Scripture for the Day Oct 17th 2020: The Open Secret among Christians

Devotional

Revelation 7:12
“Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”

There is nothing more powerful we humans can do than giving thanks to God. 

Whenever I pray, I thank God in advance, knowing that the Heavenly Father will answer my request. 

Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

It goes something like this: Heavenly Father; I pray for Gary's sinus pains to go right now. I command every pain, migraine, discomfort and their root causes to leave his body now! Body: do your job! Be healed, Gary, in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father! 

In the morning, I thank the Lord for another day. I thank Him for seemingly insignificant things: that cab I needed to flag down. It happened yesterday again: I didn't have access to a car and needed to get home fast, so I asked the Lord to send one. Before I had even finished formulating the prayer in my mind, a cab showed up. THANK YOU LORD. You're awesome!

It's an open secret among successful Christians: worship, praise, and thanksgiving applied continually please the Lord, and He blesses us for involving Him in our life. Let's face it; it's the logical thing to do. Why wouldn't we ask the One for Whom nothing is impossible for Help AND be grateful for His power, His wisdom, His care, His help, and His love? 

One of the greatest Christian songs is this one by Don Moen. Take it in, enjoy it with a grateful heart. Thank Him today for this week and for the next. Thank you, Lord, you are awesome!

    BIDEN’S FOLLYTHE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESWhat it Means to Eliminate the Oil Industry Among Other ThingsBy E.P. Unum I wrote this essay back in the summer of 2020. Now that Joe Biden is President, it bears repeating because much of what feared has, sadly, already taken place. Many Democrats and Liberals like to shout and scream about how we all need to become more climate-conscious. They like to march down streets and wave their placards and makeshift flags about the need to eliminate fracking and do away with fossil fuels. Make no mistake, the self-anointed leader of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden promised during his Presidential campaign that he would not "do away with fracking or oi
