Eternal Trinity

In Revelation 1:8, it is written, “I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and Greek would have been the language that John and much of his audience would have spoken. However, the use of these two letters easily interprets to others as the first and the last regardless of the language. And although, God is three entities, they are all ONE God, meaning we must obey them all. To deny even one means eternity in hell. So, if God is eternal, so are the other two Divinities who are his equal counterparts.

To back this claim, Genesis 1:26 NLT tells us, "Then God said, 'Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.'" This was the beginning of earth time, before Jesus left his place in heaven, to be born as a human, to show us how the Word must be interpreted AND lived. And 50 days after Jesus was crucified (Pentecost), he sent his Holy Spirit to his apostles and other disciples so that they could speak in foreign languages of which they were not familiar with. This allowed the witnesses of this event to understand and become believers and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Until this time, the Spirit was limited to priests and a few others who really devoted their lives to please God. 

After the Holy Spirit made his presence on the day of Pentecost, Apostle Peter quoted the prophet, Joel (who was born at least 400 years before Jesus), in Acts 2:17-21 where Joel had prophesied this moment. He had said that God would pour his Spirit out on all people - men AND women - to prophesy. He mentions a few of the end-of-time happenings in a couple of paragraphs, and then says that all those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for being my Father, my Savior, and Wisdom I seek each day. I pray that you will show all of us the way that each of us must go in order to spread your Word effectively and to bring more people to know and accept you as the Omnipresent God who is everywhere, who knows everything, who is, was, and always will be One God as Three Entities. The devil will try to confuse us and divide your Holy Trinity in our heads, but Lord, help us to remember that by calling upon one, we are calling upon all three to help us get through our daily lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Blessings to all in the name of Jesus Christ,

Patricia

Buying and Care Tips for Outdoor Plants

These first  2 tips came to mind when I was buying 4 new outdoor deck plants this past week at Lowe's. First of all, at least at the Lowe's I visited, all of their hanging basket flowers were badly wilted and turning brown. I'll have to say, that was a first. All of their plants usually look amazing. I'm not sure if it's because of all the local rainfall, and maybe they haven't been watering them regularly, and that was why they looked so shabby. Because typically, someone would be watering the flowers at about the time we arrived; always have been in the past, and no one was doing that on the day we visited earlier this week. Or maybe they've let Mother Nature overwater them. I don't know. Regardless of the reason, I passed on buying hanging basket flowers. I'm the type of person who really needs to start with healthy flowers. Therefore, I brought home 4 in regular pots, because they all looked healthy. So, my first tip is to pay attention to the

Worry is Waste

How many moments do we waste worrying about things we aren't able to control? I know I've had my fair share of moments like that. I won't say that I never worry anymore. Human nature is to worry. But I worry much less these days, because I trust God to take care of all my needs and problems. According to my NLT study Bible, worrying leads to immobilization, but concern leads us to action. I like that they have shown me the difference between worry and concern. Let's, now, read today's Scripture about the impacts of worry and the effects of trusting God from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 6:25-34 says, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your

Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate . Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments.  Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation. Listen to Meditation 4 . In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made u
