“Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:3-12

May God bless you and all that enter here.

THE NEW EDEN Part 3

Man has spent eternity
watching the sun, the moon and stars
Now, we’re ruled by timeclocks
Try to catch up with our cars

Instead of serving God
we truly help ourselves
Without caring for our neighbor
we sit upon the shelf

We serve not by donations
or government profound
Slow down your life, forget
the clock, and take a look around

We must protect each other
Take each day as it comes
Uplift and love our brothers
and open up our homes

We have a common purpose
to truly honor God,
Eliminate the darkness
Where evil has trod

When we honor The Father
and respect this Holy Land,
we will know the healing touch
of His gentle loving hand Amen

We each have a job here, and our own burdens to carry.
But, with God in our hearts, and truth on our side, we can
make a difference.

Journeys
I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. —Philippians 1:12

On a map in the back of my Bible, each of Paul’s missionary journeys is shown by a colored line with arrows indicating his direction of travel. On the first three, the arrows lead away from his place of departure and back to a point of return. On the fourth journey, however, Paul was traveling as a prisoner, bound for trial before Caesar, and the arrows point only one direction, ending in Rome.

We might be tempted to call this an unfortunate time in Paul’s life, if it were not for his view that God was leading and using him just as much on this journey as He did on the previous three.

He wrote: “I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear” (Phil. 1:12-14).

Even when our journey in life is marked by confinement and limitations, we can be sure that the Lord will encourage others through us as we speak His Word and trust in Him.

The journeys that we take in life,
Though unexpected they may be,
If we commit to follow Christ,
His work through us the world will see. —Sper

For the Christian, what looks like a detour may actually be a new road to blessing.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 140-142; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20
