Reflections Of A Life Time John 8:12

Light is giving for all to see
but we cannot see when we are in the dark and don't look for the light!

Reflections Of A Life Time Psalms 31:3

Life is like a play the only differance you can choose your director!

Psalms 31:3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Reflections Of A Life Time Ex 20:1-17

If there are Ten Commandments
Then how can you have one missing!?
Ex 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Ex 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's

Is the light on?

Is the light on?
When you are in a dark room the first thing you do is reach for is the light switch. It only make scence to do so.If you are in a dark tunnel you always follow the light to find your way out. Weather it is a flashlight or a light bulb as your source of light.They can only help in your vision.What About Your spiritial life.When your down to your last hope everything is closing in on you.Everything seems so dark.Everything and everyone seems to be wrong to you.You've tried the world and it seems there is nothing out there to make you
happy.Money,cars,material things only keep you singing a happy tune for a moment.
A loved one has abandon you leaving you alone.No one seems to care your a nice person but but everyone seems to make you feel horriable about youself.Everyone seems to lie,and decieve you.The world is so cold and dark you think about suicide.And at that very moment you have two choices you one you can end it all or two you reach out to something you cry out to God not knowing what your saying at the time it just feels that's what you need to say.It echos out of your heart.Tears flows down your face you call on God in your dark time.

Psalms 120:1-2
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Light seems to shine in vast darkness around you once there was hopelessness now hope.

Genesis 1:1-31
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day

What it is saying here God stepped into darkness and he said let there be light.Once everything was dark and void in your life.Now the light interveined Jesus stepped in.

PSALM 27:1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

PSALM 36:9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

PSALM 56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

PSALM 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

ISAIAH 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

ISAIAH 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee

MATTHEW 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

JOHN 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

JOHN 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
JOHN 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

JOHN 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him

Question would you follow other people in the dark to get a way out or would you follow the light you see?
Something I want to add sometimes we flicker with the light just like a kid playing with a light switch.Stepping foward stepping backwards till we blow the fuse greiving the Holy Spirit.

JOHN 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

REVELATION 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

The light is on we must open our eyes and see would you like to see.

REVELATION 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,Amen.

Is the light on? Can you see it? Is the spirit compelling you to get it right with the Lord?

WORD OF THE DAY Isaiah 66:22-23

WORD OF THE DAY Isaiah 66:22-23

YOU HAVE TO CROSS TO GET TO THE FATHER

Everyone knows that in order to get across a river you have to build a bridge to get across it. If you try without it you will fall. In our selfish ways we try to swim across thinking we can do it by ourselves. But sometimes the current can be to much and even the God with mercy throws us a life line in despite of ourselves. That life line is Jesus!
When Moses was at the sea!
EXODUS 14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.22And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
The waters were parted and on dry ground they went across. God sets us up a pathway in our lives. We need to take heed and cross with out fear and doubt.
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me
We need to forget about the walls around us and follow were Jesus leads.
MARK 1O:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast,and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the CROSS, and follow me
Let's not worry about anything in our life nothing is more valuable than the cross. Let us take it up daily.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
The only way to get to the our Father is to cross.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In 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.
3And 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 remember when I was a child me and my friend was riding our bikes having the time of our lives just going all over the place. We happen to go through some trails I ride across a hill going downward. My friend tries to tell me it was risky going down there and not to go. I would not listen so I take on off down the hill rolling down then all of the sudden I hit a rock. I fly off the bike as I look I can see a real shallow creek. As fell all I could think of was me falling in the creek I was real close to falling in. But there was a bridge that kept me from falling in that creek full of rocks. As I landed on the bridge I notice I landed in some mess. Being a horse trail you can guess what it was. But under the mess was the bridge.
We will land in some mess from time to time but the bridge is still there. Grace is still there. To keep us from falling in the shallow creeks in life. We can cross out all our worries all our fears.
We can cross out all our sins.
All we have to do is cross.
Come across to Jesus!
John 14:5-6
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Shall we Cross!!!!!
