Wig’s Word of God Today 8-13-2011
As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15c
Let the children come to Me, and do not prevent them. Matthew 19:14a
Joshua 24:14-29, Psalm 16 & Matthew 19:13-15
I carry a wallet I bought at the Holy Land Experience that reads “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15c If you could see my home, I like to think people would agree with this statement. My wife and I have placed several tile pieces with different inscriptions of the LORD’s Word around our home to remind us to live every circumstance in His Word. The one I like the most is green hanging from an old wire off a pewter mug with white lettering that reads, “Believe-When a believing person prays, great things happen.” It reminds me of James 5:16, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.” We must constantly confess our sins and turn to the Bible often if we truly want to eliminate wrongdoing in our life. Change your routine. Change your pattern. Change your life. Carry His Word.
Teach the children in allowing the children to become closer to God’s Word by your desire to share God’s Truth with them every day. Don’t let God be a “Sunday thing” around your home. Fill your home with His Word in plaques, paintings and Bibles (obviously) to encourage your children to come to Jesus with ease and encouragement. All children have this natural inclination to embrace a parents teaching by God’s mighty grace and we should all be diligent in encouraging a child to seek “God’s Roadmap for Life.” When we ourselves become like children to learn the Word, God is brought into harmony with your real desires where sin ceases and His Will comes out in song for His Glory. When children see you happy in The LORD’s love, they will desire to come to Him with joy in their hearts. They will Trust God because you Trust God. They will read His Word because you read His Word. God makes it so simple-don’t be so tough on yourselves. Live in faith, charity and love. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray our homes always serve You LORD. We pray our children seek You LORD. We pray special intentions for Tim, Thomas, Tom and others involved in seeking solutions for America’s debt. We pray for healing and peace of Kelly, Alexandra and Jeff. We pray for the world’s peace and healing too LORD. We pray this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
The Sin of Humanity Redemption of Use
Nothing is greater then these
A Child of God looking to see
Only His Truth in Word to be
God’s instrument of love so eagerly
In my house I will show them The Way
Space filled Truth proudly on display
A home of God’s love breathing each day
His Son’s Salvation guiding us to pray
The children are like the ocean filled with Truth
You can walk on it or swim in it guided by couth
His love in every circumstance alive as proof
Brought into harmony by God’s Son to mute
The Sin of Humanity Redemption of Use
