Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- God's Timing !

This week and weekend of the celebration of MLK'S DAY,  I have been writing about Faith, Trusting , Waiting, Hope and Timing in Christ Jesus ! Scriptures to Meditate on this weekend- God's Timing ! We can choose whether or not to have faith,trust and hope in waiting for God's timing. Our security comes from who we believe and trust, it's not in our feelings or needs. Understand, wherever your treasure is, your heart will follow. This means your treasure is Heavenly or in the earthly system.“You cannot serve two masters at the same time". For it is written in Matthew 6:19-24 ,"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. God knows what's really in our hearts. You say you love God, but the money makes you compromise and with God there is no compromising for anybody. It’s hard for a rich man to enter Heaven, this is God's Word. For it is written in Matthew 19:23-24, Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." That's a powerful message for those in the worldly system looking to be rich on earth. We have to be confident that we're sold out for Jesus Christ and righteousness. We'll see the goodness of the Lord one day soon. For it is written in Psalm 27:13-14, I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord;be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Don't be discouraged by the worldly system, Emmanuel is with us. Just over 2,000 years ago, Emmanuel ( Christ Jesus) changed the world, and He's going to do it again ! Let's look at a part of MLK'S speech, I believe Emmanuel was with him too. So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its Governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and before the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the mount with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the genuine discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, pray together; to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom forever, mowing that we will be free one day. And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California! But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!" God's Word, plan and purpose haven't changed. God's Word is the truth and we're waiting for His Will and His return, everyone will bow down to "HIM". For it is written in Philippians 2:9-11, Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father. Are you waiting, watching and praying ? For we should take to guarding against our adversary Satan the devil and his spiritual attacks daily.This is the Word of God, for it is written in Matthew 26:41,"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."God is and always will be with us. He is omnipresent, which means He is everywhere all the time. For it is written in Psalm 139:7-10,Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If you're a true believer in Christ Jesus, ask yourself, can you help somebody throughout the pandemic Covid 19 ? With some food, clothes, a word of encouragement, a word of hope or a little more love? If Jesus, humble Himself for us, we should certainly be humble towards others. We're servants of the Lord,  if you can help somebody today or tomorrow help them. Jesus served His disciples to draw them closer to Himself and to set an example for us to follow. For it is written in John 12:26, Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Are you following His example? The Word of God tells us to, Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith? Wait on the Lord and His timing, plan and purpose in everything. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8,  Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by the "Holy Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. We pray for Israel, our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, our local states and national leaders, the nation/nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.  Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/
