TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."

--Luke 21:33

In today's verse, Jesus promises us that His Words are eternal. This means not one jot, not one title, not one mark, not one abbreviation point...not one word will pass away!

God's Word is infallible. In all that it teaches and all it affirms, it is correct and right and perfect. And the Word of God is inerrant. That is, there are no errors in the Scripture. Can you imagine a perfect, pure God breathing out error? Certainly not! God's Word is accurate!

Now, when people deny the authority of Scripture, they deny the authority of God. It's as simple as that. In effect, when they deny or distort the authority of Scripture, they deny and blaspheme the work of the Holy Spirit in giving us the Scriptures.

They even defame the deity of Jesus Christ, who is described in the Bible as the incarnate Word of God. His very name is the Word of God! And while the Word of God and the God of the Word are not identical, they are inseparable. You cannot separate God from His Word. Even Jesus came believing and teaching and preaching the Word of God, affirming the Old Testament and proclaiming the new and the living way of salvation.

That's why you can trust the Bible through and through. From the very beginning of Genesis when God created the heavens and the earth until the closing chapters of the Revelation, we have the Word of God...consistent, clear, and concise...telling us how to go to heaven, how to know Jesus Christ, how to experience eternal life, how to know and worship God.

This is the Word of God! And you can trust it as your ultimate authority of life and truth!

YOU CAN TRUST THE BIBLE THROUGH AND THROUGH AS IT IS THE VERY WORD OF GOD.

GOOD DAY TO YOU

Rev. A. G. Guerrero sent me this very inspiring article.

CHECK UP

I went to the Lord's Clinic to have my routine check-up and confirmed I was ill.

When Jesus took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness
When He read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40 degrees of anxiety.
He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several "love bypasses" since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.
I went to orthopedics because I could not walk by my brother's side and I could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy.

He also found I was short-sighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters.

When I complained about deafness, the diagnostic was that I had stopped listening to Jesus' voice talking to me on a daily basis.

For all of that, Jesus gave me a free consultation, thanks to His mercifulness so my pledge is to once I leave the clinic, only take the natural remedies

He prescribed through His words of truth …..

1. Every morning take a full glass of gratitude
2. When getting to work, take one spoon of peace
3. Every hour take one pill of patience, 1 cup of brotherhood and 1 glass of humility
4. When getting home, take 1 dose of love
5. When getting to bed, take 2 caplets of clear conscience
6. Do not give in to sadness or desperation for what you are going through today

God knows how you feel.

God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.

God's purpose for you is simply perfect.

He wants to show you things that only YOU can understand by living what you are living and by being in the place you are now.
