God Will Erase All Remembrance of the Wicked from the Earth  ('27 Reasons' #375)

10/2/2016

Crime, violence, murder, deceit— not a day goes by when my life is not AFFECTED by some of the horrible results of sin.

I read about it in the paper... I see it online... we hear it from friends, and family, and co-workers. But do we REALLY stop to consider what our lives will be like when we cannot remember a single bit of it, or even know it ever existed? I honestly have to strain my imagination to just begin to imagine a whole day... a whole week... a whole month... without a single discouraging bit of news.

Whew!  What an amazing promise!— but is it 'too good to be true'?  No, because God said it! In Psalm 34:16 we read "The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth."

No matter how dark the crime, or how vile the person, may we keep our faith intact in the surety of God's promise:  That time is coming soon when God will "create a new heaven and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." (Isa. 65:17).

I Can Build for Eternity !   (Reason #462)

Many years ago I owned a small cabinet shop. I loved the work, but after some years I found myself dissatisfied about one particular thing. Just as soon as we would get the kitchen or furniture or whatever TOTALLY COMPLETED, with the finishing touches on everything, we would load up our tools, sweep up, drive away, and probably never see it again! ...

I Can Reflect Praise to My Maker   (Reason #201)

What should I do, when someone sincerely praises me? Should I disagree, pretending that what I did has no merit?  Should I change the subject, letting things cower toward an awkward silence?

Many decades ago, before I had really faced these questions, I built a large set of oak kitchen cabinets for a county fairgrounds teaching facility. After the job was completed, one of the committee ladies who had ordered them complimented me on the workmanship.

God's Word declares that He
  • spoke into existence each of the Billions of stars
  • has a special Name for each one
  • heard them Singing together during the Creation moments.

And yet, He sees every sparrow that falls, and can guide me through everything I face.

"Lord, help me to remember that truly You are with me
, and that, even in Your great big universe, I am precious to You, and I am 'humbly invincible' within Your will."

Are you making a "post-bucket list" of all the things you would like to do AFTER you die?  I have a few things on mine:

1. I'm hoping to speak to A
LL my Bible heroes— King David, the apostle John, Noah, and so many more. Fact: "If you have a limited number of persons in an eternal situation, logic says that you will have plenty of time to talk to each one of them, and to every combination of them, an INFINITE number of times!  WHEW! Wrap that!

Introduction to my "27 Reasons" Posts

A Free E-Book for Your Encouragement!

In June of 2013 my wife Janice and I moved from Michigan, to Berks County, Pennsylvania.

As we spent our first month here in our small, temporary (we thought), home, I began meditating on some of the reasons I have to be really glad for God’s provision, His protection, and His “exceding great and precious promises.” 

For many years we have nurtured a daily habit of reading through the Scriptures, using various versions of the One-Year Bibles. I decided that every time I came across an especially-meaningful promise, or a really- encouraging thought, I would just jot it down. 

Then I got to wondering if other folks might  be encouraged if I would share my “gladnesses” with them. I could add fitting photos to the first “27 Reasons” in my list, and help brighten up other people's days too.

Today—two years and more than 300 Reasons later— this first little collection goes forth.

Don’t rush through it too quickly. Each “gladness” holds a promise or principle that will help change our lives for the better!  

How I wish I had understood more of these soul-freeing truths when I was first a child of God!
