For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. 1 John 5:3-4
 
He said to them, “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:21

1 John 4:19–5:4, Psalm 72:1-2, 14 and 15bc, 17 & Luke 4:14-22
 
Do you believe you can conquer the world by your faith? I met a young man last night in an office supply store that checked me out and I asked if the store had a military discount, he replied no. This led him to ask me what branch I served in and that he had joined the Army and was going to Boot Camp March 1st. As my sale was completed, he said,  “The job market is so poor, I decided to join the Army because I have faith God will protect me as I serve my country.” I replied with, “By your faith in God, you can conquer the world! Amen.”
 
I was thinking of my daily Scripture study from today’s passage and the Lord led me to a young man who had placed his faith in God and I became a vessel to reassure him. We parted by praying together as I asked the Lord to guide him and protect him as he pursues the call to protect his country. Today, let us continue to pray for our military by loving our love of Christ in keeping the commandments and knowing Jesus has fulfilled all Scripture in coming to the world to shoulder the sins of humanity.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, we pray today as we do every day that our military will be guided by Your Son’s Light of Truth. Guide us to live Your Commandments and thus living Your Will in all things. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
 
His Father’s Wish Foretold
 
Be not a liar
Hate not a sister or brother
Loving God unseen
Seeing love in one another
 
Jesus in your heart?
His Truth liberates the soul
Begotten by God
Living His Son’s Truth foretold
 
The commandments do live
Unburdened by their Truth
A life void of sin full of faith
The world conquered in dues
 
Returning home in Spirit
Christ read from the Scroll
Isaiah’s message fulfilled
His Father’s wish foretold

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
