Title: Worthy to be Praised!

-
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 KJV
Devotion: Peter shows us an appropriate response to God's great mercy to us: praise. Specifically, he blesses God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is one being, in three persons. In this case, he praises the Father while acknowledging Christ as our Lord. 
 It is important to get it right - we, human race are all sinners but because of God's Mercy we have grace to become sinnless because Jesus paid for our sins on the mountain of Calvary. Christ gave us hope by His ressurection that if we believe in Him we will live. This He demonstrated by appearing to the disciples. Another reason to believe is that He fulfilled His promise to send to us Holy spirit. In John 14:16, Jesus says  "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever". This promise was fulfilled in the upper room. This great event was recorded in Acts 2:4  "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance".
 Thus God was made manifest in 3 persons - God the father, Jesus His son and Holy spirit. This same father of Jesus is toa be praised and we have genuine reason to praise Him because without God we would perish in sin. Dearly beloved what is your thought on this? Shalom.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
