SCROLLS

 

Though the little box started with over one hundred daily Bread scrolls, as you can see there are some missing. Otherwise they would all stack nicely in an upright position. 

MAY 1 {No. 104 in the box}

 

Joel 2:25
I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.
This is but part of the promise of restoration in this verse. The whole verse reads:
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.

Why would God send these destructions against HIs people? In judgement. Joel 2:1-11. But not until after the people repent and return to God will His restoration begin. Joel 2:12-17.

Let us repent (confess our sins to God and turn from doing them to obeying God's Word) and return to our God, Who loves us and gave Himself for us - Titus 2:14 - that He might redeem us from sin and make us His own people.

As He draws near us, let us draw ever nearer to Him; so close in His embrace that we can not only know His heart but hear His heartbeat. For God's heart beats for the lost souls who have neither repented, nor returned to Him. And He's calling each and every one of them to come home.

The Name of The Lord

     SALVATION IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

    Joel 2:32

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on The Name of The LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The LORD has said, and in the remnant whom The LORD shall call.

    Romans 10:13

For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved.

    Acts 2:21

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on The Name of The Lord shall be saved.

But Israel will be saved by The LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

NO OTHER NAME

JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL (IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU) - Stuart Townsend

AT THE CROSS (LOVE RAN RED) - Chris Tomlin

YOU ARE HOLY - Andrew Hopkins

THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU - Lenny LeBlanc

    Why does anyone ever run from the only Name that can save us? For we do, indeed, need saving. Our souls are in grave danger on a daily basis. It is the soul - how we think, how we emote, how we act- that is eternal. Whether that eternity is death eternal or life eternal, the soul will live beyond this life. 

    We are only fooling ourselves when we turn our backs on God. God sees us. God knows us. He waits for us to turn to Him; He is not forceful yet, nor is He pushy. God is gentle and patient (longsuffering) and merciful. He waits for you to come home. The welcome mat is always out...for now. There will come a time, a day, when it will be too late to make a commitment to trust in God, to believe in God, to follow Jesus Christ. Don't let your souls see that day come to you. 

    My Mother prayed for you as she lay dying. She prayed for the salvation of her family: her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren; her sister and brother and their children and grandchildren; her husband's siblings and their families throughout their generations. Salvation is the only thing she prayed for. We prayed together. It is the first and the last time my Mother and I ever prayed together. We prayed for you. 

    Now, it's up to you to make a decision. Do you choose Christ Jesus, The Only Begotten Son of God, The Lamb of God? The only God Who died for you and rose from the dead? or do you choose to follow dead gods who died and never came back from the grave?  

    In The Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST is LOVE. He is The LOVE OF GOD personified. He is The Glory of God personified. He is The POWER OF GOD personified. IN THE NAME OF THE LORD IS THE NAME OF THE LORD.

Redeeming Israel

 

REDEEM ISRAEL

Psalm 25:22

Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

Psalm 14:7

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

Psalm 122:6-7

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

Jeremiah 24:7

I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.

Romans 25:26-27

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob."

Romans 8:10

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

This covenant is JESUS CHRIST. He is the New Testament through which GOD saves all who believe on His name.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Romans 10:12-13

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, for, "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

Joel 2:32

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Acts 2:21

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

You. Me.  It is for you and me that God sent His Son to die on the cross, taking the punishment for our sins. Jesus Christ is our Deliverer, Redeemer, Savior, Messiah, Friend. 

I know my Redeemer lives. And I know His Name. Do you?
