"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matt. 5:17
Some contend that the New Testament ONLY is God's Word since the resurrection of Jesus.
Look closely at Christ's own words recorded by Matthew, shown above, and discover that He is the One Who declares that the Old Testament Law and the words and deeds of the Prophets are INDEED INTENDED FOR TODAY.
Jesus absolutely fulfilled every promise of God concerning Himself, therefore when one receives Him as personal Lord and Savior the transaction is complete; his sins forgiven, his name written in the Book of Life, and forever a child of God.
Just over a month ago we were "all about Christmas".
But the truth is that CHRISTMAS is FOREVER for all who believe that God so loved the world He sent His Son to redeem us ALL.
We make the decision to allow Him to do His will regarding our salvation.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and the promise of God to redeem you is fulfilled. The same God Who wrote the Ten Commandments sent His Son to save you from your sin. JESUS SAID SO!

"The last enemy to be destroyed is death." I Cor. 15:26
"Death has been swallowed up in victory." I Cor. 15:54
Reading and accepting these two statements by the Apostle Paul is like stepping on "Shouting Ground"!
Jesus Himself took care of our greatest fear; death.
He overcame death, Hell and the grave; and burst forth alive on one FANTASTIC Sunday morning!
He died for our sin on Friday.
On Saturday He released the captives and made them free.
On Sunday He AROSE ALIVE....VICTORIOUS!!
We celebrate Easter, because in Christ there is no fear of death.
As the old Spiritual song does say, "My God, What a Savior"!!!

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and will all your strength." Mark 12:29-30
The Lord didn't leave us much "wiggle room" to squeeze in 'another god', did He?
When I read that there are 1,800 "persuaions"; some called gods, whom some insist on worshipping, I "scratch my head" wondering where on earth these "imaginary" creature came from. That is, until I realize afresh that Satan is the "author of confusion".
One cannot read the Scripture, printed above, and miss seeing that it is a quote from God Himself, and just as clear as the noonday sun.
He, ONLY, is God, and there is no other.
How grateful we ought to be that He has taken all the confusion away, even to the point that when Jesus came He said, "I and the Father are ONE. There is no other God."
Tell you what.
Just accept the fact that Satan is a liar, and that God Jehovah is for real.
When you get to heaven you'll find Him there, and Satan will be totally OUT OF SIGHT.

"A man finds joy in giving an apt reply--and how good is a timely word." Prov. 15:23
Have you ever declared to a friend, "I wouldn't take anything for having heeded your advice."
There's something very special about a friend who sticks through "thick and thin"; the good days and the not so good.
There is nothing quite like the feeling of experiencing one's love and kindness no matter the situation you face.
One of the dearest friends of my life, now a "citizen of heaven", was a pastor brother reared just five miles from my birthplace. In our childhood I doubt that we ever met, but God brought us together when He called each of us into the ministry, and then bonded us tightly as brothers and counselors each for the other.
Often when I read Solomon's words, above, my friend come straight to mind.
I thank God for the joy of having known and served with him as we pastored different churches but often came together and celebrated baptism and revival services.
Truly I hope you have a friend this dea, But if not, turn to Jesus.
He sticks closer than a brother, and His hand right now is extended toward you.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed". Prov. 15:22
With question, final decisions may be declared by a voice of one, but "successful" decisions many time are the result of the counsel of many advisers.
Perhaps you are thinking, "been there, done that" both successfully and not so well.
Chances are you recognize the verse as counsel from wise King Solomon.
Knowing something of his life one may conclude he was speaking from experience; resulting in embarrassment and shame as the direct result of him not taking his own advice.
January often brings what appear to be real "opportunities".
If it has for you, heed Solomon's wise counsel and give a trusted friend the opportunity to share his or her thinking on your "idea".
It could result in great gain, the most important of which could be a deeper relationship with your "advisor".
PLUS A RENEWED RESPECT FOR DOING WHAT GOD HAS SAID IN HIS WORD.

"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh." Ezekel 11:19
An "undivided" heart.
Dwell on that for a moment.
Who would not be grateful for a friend whose allegiance is so steadfast to be described as undivided?
This is a description of Jesus Christ who came to this earth with His mind set like a flint to die on the cross, because He knew this was the plan and purpose of His Father for the redemption of sinful man.
Nothing ever changed the course toward the cross for Jesus; even when His heart was wrenched to the point of blood as He cried out to His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane the night of His betrayal by Judas Iscariot.
His destiny with the cross was just hours away as He said through His tears, "Not my will, but Your's be done". No other one who but He could purchase man's salvation, because God's required "perfect sacrifice" was His only Son.
If you ever doubted that you could entrust your eternal life to Jesus, the cross answers clearly.
He suffered, bled, and died for you, because there was no other way to purchase your redemption.
What more proof of His love for you is needed?

"Am I only a God nearby, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him" declares the Lord. Jeremiah 23:23-24
The number is so high it challenges one's mind; that there are now 1,800 false religions.
Yet, there is but one God, whose name is Jehovah.
What is disturbing is the Scriptural declaration, printed above, that this is true.
He is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; one God in three persons.
The entire Bible declares this, therefore anyone who teaches other than this is deceived.
Just as God says in the passage above from Jeremiah, false teachers and their teachings are known to Him.
Who, then would be the instigator confusion?
It is the "Author of Confusion" whose name is Satan?
Do not doubt that you need to flee from anyone who teaches any other gospel than Jehovah God's!

"In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths". The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore." Isa. 2:2-4
Can you take these thoughts into your heart without goosebumps raising on your arms?
Isaiah looks ahead to the Millennial, that thousand year period when Christ has returned and is seated on His throne in Jerusalem.
No more war, or threat of it, because all nations will turn their implements of warfare into tools for planting and harvesting and all will live in peace with one another and with nature.
EDEN RESTORED.
SATAN BOUND!!
Peace on earth for a thousand years....AND THEN IN HEAVEN FOREVER!

"All the nations you have made will come and worship before You, O Lord. They will bring glory to You." Psalm 80:9
If you have seen the Parade of Nations during the Olympics you have seen a glimpse of what the Psalmist had in mind in the verse above, EXCEPT THIS TIME NOT EVEN ONE NATION will be missing.
It is an overwhelming thought; that God is indeed God of Gods; above all others, and that man will one day stand together to proclaim this in spite of everything Satan has done to keep it from happening!!
Dwell a moment on the thought; Christ on His throne, and EVERY nation on earth acknowledging that He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
With Satan bound for a thousand years; unable to do one solitary thing about "Eden Restored" and on earth peace, good will toward all.
You don't want to miss this!!
You don't have to.
Believe on and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior through confession of your sin and acceptance of Him as Lord right this moment.

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth." Job 19:25
Job exemplifies one who has placed his or her faith in God and will not be moved.
He knew the day would come when he would personally gaze upon God standing on this earth.
You can make that same statement with absolute surety that Jesus Christ will come again to inhabit this earth and stand upon it as King of Kings and Lord of Lords as every saint of God shares with Him for a thousand years in perfect peace and harmony one with another and with God.
AND THEN ETERNITY in heaven!!
Only a loving God could have devised such a plan for all whose faith is in Him.
It's your's FREE.
Jesus has already PAID IT ALL.
Receive Him as Savior and Lord.

"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the eternal arms." Deut. 33:27
This statement was one among many given to Israel by Moses as he approached the end of his leadership of them before joining God for eternity.
Perhaps you have experienced, or heard of one, privileged to be present with a loved one just before his or her death. Most can quote those words, because they are precious thoughts..
The words spoken to Moses were passed on and continue until this day among our Jewish friends who understand that Jehovah God is their refuge and strength. It is the thing that is keeping them faithful to Him in these trying times in Israel. And they will not vacillate.
America could learn a great lesson from Israel today; number one being to keep the faith.
Unfortunately we have drifted far from being "One Nation Under God" to having become one nation of many gods.
This can change. God said so.
"If my people, who are called by My name shall humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins, and heal their land." 2 Chr. 7:14

In Genesis 8:22 God said, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."
Who, other than God, could make such a promise?
Here we are this day in the very middle of the first month of the new year, and God has been right on time with winter weather.
But then comes April when mother nature begins to get all dressed up with brand new attire to lighten our hearts and put a new bounce in our step as temperatures change from frigid to delightful.
Our response to this is to acknowledge that God is IN CONTROL by submitting to His will and rejoicing in His faithfulness.
Life never was intended to be any other way than that first day in Eden.
Have you realized that "before" heaven Eden will be bloom again?
God will restore earth for His children, We WILL live there for a thousand years live there...BUT NOT SATAN.
Thank God this time he'll be locked up and out of sight....WITH HEAVEN YET TO COME!!.
THAT'S A PROMISE!!

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance." Ps. 33:12
Perhaps you often wonder how tiny Israel continues to be so strong and resilient when almost continually under attack by her enemies who defame Jehovah God.
That is, until encountered by such words of God as printed above clearly explaining that God Himself
chose this nation and stamped forever His name upon her.
Israel, a tiny nation that has not vacillated, but instead holds firmly her faith in God even whens brutish murderous beheaders stalk her every move.
Would to God they came to faith in Christ. But also that many who profess Christ would exhibit Israel's allegiance to Jehovah God and unashamedly take their stand for Him in these days of "many gods who are no gods at all".
The Bible says that God is not the author of confusion.
That has to mean that Satan is behind all the chaos and confusion swamping America today.
It's time to decide.
Whose in charge? Are we truly "ONE NATION UNDER GOD"?
The clear answer emerges every Sunday at the church house.

"Taste and see that the Lord is good;blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." Ps. 14:13
My wife has been preparing meals for me a very long time. She knows exactly what I like and what I don't, but she still "experiments" from time to time, and I know when she does because before she puts it on the table she brings me a sample and says, "Tell me what you think of this".
One of the reasons I truly enjoy writing devotionals and sending them to you is similar to my wife's method of "tasting".
I send in hopes that as you read you will personally discover for yourself just how good God truly is, and then go and tell everyone you know just how very much you can trust Him as your loving Heavenly Father.
In my studies to preach and teach over the past 55 years God has taught me many things; the reason I call the devotional ministry, "I Read Where God Said".
I have nothing to offer, but God does.
As you read, check it out.
Taste for yourself to see that GOD IS GOOD.

I Read Where God Said..."God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Ps. 46:1
Constant, steadfast, reliable, faithful---other ways to describe the faithfulness of God just as He is spoken of by the psalmist in Psalm 46.
But the very best way to comprehend these truths is by putting our very own personal faith in Him.
This is what He desires us to do.
Not only in the time of trouble, but continually.
As Americans we profess our faith in Him on our coinage and currency as well as the pledge to our flag, but our words don't mesh with our actions when it comes to our worship.
Many poorly attended churches speak increasingly of our divided allegiance to Jehovah God.
Truly He is our ever present help in trouble.
But why wait till trouble comes to acknowledge Him?

"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have separated His face from you, so that He will not hear." Isaiah 59:2
Sin is a serious matter.
Jesus' death on the cross makes this clear.
But God's love for sinners also made itself clear when His purchased their salvation with the pure blood of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
Many things have changed, but not God's mind regarding sin.
It still separates sinful man from Him, but He so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever receives Him as Savior and Lord WILL NOT PERISH, but will have eternal life.
An ancient truth with a present urgency to believe and receive.

One week into the New Year, and perhaps you may already be eagerly looking forward to Friday and the weekend break.
The Scripture passage above assures you that God understands.
He established Sunday as a day of rest, and a very great day also to "re-fresh" your spirit as you make your way into a Bible study group and a time of worship to express your gratitude to Him.
Almost everyone makes weekend plans. Thursday is a good day to make the decision to give your body, soul and spirit a "lift".
Plan today how not to miss God in your Sunday plans.

"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 important than food, and the body more important 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?" Matthew 6: 25-26
Right here in the very middle of the first week of a brand new year, deal seriously with these words of Jesus.
You ARE somebody!
YOU were created by God.
Let everyone know it today by the way you live!

"In the beginning God.................." Genesis 1:1
As 2015 lies directly before us there is no higher priority than God.
All are not in agreement that Jehovah is God, but nature is, and it is groaning because of the discord that exists between itself and God's highest creation on earth; man who is made in God's own image.
Should you still be considering your New Year's Resolutions, consider making it you aim to "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness".
For those who do God promises "all these things shall be given unto you as well." Mt. 6:33
You won't find a better offer than that, guaranteed!

Today marks the beginning of a totally new adventure for me as it has become necessary to change the delivery service for the "I Read Where God Said" devotionals God has provided since 2004.
To Him I am most grateful for His blessings that have enlarged the ministry to necessitate a more proficient system which I sincerely pray will enable both you and me to reach, challenge and encourage more people with the Word of God.
I would be remiss if I did not express my deepest thanks to a daughter who has spent hours during her Christmas break to walk me through the steps of learning how to BLOG. That is one of many new words I am trying to understand in my old age. Her patience and understanding are beyond explanation, but without her kindness and persistence I would have surely retired from writing devotionals, and the loss would have been mine. I cannot thank Jana OR YOU sufficiently for your patience over the last month.
My most sincere prayer and hope for you in the New Year is that you will sense the greatest presence of God as you walk with Him, study His Word, worship Him regularly, and let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify Him continually.
Happy belated 2015!

I cannot thank Jana OR YOU sufficiently for your patience over the last month.
My most sincere prayer and hope for you in the New Year is that you will sense the greatest presence of God as you walk with Him, study His Word, worship Him regularly, and let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify Him continually.
Happy belated 2015!
