January 15, 2023 ~ January 2023 Devotions: "Radiant"

And so, I continue. . . 

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works.
  
Psalms 26:7 KJV

Jeremiah 31:11-12 ~ 11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. 12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.   KJV  

At this time in Israels History they have been scattered, but God wants Jeremiah to let the people know, they are not lost.  He knows right where they are! He knows every hair on the head of every human being that ever was. He is GOD. And I thank HIM every day for His goodness to me and mine. He knows where we are, He is the one that guided us there and He is the one that establishes our lives for His honor and glory. We are blessed because of His love for us. I am blessed whether I deserve it or not, and I really do not deserve anything special.  God's loving kindness proves He has the ability to love and care for us as no other can.

His providential provision follows us, even as we are "homeless". We are right now housed in a beautiful house of which our hostess just told us it is a house, but it is right now YOUR home, and I would be very unhappy if you did not use it as you would your own home. How much more blessed can we get? I'll tell you. The HOME of the Booher's became our sanctuary after a very hard time. It was very difficult for us physically, especially with both of us fighting the issues with our health. It was hard emotionally; we feel as if we have lost our dearest friend as well as our home. It was hard. It still is, but at this precious saints bidding to stay with her, we had access literally to the entire home and was told, "Be at home as if it were your very own. I am honored and thankful I can help in any way! This is the first time God has let me give a Preacher of the Gospel and his wife a place to rest." Blessed! God is preparing a place for all of His people. A home that no one can take away from us. For those that have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son, and taken Him as their own Saviour, we have a place in Heaven.  

Jesus Christ Himself told us in the book of John chapter 14:1-3 ~ 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 

I know I will be in the throng alive or dead, that will be one of those called up to be with Him forever. Can you say that? Make sure of your own salvation. Not anyone else's, until you are sure of yours!

HE CARES!

Do You Know HIM?

Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.

With love and prayers, 
May we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?

Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
