But
Jesus was silent and made no reply. Then the high priest asked him, "Are
you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?" Jesus said, "I AM. And
you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand
and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Mark 14:61-62
Jesus was silent…and then He spoke, “I AM.” Recall what God spoke to Moses
at the Burning Bush when He was sending Moses to rescue the Hebrew people in
Egypt.
But Moses protested, "If I go to the
people of Israel and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,'
they will ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what should I tell them?" God
replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM
has sent me to you." Exodus 3:13-14

| Clouds over the Sea of Galilee - Israel |
Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven.
And everyone will see him—even those who pierced him. And all the nations of
the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen! Revelation 1:7
Everyone will see Him. What a day that will
be. The great I AM coming on the clouds. Everyone will bow down and worship Him.
Though he (Jesus) was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling
to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a
slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled
himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore,
God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all
other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on
earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:6-11
No need to wait until you see Jesus coming
in the clouds. You can confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and worship Him now.
Can you do that?
Prayer ~ Lord God, I love You with all of my
heart, soul, mind and strength. I hear the message…Jesus Christ will return in
the clouds…and every knee will bow down to worship Him. Show me what I need to
do to be spiritually ready for your return.

Friday’s
Feast at the King’s Table
As usual every Friday is Feast Day—Feasting at the King’s Table. We can’t
live on just spiritual food …nor can we live on bread alone. We’ve got to have
some meat, veggies, fruit and fat. Don’t forget the good fats!
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are
good for our bodies. Those contain antioxidants and actually help to lower
cholesterol. Some of the foods that contain monounsaturated fats include: olive
oil; avocados; nuts and seed—especially almonds, peanuts, and sunflower seeds;
olives; and even chocolate. Try to have a MUFA with each meal, such as 2
tablespoons natural peanut butter, ¼ cup avocado, no more than 10 olives, 2
tablespoons raw nuts, ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips, or 1 tablespoon olive
oil. Watch the serving size of your
MUFAs—the calories can add up and deter any weight loss you for which are
striving.
