Day 8 A-Z Writitng Challenge

-

Good morning good folks blessed of GOD. I pray you have a grand and joyous day! Today is day 8 of the A-Z Writing Challenge and the Word for the day is idols.

The term idol is defined as worship of anything created that gets more glory than GOD in heaven. Anything that substitutes for God in your body and soul.




You see we are creations of GOD. We should serve and worship Him above all else. but in human frailty we turn to tangible things other than GOD. Just like when Moses went up on Mt Sinai to receive the ten commandments, Jesus went up to heaven. Weak humans as we all are, turn to idols to meet our needs with something we can see. 

See, one day when we least expect Jesus will return to take His bride and what will we be doing? More than likely we will be worship earthly idols.

The scriptures gives us many warnings. Here is just a few:  

Little Children guard yourself from Idols. 1 John 5:21

Flee from idolatry 1 Corinthians 10:14

Turn from idols to serve a living and true God, and TO WAIT for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that  is Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come just in the same way as you watched him go into heaven. Acts 1:11

There are many idols in this world. We must turn from our idols or those idols will crush us.

One day Jesus will part the clouds and return to this earth. Will He find us worshiping a idol? It is time to make a quality decision and trust God will come back for His children. Come quickly Lord Jesus and take us out of this corrupt world. For  it is in our weakness and waiting tht we should seek and find you! You are the strength of our lives and not some earthly idol...

Dear Jesus, please help us turn from all idols and serve you 100 percent.  You see that we are human and weak, please be our strength during our journey on this earth in this waiting time. Help us to refrain and abstain from any form or fashion from all idols that would present itselves in our lives. WE give you all glory you are the one we worship and adore, in Jesus name, Amen.

BE SET FREE from NEGATIVITY!!!

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
