365 Prayers to JESUS

Jesus, there is a “Peace” as I start my morning and write the Name “JESUS”! Lord I thank You for asking me two simple questions when I started my Journey to You. Just two simple questions that when I truly answer them, they have been a Guiding Light and a Shelter in the Time of Storm. Lord, I do believe that You are the Son of God, the Savior, the Christ and I have supreme confidence that the Power that has been given by the Father to the Son is the same Power that surrounds even the spoken Name of Jesus! Lord Jesus, I feel Your Mercy and Grace when I speak or write the Name of Jesus and I praise You that You so freely bestow Your Grace on “whosoever” calls upon the Name of the Lord! JESUS, JESUS, JESUS. 

The Jesus Questions

JQ#2 - Yesterday to introduce JQ#2 the Holy Spirit brought to my mind Romans 8:37 where Paul had declared one of the Gospel’s main TRUTH that Christians that depend on Jesus the Christ who demonstrated the Great Love of God by being Obedient to the Father’s command and suffered the Cross for our sakes, are “more than conquerors”. Paul also reminded Christians that this victory over “all things” and powers of this world comes only through Jesus and that Jesus was motivated by the “love of God”. How can we claim to have any victory apart from God? God has established the “Right Way” and the “Wrong Way” and they are as constant and unchanging as God Himself. We see that as man “progresses” through time that the only constant of man is that each generation and the greatest of men all “fall short of the Glory of God” and that God and His Laws are as Eternal and Unchanging as the rising and the setting of the sun God has placed in His Universe to remind us daily that we are just a small planet in the midst of more stars than even our greatest scientists can count! Surely with all our intelligence that man can see that the best efforts of all our most brilliant minds put together cannot even unravel even the smallest of God’s Infinite Unchanging Glory. Yet we are arrogant enough to want to declare God as irrelevant and we insist on going it alone? Why our selfishness drives us to such self inflicted agony cannot be explained aside from the reality of our world that we ignore God, who from the very beginning established all the Laws of the Physical Universe. God also established all the Spiritual Laws of the Universe as well! It can be observed by mankind that the Spiritual Realm does exist. We seem to ignore the fact that the Spiritual Realm has a greater effect on the Physical Realm than vice versa. It is a part of observational science to conclude that unhappy, dissatisfied, and angry people cause more harm to themselves and others around them than do happy, content, and loving people. All these “motivators” are emotions and even our courts express the consequence of expressing ourselves physically relative to our spiritual states. Realize that God is the Creator of all things and that there are Spiritual Laws and Physical Laws that are undeniably interwoven by the Creator. There is a reason God continuously commands us “to love” and “not to fear”. Think on your emotions as you try to answer JQ#2 — Matthew 5:45,46,47 and God will guide you in your thinking and I’m betting you’re going to “love” it!
