Scriptures to Meditate on today !

Scriptures to Meditate on today !  It's February, the month that is dedicated as Black History Month, honoring the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout U.S. history, including the civil rights movement and their artistic, cultural and political achievements. To honor someone is to show him or her the respect and how much we value them. God wants us to honor one another in this life with love and truth. We know people are talking about Super Bowl LV (Buccaneers vs. Chiefs) right?  So, I would like to honor one of the Ex- NFL players # 60 of the Los Angeles Rams Center, who made $25 million dollars in 2009 and quit football to become a farmer. We honor Jason Brown the highest-paid center that played in the NFL in 2009. The story is so powerful for such a time as this in History. Now this young man is giving back to the less fortunate. After earning more than $25 million of that contract, Jason Brown is a farmer now, who is helping to feed the hungry. He walked away from the game being obedient to the (Holy Spirit) the voice of God. Get understanding first, whose speaking into your life ? "His agent told Him", 'You're making the biggest mistake of your life,'" Jason Brown told CBS. " He looked right back at the agent and He said, 'No I am not.'" Wow ! Mr. Jason Brown is doing this to help the less fortunate, a servant of the Lord.  For it is written in 1 Samuel 15:22, “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice,and to heed is better than the fat of rams. Mr Jason Brown grows sweet potatoes and other vegetables and donates his harvest to food pantries. According to the New & Observer, he has given away 46,000 pounds of sweet potatoes and 10,000 pounds of cucumbers this fall. Jason Brown went to school at the University of North Carolina. He had no idea how to farm back in 2012, he learned on YouTube. This story made me reflect on Noah's example of obedience, I thought about  in Genesis, God didn’t just tell Noah to build a boat; rather, God gave specific instructions on how the boat was to be built. God was preparing it to hold a specific number of animals along with Noah and his family. God is the beginning and the end of everything and everyone. Imagine the impact Noah’s obedience was to His family? For it is written in Romans 6:16, Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?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 "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,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. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, 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 ! This is my prayer for 2021, not my will, but "Your Will be done Lord".Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/
