January 19, 2025

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 19TH 2025, 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.

Last Sunday morning I drove 3+ hours – straight to my former home church in Homestead Florida (Living Waters Full Gospel Church). I setup all of the electronic devices and equipment, I sang with two others for Praise & Worship (3 songs), and then I preached my sermon on King Solomon and his God-given wisdom. Everything worked out perfectly, and the sermon was well-received. I prayed about that during much of the 3+ hour drive southward. God be the Glory.

Normally the sermons are presented LIVE (and forever thereafter) on the church’s Facebook page, and it’s done so via iPad, but I filled-in for both the Lead Pastor and the Worship Pastor who were both out. So – no iPad and no Facebook video. I may eventually transcribe my sermon here on #SundayScripture (as I’ve done with 9 previous sermons).

I drove back home to Sebring the very next morning. It was my quickest turnaround between Homestead and Sebring ever. This past week it was back to business in my neighborhood, at the museum, and at my home church (Highlands Community Church). As I preached last Sunday morning – I need God’s wisdom in everything I do and everywhere I go.

Proverbs 3:13-20:
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom – the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths. All her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her. Happy are those who hold her tightly. By wisdom the Lord founded the earth. By understanding he created the heavens. By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the dew settles beneath the night sky.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, 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.
