Bible Reading for Today! Hi my brother and sisters in Christ. Today i am sharing a few verses from my King James Bible from Psalm 119Psalm 119:1-10King James Version 119  Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. 2  Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3  They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 4  Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 5  O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6  Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 7  I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 8  I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 9  Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 150  They draw nigh that follo...

Observations! As I look out my window, at a drear cloudy day, the sunshine of yesterday, has like the fluffy clouds floated away; This day outside may be dreary, but my soul is rejoicing, because like the fluffy clouds, have all rolled away. I asked Jesus to forgive me, and cleanse all my sin, by the washing of His blood, and applying to the Holy of Ho lies, a sacrifice for all our sin, allowing the Holy Spirit, to enter in our new man; giving victory over death, and setting us free, by the power of His Spirit, saved by His grace and not our merit! ~Winston Staples

 "Afflictions are but as a dark entry into our Fathers house." ~Thomas Brooks

Yesterday I took a short drive on my son’s four wheeler and as I was driving along slowly I came to a large mud hole in the road. I was faced with three choices, either go through it, go around it or turn back. In life we face many mud holes and we have the same choices and with God’s direction He will help us make the right choice! ~Winston Staples

Adoption into God’s Family The past few days we have been looking into the Scripture and seeing what it records about adoption into the family of God and our relationship with Him and His persons, today we continue in our search. Romans 8:19,23; 1 John 3:2. 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. What a day that will be when we finally meet our Saviour, our Brother and joint heir in the Family of God!  2 Samuel 7:14; Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 12:5-11. Proverbs 3: 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Until that perfect day when we see Jesus face to face we will be chastened because God loves us and is preparing us for that glorious day!  2 Co.6:17-18; 2 Co. 7:1; Phil. 2:15; 1 John 3:1-3.  1 J...

Psalm 103 King James Version 103  Bless the  Lord , O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2  Bless the  Lord , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6  The  Lord  executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8  The  Lord  is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9  He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them ...

Psalm 12 King James Version 12  Help,  Lord ; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3  The  Lord  shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 5  For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the  Lord ; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6  The words of the  Lord  are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7  Thou shalt keep them, O  Lord , thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8  The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Desires of The Heart! SOMETIMES WHEN I SIT, LONGINGS COME TO ME, LONGINGS TO TRAVEL, TO FAR AWAY PLACES, TO HEAR DIFFERENT SOUNDS, DIFFERENT FACES SEE. LONGINGS TO WALK, ALONG MOUNTAIN TRAILS, ALONG THE SEAS, AND THROUGH GARDENS, MANY FLOWERS TO SEE. SOME DAYS I LONG, LONG FOR HEAVEN, THERE JESUS I WILL SEE, IN THIS HEAVENLY PLACE, NO PAIN AND SORROW, NO CLOUDY SKIES WILL BE, NO MORE LONGINGS FOR ME.

There is a trail, out back of the house, winding over the hill, so peaceful and still. On that old trail, I have walked, and watched the white tailed deer. On that old trail, I have heard, the wild goose call, echo through the cool air of fall. Om this old trail, I have watched, the wild flowers bloom, have heard the crows, and bumble bees zoom. Yes,  this old trail, takes me to and fro, my favorite place, where the red pine trees grow. On this old trail, I go, to meditate and pray, to my heavenly Father above, and say thank you, for His everlasting love.

Thanks Father! Thank you Father for your creation so fare, and for all these things you truly care. Thank you Father for the sun so bright, and the stars and moon that shine at night. Thank you Father for all the beauty you give us to see, may we use these to enlighten us about Thee. Thank you Father for the herbs and meat and all the good things you give us to eat. Thank you Father for the birds and bees, and all the blessings from the trees. Thank you Father for your word to me, and listening to my prayers, from where ever I might be. Thank you Father for sending Jesus your Son, that through Him salvation to mankind would come. Thank you Father for being our refuge in storms, and giving wisdom for your service to preform. Thank you Father for each morning, each a new beginning for a closer walk with you, one with less sinning. ~Winston Staples

Edifying Words! I find a lot of encouraging words in the Bible and heree are some found in Isaiah 40: 25-31King James Version 25  To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26  Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 27  Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31  But they that wait upon the...

HEAVEN’S SPLENDOR O, to walk on those streets of gold, that are in Heaven, I’m told, to see the Jasper walls, and those gates of pearl, O, to live without sin, trouble or pain, no heartaches at all, and be able to talk, talk with Jesus and Apostle Paul. O, to see the crystal sea, and listen to the Angels sing, and gather around God’s thrown, and with every sound proclaim, worthy is the LAMB that was slain!

Psalm 12 King James Version 12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exa

Is your attitude a thankful one? or do you grumble and complain? Is your attitude a serving one? or when asked to serve, you pass to another’s name. Is your attitude a loving one? or is self first in life’s game? Is your attitude a prayerful one? do you seldom call upon God’s name? Is your attitude one of sharing? or do you show very little caring? These negative attitudes, are not God’s plan, they are the attitudes of selfish man ~  Winston  Staples

 Psalm 119: 145  I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O   Lord : I will keep thy statutes. 146  I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 147  I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148  Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 149  Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O  Lord , quicken me according to thy judgment. 150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 151  Thou art near, O  Lord ; and all thy commandments are truth. 152  Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 153  Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 154  Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. 155  Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Romans 5:12-16 King James Version 12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16  And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

 Hello my friends: Today in my time of reflection I turned to one of my favourite chapters Romans 5. Today I am sharing the first 12 verses. Romans 5:1-12 King James Version 5  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9...

Creations Beauty Sitting looking out my window pane, everything’s so beautiful and green, being washed and refreshed by the falling rain. A woodpecker is tapping on a dead pine, tap, tap, tap, what a hammering sound; a chipmunk, carrying a piece of bread, scurries across the ground. Yes, as I look out, all nature is alive! Leaves so green, flowers so pretty in blossom everywhere; tells me we have a creator, who really cares. He not only cares for our physical being, and because of His love, He wants our soul to be free, and all His spiritual blessings seeing. Yes, He wants to set us free, from our bondage of sin; He sent Jesus, His only Son, and by His sacrifice, complete victory could be won.

The Stream There is a crooked stream, running quiet and still, just half a mile, over that hill. One day last fall, there was a big rain, that old stream was raging, a rage no man could tame. It roared and rushed, took houses and land, where ever it went, it obeyed no command. Sometimes our life, is like that stream, all peaceful and calm, then comes trials, that explode like a bomb. We have a place, where we can go, to our Heavenly Father, who by His loving hand, soothes and calms, that raging stream, with one command, it obeys His will, as He speaks, Peace be still. –Winston Staples– Share this: face book, twitter
