8/27            Job 1:6

6 One day the members of the heavenly court[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan,[b] came with them.

DIFFICULT

This is difficult for us to understand.

How does this happen?

It happened because the Lord God Almighty permitted Satan to be there. 

Sin is an adversary we cannot fight without the Holy Spirit. 

We are flesh. 

Satan is spirit.

We fight by faith.

We win by our faith in Jesus.

We are on Holy ground-let us persevere.

Let us press on toward the upward calling in Jesus Christ. 

8/26            Colossians 1:16

16 for through him God created everything
    in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
    and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
    Everything was created through him and for him.

ALWAYS

Jesus was always with God.

He was the Creative Force in the Universe.

He came to earth to pay the price of our sin.

He did because He loves us.

By faith we can know Him. 

Surrender-Believe-Jesus is our Savior. 

Turn to Him and you will find your way. 

8/25            Psalm 148:1-5

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens!
    Praise him from the skies!
2 Praise him, all his angels!
    Praise him, all the armies of heaven!
3 Praise him, sun and moon!
    Praise him, all you twinkling stars!
4 Praise him, skies above!
    Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!
5 Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,
    for he issued his command, and they came into being.

PRAISE

Praise the Lord everything,

Including me.

Praise the Lord.

HE loves me and you,

Praise the Lord.

Praise Him with all my being.

Praise Him-Praise Jesus-Praise you Holy Spirit. 

8/24            Hebrews 2:2

2 For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.

COMPLETE

HIS word is complete in every way. 

He is Lord and we are not. 

Praise the Lord for His great love for us. 

Praise the Lord that He birthed us into His kingdom in Christ. 

We love you Lord. 

8/23            Job 38:4-7

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
    Tell me, if you know so much.
5 Who determined its dimensions
    and stretched out the surveying line?
6 What supports its foundations,
    and who laid its cornerstone
7 as the morning stars sang together
    and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

WHERE

I wasn’t there.

I have no clue.

I’ve talked about things I didn’t know about.

Forgive me Lord.

I bend my knee to you.

You Lord are King of the Universe.

You know all things. 

Forgive me.

Take control of my life.

And give me life, in Christ.  Amen. 

8/22            Galatians 3:19

19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

CHILD

The Son of God was coming.

He would be the Messiah.

He would turn his people from their sin.

He would provide forgiveness and reconciliation for God and man.

We would become part of God’s family-His children.

Jesus the Messiah would be our elder brother. 

Praise God who came to us in the flesh.

Praise God for He is always good and He loves us. 

Praise God. 

8/21            Acts 7:53

53 You deliberately disobeyed God’s law, even though you received it from the hands of angels.”

SIN

Sin grabs our mind.

It pulls us away from God.

We do it willingly.

It darkens our minds.

Confess sin quickly and learn to not do it again.

When you do, stop sinning, repent, return to God. 

8/20            Hebrews 1:14

14 Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.

MESSENGERS

Angels, God’s messengers do only what the Lord tells them to do.

Yes, the Saved have an angel watching over them,

But do not pray to angels, they will ignore you!

Pray to God, He is in charge.

The angels do what He says. 

8/19            1 Peter 3:22

22 Now Christ has gone to heaven. He is seated in the place of honor next to God, and all the angels and authorities and powers accept his authority.

MAN

Only man and the fallen angels ignore God.

His greatness is evident everywhere.

All creation trembles longingly for His return.

Only man ignores the signs of the times. 

Do so at your risk, Jesus is coming back,

To take His children home. 

8/18            Psalm 32:8

8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
    I will advise you and watch over you.

HELP

The Lord God Almighty offers help for living. 

He will help us with our life.

There is no standard formula to follow, we just focus on Jesus.

We do that by reading the Word of God,

Praying to the Lord God, and

Listening as He guides us every perilous step of the way,

Until we are at home with Him.
