“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!  How great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.”  (Psalm 139:17­-18)

God’s thoughts toward us; how precious are they!  They are deep in themselves, such as cannot possibly be fathomed and comprehended.  They are dear to us; we must think of them with a great deal of reverence, and yet with pleasure and thankfulness.  If we were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand.  Just think how long it would take to count every grain of sand.  It is inconceivable and yet that is how much God’s thoughts are toward us.  When our eyes are closed in sleep and we have been lost in forgetfulness of Him in our slumbers, when we awake from that unconscious state, we are still with Him.  We find that His eyes were never closed and that He has not forgotten us.  There has been no change and no slumbering with Him.  God is always thinking of us.  Praise Jesus!

“These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.” (Matthew 15:8 NLT)
 
The Pharisees were a group of people only concerned with their outward appearance.  During the time of His ministry, Jesus had many interesting things to say to the Pharisees.  One that has always caught my attention is, “these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”  If there is one thing that is certain in this world, it is “change.”  Everything is subject to it.  If you were to paint your fence white and leave it alone, it is going to change.  Unless it is maintained, over time it will darken.  Likewise, we have to keep repainting our hearts, maintaining the purity, the whiteness.  It’s a daily thing.  I think this is something we can drift from as we get used to life and grow older.  Although I'm still fairly young in age, as I grow older in my faith, I've found that I can get used to the routine; in that sense I can fake it.  Over time, it can become easier to go along with the actions but the heart isn't there.  Jesus spoke to the church in Ephesus and said even though your works are awesome, something in your heart isn't.  That is what Jesus is after, our heart.  Daily we need to make sure that not only our hands are clean but our hearts are as well.  We have to maintain the white fence of our hearts, painting over it with the cleansing blood of Christ that takes away all our sin.  As we spend time each day in God’s Word and in prayer, He will transform us into people who honor Him with both our heart and actions.

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  (Acts 4:12)

Names of people in our generation may no longer have much significance to the character of the person.  Many new parents often pick names that are popular for their newborn without any regard for its true meaning.  Some people would say, “as long as it sounds good, then it’s good enough for the baby.”  The Bible however placed great emphasis on names much more than we do.  In fact, God renamed some people based on the change of character in their life.  Case–in point was Jacob whose name means “supplanter” because he stole his brother’s birthright.  But later in life as Jacob submitted to the Lord’s will; God changed his name to Israel which means “governed by God”.  But for as long as humans ever existed throughout time, none is greater than the name of Jesus.  The name Jesus means “Jehovah our Savior”.  According to the Apostle Peter, salvation from sin only comes through our Savior, Jesus – this statement sounds very exclusive, well it is.  Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life – no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).   So what’s in your name?

“...I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.  For I   resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.  My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.”  (1 Corinthians 2:1–5 NIV)

This is a testimony of the great Apostle Paul admitting to his insecurity in testifying of God.  He felt fearful and inadequate.  I am sure we all can attest to feeling the same way.  Paul’s obedience in sharing regardless of how he “felt” is the key to his greatness as an apostle.  His acknowledgment of God’s Power encourages me that it is God doing the work and not me.  Let us resolve to obediently share the love of God in word and deed and remember it is not us, but God’s Power working through us.

“Until now you have asked nothing in My name.  Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”  (John 16:24)
 
We can be sure that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ commands the attention of God the Father and He will not only listen but be inclined to do whatever is asked to be done for the sake of His beloved Son.  Praying in the name of Christ is like signing His name to our petition; therefore, it is reasonable that the subject of our prayers be limited to things that are in direct line with the purposes of Christ and for His glory.  “...You do not have, because you do not ask God.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:2–3 NIV).

 “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;  nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” Isaiah 59:1

During the time of captivity, the prophet Isaiah reminded the nation Israel about the Lord’s ability to save them in spite of their difficult circumstances and their inability to save themselves.  Sometimes in the course of our walk, God will place us in circumstances that are beyond our control so that He can prove himself strong and mighty.  Not so that He can increase in more power and splendor, but that He wants to increase our faith and dependence on Him.  There is no mountain beyond the reach of the Lord’s hand nor is there any problem beyond his ability to solve.  The Lord’s ear is never dull when we call on him with the right heart.  Do so today.

I’ve seen church services on the major Christian network where the well–dressed preacher has the title apostle or bishop and mature men in expensive looking suits and shoes sit on the side of him in front of the whole congregation.  For me that image is contrasted by servants I have come to know in our body who have no titles, but labor tirelessly in obscurity simply to serve God and honor Him.  I’ve seen these servants   mopping floors and cleaning toilets on a Saturday morning and collecting trash after  service on Sundays.  We can all learn from these brothers and sisters in our body.   If I know what they are doing, God most certainly does.  In Luke 14:10–11 NIV, Jesus himself said,  “But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’  Then you will be honored in the   presence of all your fellow guests.  For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him.  But Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.”  And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him…  (Luke 8:38–39)

As I write, the media presents the reality of problems in our world such as the international financial crises, London riots, and the surge in Flash Mob attacks throughout our nation’s cities.  I’m prompted, like many of us, to think of how we may actively assist in solving these enormous problems.  While my thoughts were on lofty answers, the Lord reminded me of an area of our lives where we can provide answers and solutions.  It’s our sphere of influence.    Often our desire is to see God resolve the great problems of our time.  However, like this man, Jesus reminds us that our first task is to be His voice to those we know.  The man obeyed and told others about Jesus.  Are we sharing the Gospel with those very ones we continually come in contact with?   Let God handle the world and let us be faithful in telling those we know about God’s love and salvation through our Lord, Jesus.

HOLY COMFORT
Two of my favorite scriptures are Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) - “ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  It’s comforting to know as Christians that nothing can come between our relationship with our Holy Father, as long as we maintain our relationship with His son Jesus.  In Mark 13:10-12, Jesus reminded us that as his followers, the world will be against us.  Mark 13:13 says, “And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”  All we need to do is persevere through our daily trials.  I believe that Job said it best in Job 13:15, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him."  This scripture is the second of my two favorites.  I pray that you will hide these scriptures in your heart as you endure the trials and tribulations that we must all face until we hear those blessed words, “Well done good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21 & 23) Amen.

KULEANA

“Then the LORD God took the man and put him in he garden of Eden to tend and keep it.”(Genesis 2:15 )

One of the meanings of the word “kuleana” in the Hawaiian language is “responsibility”. God has given us a responsibility to be a beacon of Light to others. He has also given us “kuleana” to take care of this land we live on. In our world today, there are many places to wash our hands (dispensers in grocery stores, gas stations, churches, etc. and public restrooms almost everywhere). Therefore, it’ll be okay to pickup a napkin off the ground, to pick up a plastic bag in the landscape, to push the trash down when it is overflowing, because we can easily wash our hands shortly after. Let’s bean example to others today and do what God asked us to do – “God put man on the land for us to tend and keep it”.                             ~ Kalani Fronda ~

“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the King’s delicacies, nor with
wine, which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” - Daniel 1:8
 
Although this passage dealt with Jewish dietary practices it also had to do with practicing purity according to the knowledge of God’s standards.  Here we see a great example of a believer in God who determined to keep himself pure and be set apart from the ungodly Babylonian empire.  First and foremost Daniel decided not to be influenced by, nor practice the things of the Babylonian culture which were against the one true God.  There are so many things in our culture today that are acceptable while clearly violate against God’s Word.  Other things are so subtle that even Christians unknowingly accept and practice them.  Daniel, however, made the choice not to sin against God.  God said, “Be holy, for I am holy.” (I Peter 1:16).  Therefore, let us practice purity by hiding God’s Word in our heart that we might not sin against Him (Psalm 119:11).  Let’s begin by being doers of God’s Word and not just hearers (James 1:22).
