John 12:24-26
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
LORD, BREAK UP THE HARD SHELL ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY GRAIN OF WHEAT!!!! Then the Son (Sun) shine and Living Water will make me grow and flourish!!!
Hebrews 12:2
“looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
John 14:21
….. he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and REVEAL MYSELF TO HIM.
**** *****
This month we will continue the book, “Whatever Happens – How to Stand Firm in Your Faith When the World is Falling Apart.” By a contemporary author of many best-selling Christian books, Robert J. Morgan. He took care of his wife when she had MS, until she went home to her Savior. “He knows of which he speaks.” I pray that this book blesses you.
Philippians 4:19
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
WHATEVER HAPPENS …..CONSIDER YOURSELF WORTH MILLIONS
Luke 12:21 and 1 Timothy 6:18
“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God”
“Command them to do good, t be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”
The first quote is for Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus. In describing the rich man in the misery of his afterlife, Jesus said he was not rich toward God in this life. In 1 Timothy, the Lord tells us it’s possible to be rich in good deeds. If, for the moment, we are not rich in money, land, and assets, we can certainly be rich toward God and rich in good deeds.
James 2:5
“Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?”
We can also be rich in faith, prospecting out and claiming all of the rich promises of God in the Bible and focusing our attention on them in times of difficulty.
Ruth 2:12
“May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

These words were spoken by Boaz to Ruth, who had left everything to seek the God of Israel, alongside her mother-in-law Naomi. God opened the heart of Boaz, and he bestowed this blessing on her. It came true in spades. Ruth became his wife, the great-grandmother of King David, a woman whose name does indeed richly reward those who seek under His wings.”
