Daily Bread - Dec 5th

With Jesus!

One thing I ask of the LORD;

this I seek:

To dwell in the house of the LORD

all the days of my life,

That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD

and contemplate his temple. (Psalms 27:4)

The LORD is my light and my salvation;

whom should I fear?

The LORD is my life’s refuge;

of whom should I be afraid? (Psalms 27:1)

Daily Bread - Dec 4th

The Wise Man.

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them

will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. 

The rain fell, the floods came,

and the winds blew and buffeted the house. 

But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. 

And everyone who listens to these words of mine

but does not act on them

will be like a fool who built his house on sand. 

The rain fell, the floods came,

and the winds blew and buffeted the house. 

And it collapsed and was completely ruined.” (Matt 7:24-27)

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’

will enter the Kingdom of heaven,

but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. (Matt 7:21)

"My heart is moved with pity for the crowd..." (Matt 15:32)

Great crowds came to him,

having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,

and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. (Matt 15:31)

The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,

the deformed made whole, 

the lame walking, 

and the blind able to see,

and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matt 15:30)

Lamb upon the Throne!

“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

but did not see it,

and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.” (Luke 10:23-24)

Be Alert!

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Be watchful! Be alert!

You do not know when the time will come.

It is like a man traveling abroad.

He leaves home and places his servants in charge,

each with his own work,

and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.

Watch, therefore;

you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming,

whether in the evening, or at midnight,

or at cockcrow, or in the morning.

May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.

What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’” (Mark 13:33-37)

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!

"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth."(Luke 21:34-35)

Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36)
