God's Word is Ever Faithful

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."--John 1:1
Sunday’s gives the opportunity for each of us to praise and worship God. We give him thanks for the many blessings he has bestowed upon each of us this week. God continues to bless us as we have an opportunity here today to make a fresh start, for this is a day that the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it for it is a day of fresh starts and the prospect of new beginnings. We should begin each day with prayer because each day is a new beginning with its own opportunities. Right now, at this very moment, we are in the presence of a mighty and merciful God and has given each of us the possibility of making a new start in life. Seasons come and go, yet God's presence is ever faithful. No moment from the past can cloud the vision that God has for us. With God, all things truly are possible, and we must trust in God to guide us into a new and prosperous way of living our lives. We must first share our dreams and goals with God in prayer, and then allow his divine wisdom define them.

This is why I center myself in the presence of God during the time of prayer. God has provided us with all that we will ever need to live lives that he has destined for us. We are free to learn, and we are free to teach, and we are free to love one another and to be loved. We are free to live meaningful lives and to add meaning to the lives of others that they may see the light that God has placed in us. God’s love, mercy, power and grace has no limitation. God will open a greater understanding to his power and presence within you. There is nothing in all creation that exists outside the presence of God or that can separate you from the love of God.

When we study the life of Joseph we see God at work. Joseph was a young man favored by his Father, he had prophetic dreams, and was hated by his brothers, his brothers sold him into slavery, he was falsely arrested and sent to prison, he gained friends and favor in prison but was forgotten, he was able to interpret the king's dream, and was blessed as God promised in his dreams. Through all of this Joseph remained faithful to God and his word. The challenge for us, like Joseph is to let go of the flesh and let go of perceptions that we may have formed about the people in our lives. We must give those who do not know God, the opportunity to see the light he has planted in each of us. We must trust that God is using us to guide those who do not know him his word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." God is forever faithful to us! AMEN.

Happy New Year!

Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was a vast waste, darkness covered the deep, and the spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. God said: "Let there be light," and there was light; and God saw the light was good, and he separated the light from darkness. He called the light day, and the darkness night. So evening came, and morning came; it was the first day. The year 2007 is gone, finished, past. We cannot reclaim it or undo it. The New Year, like a newborn child, which is placed in our hands as the old year passes away. We cannot rest on the things it has brought us. The days and weeks to come are God's gift; they carry God's blessing and the time to show our faith in Jesus as Lord. Let's journey forward, knowing that God already inhabits the future and promises to provide us refreshment. My prayer for the year ending is that all that was good in it remain with us an all that was harmful be left behind. We...

Put All Your Trust In God!

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others. --Philippians 2:3-4 This past week, God blessed me to minister to my older sister in New Jersey. She called me because of a business deal that had not gone the way she had hoped. In short, a friend under cut the deal and gained the property in their own interest. For those who do not know my sister, she epitomizes this week's scripture. She is a wonderful person with a free and giving spirit. Over the years, I have and watched as she would give loans to family and friends many of these loans were never repaid. I can not recall one single instant where she has every asked for money back that she has given to me. She elected to stay in New Jersey to be close to our Mother, while the rest of us moved on and out of Newark, N.J. and til this day, I have never heard her complain or voice an...
