely a day that has no soul that once belonged to a lifeless pagan can now be a day that belongs to Jesus where we celebrate Christ our Lord.
Yes the 25th of December centuries ago was a pagan day for many, but to us we fill that same day with something NEW....We celebrate on that day our Saviors birth, and we now fill that day with our praise and thanksgiving to God for Jesus Christ. On Christmas day we celebrate in REMEMBRANCE, THE BIRTH OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOR....MERRY CHRISTMAS.....deno.
God is making His move in America......deno.....share freely.
When things get dry, God pours out upon the thirsty ones His living water. And when things seem hopeless, God redeems his people with His divine interventions. And when things get so dark, He causes light to spring up that puts a dance of restored faith in our hearts believing like a refreshing second wind. We have now entered into some of this grace in America.....
