UNDERSTANDING

Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but
understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be
filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 5.17 and 18).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) Awake and fully alive to the purposes and plan of our
Lord and Savior we can live out His Life in His Light by the
accurate and precise guidance of the Holy Spirit, sensibly,
wisely and intelligently.
2) Making the best of our time by prioritizing His Kingdom and
His righteousness we can be on target and effective.
3) Maximizing His glory requires our clear understanding and
firmly grasping of His priorities for our life. This is predicated on
knowing His will precisely. This is possible when you are filled with
the Holy Spirit.
4) That is why St. Paul is telling us not to be high or drunk with wine
or by other means. Instead we must be filled and stimulated with the
Holy Spirit always.
This verse is a call to many who are trying to know God’s will for their
lives, but are distracted by many things, pulled in many directions,
perhaps seeking stimulation by other means. It is imperative that we
are fully awake, alert, sober, intelligent and have our wits about us.
It is vital at this hour to redeem the time because we need to have clear
minds unclouded, unimpaired and unimpeded . It is absolutely important
and possible for you to know God’s will and direction for you in every
situation and for every decision. This can happen for you when you are
filled, stimulated and led by the Holy Spirit.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOR HIS INDESCRIBABLE GIFT!
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
O GIVE THANKS
Thursday, November 26th, 2009O GIVE THANKS
O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His
mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has
delivered from the hand of the adversary,
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east
and from the west, from the north and from the sea
in the south.
Some wondered in the wilderness in a solitary desert
track, they found no city for habitation.
Hungry and thirsty, they fainted, their lives were near
to being extinguished.
then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He
delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them forth by the straight and right way, that
they might go to a city where they could establish their
homes.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and
loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children
of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in
affliction and in irons.
Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned
the counsel of the Most High.
Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor, they
stumbled and fell down and there was no one to help.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them
out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and
broke apart the bonds that held them.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron.
Some are fools because of the way of their transgressions and
are afflicted because of their iniquities.
They loath every kind of food and they draw near to the gates of death.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He delivers them out
of their distresses.
He sends forth His Word and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness
and His wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His
deeds with shouts of joy and singing!
Some go down to the sea and travel over it in ships to do business
in great waters.
These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.
For he commands and raises up the stormy wind,which lifts
up the waves of the sea.
Those aboard mount up to the heavens, they go down again
to the deeps, their courage melts away because of their plight.
They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are
at their wits’ end, all their wisdom has come to nothing.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He brings them
out of their distresses.
He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that
the waves of the sea are still.
Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them
to their desired haven.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and wonderful works to the children of men!
Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and
praise Him in the company of the elders.
He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground.
A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of
those who dwell in it.
He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water
springs.
And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city
for habitation,
And sow fields and plant vineyads which yield fruits of increase.
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and
allows not their cattle to decrease.
When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression,
trouble and sorrow,
He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wonder in
waste places where there is no road.
Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their
families like a flock.
The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.
Whoso is wise will observe and heed these things and they will diligently
consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.
(Psalm107).
PRAISE THE LORD! THANK YOULORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

For what the law could not do
in that it was weak through the
flesh, God did by sending His
own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, on account of sin.
He condemned sin in the flesh.
That the righteous requirement
of the Law might be fulfilled in us
who do not walk according to the
flesh but according to the Spirit.
( Romans 8.3 and 4).
INSPIRATION FOR REFLECTION
Reflect on these points:
1) Jesus Christ came in the
likeness of sinful flesh, yet
totally righteous.
2) Jesus Christ condemned sin
in the flesh. He paid our sin debt
in full.
3) The righteous requirements of
the law are fulfilled in us because
Jesus Christ fulfilled all righteousness
for us.
4) Thanks to Jesus Christ we are now
counted righteous by walking according
to the Spirit.
4) Spirituality implies being spiritual by
being Spirit led under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit.
