Memory Verse of the Week ~
Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you
everything you need. Matthew 6:33
Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its
branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In
the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very
near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass
from the scene until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will
disappear, but my words will never disappear. Matthew 24:32-35

| Forsythia blooming in my yard. Spring is here! |
This is Spring. Trees are budding and
leaves are beginning to show. The days are cool…but here in the Tri-Cities of
Washington State we will be in the 60’s (degrees F) all next week. The leaves
on the trees will really begin to show with the sunshine instead of snow.
Summer
is near…but in the southern hemispheres winter is approaching. Do they read and
focus on this scripture the same way…at the same time…that we do in the
northern hemisphere?
Jesus wasn’t concerned about the season…but about the
truth of the political situations, epic natural disasters, and deception that
would warn people of His second coming…of the rapture and His return. He kept
repeating…be ready…don’t be deceived. That is the same message for today. Open
your eyes—see what is happening in the world and don’t allow yourselves to be
duped and misled. Discern the truth.
Jesus never lied…He IS the Truth.
Jesus told him (His disciple, Thomas), "I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your mind
free from fear—for the deceiver wants to defeat you and cause you to be afraid.
Of what are you afraid? Dying? Living? Loving?
Because God's children are human beings—made
of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human
being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil,
who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have
lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. Hebrews 2:14-15
Continue to seek Jesus first in your life.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
Prayer ~ Jesus, You are the way…to heaven,
the truth…for You are God and cannot lie, and the life…that gives us eternal
life. I praise You. I want to live in a way…righteously…that brings glory to
You. Thank You for providing everything I need.
