September 29, 2024

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday September 29TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

It’s the 5TH Sunday of the month, and for this edition of #SundayScripture I’m looking back on my ministry 16 years ago this Sunday – on September 28TH 2008. That was back when I was barely in my 3RD year on this fantastic journey – at the young age of 41.

You know – when I look back at my early blog posts from that era – I frequently smile, and chuckle, and even outright LOL. At times this blog was immature and juvenile, but then so were many of my readers at the time. I just didn’t know any better.

I did write this though 16 years ago after church on that Sunday:

When we drift into a crisis of faith or belief – a ‘dip’ if you will – we need to react appropriately to get ourselves out of that dip and back onto the straight and narrow again on His fantastic journey for us. We must remember what He has done for us in the past. We must accept what He is doing for us right now. We must trust what He will do for us in the future. We must believe in Him, for He is the only solution.

Habakkuk (3:17-19, NLT 2ND Ed.)
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines. Even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren. Even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord ! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation ! The Sovereign Lord is my strength ! He makes me as surefooted as a deer – able to tread upon the heights.

(I think I knew what I was preaching about back then.)

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord, and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
