Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!

One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!

We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...

IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!

MATTHEW 5:48...
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect

1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."

ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!

LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!

It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!

MATTHEW 4: 17...From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

JOHN 14:15..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it... TO *GOD* BE ALL GLORY...

PRAY, SHINE, PRAY, INSPIRE, PRAY, PRAISE, PRAY, WORSHIP, PRAY, REJOICE!!!

We NEED to be PRAYING, and PRAYING, and PRAYING! EVERY single person who can, should be PRAYING---

Since LOVE is NOT the way of the world, what is not of LOVE IS increasing, which is also, stoking and inflaming the wrath of *GOD*! ALL of us who understand TRUTH, OUGHT to be extending HIM, LOVE, and fruits of the spirit, while PRAYING as much, and as often as is feasible, because the world IS lost, and is becoming more troubled all the while! It IS OUR role in HIS WILL to STAND IN LOVE, HOPE, PEACE, as we exist in what is right, just, and good no matter what, AND to SHARE HIM, and HIS LOVE with others, THAT there IS a FORWARDING of all which is of *GOD*!!!

There IS GREAT turmoil around us; there IS more indication of the NEED FOR THE LORD, and LOVE everywhere; it IS URGENT that we bow our heads, LIFT our hands, and PRAYERS; we ARE as the strands which STRENGTHEN the ropes of HOPE!!!

We MUST recognize, then acknowledge OUR place IN HIS WILL, and UTILIZE EVERY empowerment we HAVE received OF HIM FOR the good of others, because the days ARE proving enmity! We exist TO SERVE HIM, then others; it IS FOR HIS GLORY, THAT what IS OF HIM IS SHOWN to the world, then PROMOTED so as to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, and POINT ALL to THE WAY!!!

Let us PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY; let us SHINE OF HIM; let us BE, and DO all which is right, just, and good, as we RELY ON HIM, and plead with HIM on behalf of many! We ARE NEEDED in this hour, in this day which HE HAS GIVEN FOR the return of whom MIGHT seek HIM! We ARE NECESSARY TO ENLIGHTENING the masses TO TRUTH, and THE BLESSED PROMISES! Let us take up our purpose IN HIS WILL, with all the courage, and capabilities HE invokes in us!!!

THE LIGHT IS VISIBLE OVER the darkness, and we ARE ONE with LIGHT; let us RADIATE OF HIM as we have never done before; it IS IMPERATIVELY pertinent!!!
