Good Saturday to all and GOD bless!   I pray all are doing well.  Another gorgeous day here, ty Jesus.

Opened to Luke this morning, so will share some things from it, I hope that something you read this day has meaning for you and helps you in some way.

The pages today talk of the time when Jesus was a child and He and his parents had gone into Jerusalem.  Upon leaving, his parents had lost track of him and assumed he was with the crowd departing.  After three days they found him teaching in the temple, to the amazement of the people gathered there.  They told him how they had been very anxious and why he treated them so.  To which He replied,
"How is it that you sought Me?  Did you not know that I must be about in My Father's house?"
Luke 2:49

The meaning I get here is him asking us why we worry or get anxious, thinking he abandoned us.  He is and always is with us and about doing his Father's business.  GOD's house is everywhere.

The pages also tell of John preaching baptism for the repentance and forgiveness of sins...Luke 3:3

Then a reminder of what Isaiah told us...
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness:  Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.  Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of GOD.......Luke 3:4-6

Opening to this now a stark reminder of what the time is now n this world.  Prepare yourselves.

Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.....Luke 3:9

Thomas 24:  Mary says to Jesus:  "Who are your disciples like?"  He says to her:  "They are like little children who have made their way into a field that does not belong to them.  When the owners of the field come, they will say:  'get out of our field!'  They will give up the field to these people and let them have their field back again."

Thomas 25:  "That is why I tell you this:  If the master of the house knows that the thief is coming, he will watch before he comes and will not allow him to force and entry into his royal house to carry off its furniture.  You then, be on the watch against the world.  Gird your loins with great energy, so that the brigands do not find any way of reaching you; for they will find any place you fail to watch."

Here He speaks of the darkness.  Guard yourself for they know all your weaknesses.  I can attest to that.  These weakness they attack trying to pull you off focus, path, task.  Just as an enemy seeks to attack the weaknesses in your defense works.  Be vigilant and always ask Jesus for help.

Thomas 26:  "Let there be among you a prudent man:  when the fruit arrived, quickly, sickle in hand, he went and harvested it.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

The Lord paid a heavy price for the peace that is a gift to us.  Receive the gift of peace when you trust in Him during the tough times.  When things are going well, do not turn from Him.  Give thanks in times of trial for many times they are a blessing behind the trial.  Bad things will happen each day in the world, give thanks for avoiding them and for surviving them.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds...James 1:2

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world.".....John 16:33


GOD Bless and have a wonderful weekend.
