John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There is hardly a day that passes anymore, that somewhere in the first few pages of the newspaper and within the many news stories on TV, is the word ‘INSURANCE’ not one of the most important issues. The government and the American people are very much in a chaotic state of confusion and upset over what is going to happen with our insurance situation. Chaos and confusion are not the products of God but of Satan.

There are people all over this country who have no insurance and we are told that the government wants to supply “everyone” with insurance. How are they going to do that???? One idea seems to be to PENALIZE those who don’t have insurance by fining them. The poor people of this country have enough problems just finding food and shelter everyday. They don’t need to worry about being “fined” because the have no money to have insurance coverage. And, where will they get the money to pay a “FINE” when they don’t have money to even feed themselves?? I will honestly tell you that this is one of those things that gets me “riled up” in a hurry. The dictionary defines the word riled as becoming angry or irritated. YEP, that is exactly what happens to me when I think of this so called “solution” to our insurance problems in this country!!

Now, I am not going to get off on this very controversial subject because we already have too many opinions on this anyway. And, mine would not be any more pleasant to read than the others. Like I said, I get “RILED UP”!

Instead of that, let us once again return to the dictionary and see what the definition of the word INSURANCE is: A contract, whereby the insurer guarantees the insured that a certain sum will be paid for a specified loss. The word GUARANTEE is defined as : a positive assurance that something will be done in the manner suggested. It also means ‘TO PROMISE’.

Looking back on the last presidential election and all the debates and talking and all the PROMISES AND GUARANTEES than came out of the mouths of our so called Leaders in this land do not make me feel very secure when I look at how these promises and guarantees are playing out. This is still a great country …….. But, it is falling daily into the smoking furnace of Hell by the broken promises of our so called LEADERS who are taking innocent peoples very lives by the promises of help that never come. MAN CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. Psalm 14:2-3 says: The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

The hopes of the poor and the homeless are based upon the ideas of the false promises and guarantees of the deceitful words that come from the leaders of this country. We and the entire world have become as filthy rags before God. How can we even begin to TRUST any man that claims to have the answers, when all they do is take advantage of a twisted tongue that gives the appearance of the truth when it is all just a pack of lies. These lies come from their father, Satan. Again, in Psalm 108: 12-13 King David says it so perfectly: Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Fools that we are, we turn our backs on God everyday when He is the only One that can be trusted. Proverbs 16:25 says, There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

INSURANCE, Do you want insurance that everyone can afford?? Do you want a GUARANTEE that is for eternity and is the TRUTH in every way? Do you want a PROMISE that you can be sure you can count on?

Do you want to be SAVED from the torment that is to come in this world? There are those who might have you believe that there are many ways that can lead you to God the Father. They might tell you that it is your works that will take you to Heaven. My Bible tells me, and I believe it 100%, that there is only ONE WAY TO GOD………..John 14:6 says: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the only true INSURANCE we have in this life. What’s more, it is free for the asking to every man, woman and child, no matter what your state in life. It does not matter what race, color or creed you are. It does not matter in what religion you have been raised to believe. If you believe that Jesus Christ was the One and only Son of God, Who died on the Cross for you, was buried and raised from the dead; If you ask God to forgive you of your sins and you turn from them and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life as your Savior; the Bible tells us it is then and only then that we are gloriously saved, FOREVER. 1John, 1:9 says: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We are also told in Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 3:16 says this: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not parish but have everlasting life. That word WHOSOEVER means you, it means me, without restrictions of any kind, it means everyone!!!

It cannot be more simple than that. God sent his son to die for us. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

We who are alive and well in Jesus Christ have nothing to fear. For God hath not given us the Spirit of Fear, but of Power and of Love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Contracts, guarantees and promises cannot be trusted. They are man’s ways of deception. But Hebrews 13:8 says: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Follow Him and have the only true insurance there is or ever will be……JESUS CHRIST ………….YOUR INSURANCE FOR ETERNAL LIFE.

 

  

Here is the video/poem I would like to share with you. The poem, One Easter Sunday, written by Kay Davis is a beauty beyond compare. As usual, our Deacon Steve has turned it into an even more incredible work of art. And to top it off the beautiful voice of Josh Groban sets it off with just the right song to make this one of the most beautiful of all videos on the www.openmyeyeslord.net website.

Please take some time to be quiet and treat yourself to something that will really get to your heart. Better have some Kleenex handy. This one is a real beauty. Thank you both, Steve and Kay, for making this available for me to use. Just click on the link below, wait for it to load, maximize your screen and turn on your volume.

Devotional for October 7, 2009

 

Psalm 30:5b : Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning
 
My Creed:  Lord, Give me a humble heart, a soft voice,
a kind word and the love of God that touches hearts with it's meek approach;
To be a "Proclaimer" of the Word of God that points to Salvation.
That is what I want to be before my God.
 

Psalm 118:28-29
Thou art my God and I will praise thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:
for his mercy endureth forever.
