Scripture of the Day
Luke 16:22-23 (KJV)
"Cozy By The Fire"
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
------------------------------------
Think about it! Cozy by the fire! a place of comfort, warmth, and rest! A place where there is no worry! If you live in the colder parts of the world . . . you can appreciate a nice cozy fire, with a good book and the sounds of the angels! GOD has that place for all of us! When we accept HIS Son as our Savior and Lord, we have privilege to that comfortable, warm, and relaxing place! We can be cozy by the fire just as Lazarus was! Without CHRIST we will find ourselves tormented IN the fire!
Accept JESUS and get cozy by the fire, with the Good Book of JESUS and hear the angels rejoice! It the arms of the Savior . . . cozy by the fire, but not consumed by the fire! There is no place like home, when you live with GOD our FATHER!

When reading to the left and to the right of 16:22,23; Luke 16:19-31 is an awesomely powerful example of what confronts many of us daily. Compared to many others, we are as the rich man; blessed with a lot, and surrounded by others that are far less fortunate. The rich man in the text was pre-occupied with his own comfort, to the exclusion of others. We obviously are to attempt to provide for our families and ourselves, but how many of us are deaf and blind to the Lazaruses that we confront daily. Though we realize that we cannot save the world by ourselves, we can endeavor to allow God to steer the giving of our time, talent, and treasure.
Johnny M,
I am reminded of James 2:14-17.
"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
We can't just see and pray! We must see, pray and do the will of GOD!
Rejoice In HIS Blessings This Day!
