Wig’s Word of God Today 4-18-2011
I believe I shall enjoy the LORD’S goodness in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
Isaiah 42:1-7, Psalm 27 & John 12:1-11
Isaiah speaks of the LORD’s covenant where He will bring a Savior for the world who will be “a Light for the nations, To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.” Isaiah 42:6f-7 Many of us live a life of goodness in the LORD where we accomplish all as the Will of God. We are not afraid to answer the call of God and live for His Truth providing hope, charity and love for the troubled hearted. Sometimes we must actively get involved when the unknown is present. My beautiful wife sent me a text on Saturday to describe just that. While I was away at a meeting Saturday with the Christian Family Coalition, I get a message from her asking me to pray for a neighbor who was fighting and many people had gathered to witness and talk trash to one another. My amazing God-fearing wife stepped out of our front door to stop two girls teenage girls from fighting. There were close to twenty people encouraging the fight as well as yelling obscenities as she yelled out to stop.
Apparently the girls stopped but the crowd continued to talk trash to one another and she went back inside to call the police. Once I arrived home an hour or so later, she asked if I would go over to see them and pray with them. I must admit I was hesitant at first, but I was confident the LORD had a plan for her. We went over and spoke to the mother who had been at work the whole day and just arrived home. My wife asked if we could pray with them and we all went inside to where the girl who had been fighting was with her sisters and brothers and we all held hands as my wife spoke a prayer of peace and forgiveness. Sometimes we must get involved when the LORD calls us even if we are frightened or unsure of our abilities to handle a situation. We must trust in the LORD and conquer the fear by allowing the Spirit of God to lead us. I am so proud of my wife’s passion of sharing her love of loving Christ Jesus and praying with our neighbors or strangers alike that I hope this story shares some courage Christ Jesus brings to all who embrace His Truth.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to always have Christ’s courage to share His Truth by our faith, our charity and our love to mankind. Be our Guide and our Protector. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Christ Knew His Intentions
A meal was enjoyed with Lazarus
His sisters joining too
Mary anointed Christ’s feet with fragrant oil
While Christ rebuked Judas a fool
The poor will always be with you
But I must die very soon
Christ knew his intentions
As Mary dried His feet of perfume
