#6 JESUS in the Spotlight



Good day everyone, may our Almighty Father's prosperous blessings abound in us all (".)


Today's sharing is all about giving the limelight to our Loving Lord-- Jesus.


"Delight in the LORD... (Psalm 37:4)


"Delight"- 
I looked it up and found the best meanings of it:
-- to take great pleasure or joy;
-- a joy to behold;
-- a high-wrought state of pleasurable feeling;
-- extreme satisfaction;

When our Loving Lord starts the sanctification process in our hearts, in our minds & thoughts, and in our whole being, through the Holy Spirit, He lets us be drawn to Him more and more, and I believe, that it is the transformation process that each of us, Christian/ Believer, goes through when our Father starts to keep us in His light.

It is no doubt that our Father in Heaven loves us immeasurably; He is with us every moment of our lives, shielding us from all harm and danger; and He always reiterate that His commands are not really burdensome, the sum of which is- "Love GOD with all of you and love your neighbor as yourself." Through this very simple but profound command, He has given us true freedom from Satan's deceitful and destructive ways. 

In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome,

Jesus replied: "Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."



Think about it:
(1) Who provides for our daily sustenance?

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

(2) Who gives us the mental faculties to figure things out?

Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, 
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

(3) Who makes opportunities for our lives? education? work? promotion?

Jeremiah 32:40
I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.

(4) Who gives us the talents to do things well?


Matthew 25:15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to every man according to his several ability, 

(5) Who provides us the spiritual gifts to participate successfully in His work?


To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.(excerpt)

And the list goes on....

The fact is "we are nothing" without Him.

Isn't it just fitting that we give the spotlight to our Lord JESUS, He is the only one deserving of all honor and glory......and true to His promise, He will make our life abundant in the most inexplicable way and circumstance.

Glory to GOD in the Highest!
