What does Jesus desire?

Our God is not like us.
He delights in His unchanging love.

Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness
And relenting of evil.

Focus on Jesus.

He is the One who saves you, indeed He makes all things right.

And will always seek to guide you in the right way.

He is filled with grace, His compassion overflows.

Every thought He has for you is a thought for good.

Love others.

OCT. 30 – ISA. 45:9

10/30          Isaiah 45:9

9 “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
    Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
    ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
    ‘How clumsy can you be?’

WHAT?

Would you argue with God?

Would you question your maker?

Do you really think that the Lord God Almighty needs your input?

Serve the Lord with gladness.

Praise His Holy name. 

Jesus is Lord!

Pray for your enemies. 

Help the poor. 

Be Jesus to a watching world.

Lord, You deserve all the glory. 

I do not. 

I seek to glorify you, Father.

You are Lord and there is no other.

To You is all the glory unto eternity.

Praise God, He is Lord all by Himself.

God gave His very best-Himself.

He did what we could not do-save ourselves.

So much that crowns them with His victory.  

God is love.
