"God's Delight"
Good morning friends,
Please read John 21:15-19
Your law is my delight. Psalm 119:174
Each of us has a vulnerability. It may be something addictive such as drugs or alcohol, or it may be something seemingly harmless and perhaps even good such as food, friendship, or work. After His resurrection, Jesus asked Peter this personal and probing question: "Do you love Me more than these?" (John 21:15). We need to ask ourselves this question, "What do I love more than Jesus?" When Satan finds out what we love more than God, he knows how to manipulate us. But he loses his power over us when we delight in the Lord.
I love Thee, because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
It ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
God takes delight in us,
how can we help but delight in Him?
My dear friends, I ask that this morning you lift up the family of Richard Hawkins in your prayers for God's comfort. Richard has been on life suppport since Monday when he was in a motorcycle crash. But the brain scan tests they did yesterday shows no brain activity whatsoever. The family was going to remove him from the life support yesterday,but decided to wait until this morning. This is a very heartbreaking decision for anyone to have to make concerning their loved one. My heart goes out to them. Richard was the treasurer for the South Central Chapter of the SJHR. My husband Admiral and I are with the TRI-County SJHR, so he was our brother. I really appreciate your doing this for his family. God Bless.
