"AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS"

Matthew 28:20

One morning I stood on the bluffs overlooking the coast at Camp Pendleton. I spied an amphibious naval vessel just off shore. As I stood watching, it came into full view, then disappeared as the early morning fog came and went. The ship was always there, but it was only visible part of the time.

It spoke to me of the reality of God's presence. The truth is God is always there, but our changing moods affect our ability to see. It's good days and bad days again, or would you believe, it can change moment by moment. In the times when vision is less clear, it's truly faith that helps us see and enables us to believe enough to keep trying.

So, live by faith. Trust in the Lord and keep looking ahead. God is with us in the confusion of life.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Did you and Blue have an adventure today? Hit the road?

We did indeed!
After my brother came and put asecond coat of plaster on the sheet rock, and fixed the broken drain pipe under my house, I hopped on Blue and rode about a hundred miles. There were’t too many yard sales, but I did pick up some cd’s.

Tomorrow is a big day, with the 50th Anniversary of the founding of my little church, and, later, a baby shower for my neice.

Busy, Busy, Busy.

[mountainlion]

I am afraid that we are going to be in for a rough time in the next few weeks.
we do need to remember who is in charge and trust him.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! My preview showed correctly but the code got eaten. Somewhere there is a missing < center > 😂

But I couldn't find it. And I was late. I was working on a work project and didn't set an alarm.

Sooo...your eyesight is just fine. 😎

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

I am with you about rough weeks ahead. And you are so right...we must remember who is in charge and trust Him.

Do you still have summer? It was 37 here this morning. No wonder I was cold.

[Jet Jaguar]

Howdy Ma! I have one day left. I start terminal leave on Tuesday. I guess I have to go find a real job. Feels really uncomfortable.

[mountainlion]

It was 37 here this morning. No wonder I was cold.

It was nice and cool this morning then got to 80. Fall is in the air.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list August 29

The Power of the Gospel

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 126–128
• 1 Corinthians 10:19–33

I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

Romans 1:15

Ancient Rome had its own version of “the gospel”—the good news. According to the poet Virgil, Zeus, king of the gods, had decreed for the Romans a kingdom without end or boundaries. The gods had chosen Augustus as divine son and savior of the world by ushering in a golden age of peace and prosperity.

This, however, wasn’t everyone’s idea of good news. For many it was an unwelcome reality enforced by the heavy hand of the emperor’s army and executioners. The glory of the empire was built on the backs of enslaved people who served without legal personhood or property at the pleasure of masters who ruled over them.

This was the world in which Paul introduced himself as a servant of Christ (Romans 1:1). Jesus—how Paul had once hated that name. And how Jesus Himself had suffered for admitting to being the king of the Jews and Savior of the world.

This was the good news Paul would explain in the rest of his letter to the Romans. This gospel was “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes” (v. 16). Oh, how it was needed by those who suffered under Caesar! Here was the news of a crucified and resurrected Savior—the liberator who conquered His enemies by showing how much He loved them.

Reflect & Pray

As you read Paul’s opening words to the Romans, what phrases describe the good news to you? (1:1–7). Why would Paul, who had once hated Jesus so much, now want everyone to believe in Him? (see Acts 26).

Loving God, thank You for the good news. Give me the boldness to share the gospel with those around me.

I shared with a fellow FReeper via email.

I will retire.

It will be
26 years at retirement. It was time, my body is riddled with arthritis and other things. I am beat.

I also needed to get out after all this woke bullshit started permeating the military.

I cannot serve under biden and his inept decisions.

I will add, when I received a question of if I would accept a retirement certificate from Trump, I said I would be honored to and would actually prefer it.

My secretary said we have not received any CIC letters with signature from biden at this point.

I thought that interesting. I think you know know what I’m talking about but it has to do with Thomas Wictor’s theory.
