Wig’s Word of God Today 11-10-2010
For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another. Titus 3:3
Titus 3:1-7, Psalm 23:1b-3a, 3bc-4, 5, 6 & Luke 17:11-19
When did you allow yourselves the opportunity to surrender your life to Christ? Many people can remember where they were during certain events in their life but how many of us can say “I remember when I gave my life to Jesus.” For Paul it was on the road to Damascus being struck by the Light of Christ blinding him for three days. He was “foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy.” He despised “so-called Christians” seeking to eliminate them and their faith. Christ captured his soul and made him a Saint. A Saint who instructs us today 2000 years later with strong words of Divine Nature allowing us to live a Life of Christ. Be obedient to authority. Pray for our leaders whether we like them or not. Share the Truth with others. Be kind. Be patient. Be filled with hope. Give to those less fortunate than you. Have faith. And remember, “when the kindness and generous love of God our Savior appeared, not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of His mercy, He saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Whom He richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by His grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.” Titus 1:4-7
Psalm 23 is such a comforting Psalm. Have you ever sung the Psalm out loud to yourself? Try it. There’s no way you can’t smile and be filled with the Spirit of God as you dance and sing His praises. Luke 17-13 describes the cleansing of the 10 lepers as they walked along coming across Jesus and saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” Jesus responding with “Go show yourselves to the priests.” When you sing to yourself Psalm 23 think of the one leper after “realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice,” and drop to your knees and be thankful to God for all the amazing things you have in your life. Be thankful for the trials and tribulations as well as the fruits and gifts of grace. Allow all you live to be the Will of God and follow Him to share faith, hope, charity and love. Be thankful in loving your love of Christ and rid yourself of slavery to sin.
And so we pray: My Lord and My God, on my knees I pray for all who read these words of my love of You. May my poetry always Glorify You Lord and may my life be an example of Your Son’s Truth where I share a life of hope, faith, charity and love for each and every person I meet. Guide us Your people back to You just as the one leper who was cleansed ran back Jesus Glorifying His Love forever more. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
My Faith in Him I Pray
On your knees
As you seek
To sing His praise
Enjoying life’s peak
Be under control
Obedient to authority
Living in His Grace
No slander from your face
Rid yourself of foolishness
Void your life of slavery
No longer look to sinful pleasures
Find joy replacing malice and envy
Love of generosity appeared
Not from our abilities
Mercy from God Almighty cleared
Heirs justified by Christ’s abilities
Want nothing in return
Be safe from Satan’s churn
Courage in daily chores
Dwelling in the House of the Lord
Pity on Humanity He gave
Not all return to give praise
Be thankful to God to say
My faith in Him I pray
