A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Thanksgiving Day”
Revelation 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
Don’t you just love new? Now, keep in mind, I am talking from a woman’s heart here. New shoes, new dress, new car, new house, just new, new, new. Oh, you guys quit rolling those eyes. Let me see----new gun, new boat, new fishing rod, new motorcycle, new camo. Seriously folks, there is coming a day when All things will be new. Talk about a Thanksgiving Day! Everyday will be Thanksgiving, forever and ever. We will have all eternity to be thankful. The things I previously named are trivial. We won’t be thinking about “things” on that day. Whatever Jesus says is true and faithful. You can take it to the bank and when He says there will be a new heaven and a new earth and free water of life; that is just what He means. I want you to know, I just can’t wait for that glorious city. I not only want to drink that water of life, I want to jump in it and be immersed in it. I want to run to Jesus and hold on to His precious feet. Jesus also said, “I will be their God and they will be my people. Makes me want to shout! This old clay is going to give way to glory. Oh, to be in His presence!
To Him Who sets on the throne and unto the Lamb, be blessing and glory and honor and power forever----O Lord we fall before you with thanksgiving. We bless your Holy Name. Amen

"Big Ears"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Big Ears”
Revelation 2: 10-11 ….Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of Life…He that has an ear, let him hear……
Maybe you are reading this today and you have gone through unspeakable things in your life. Maybe you are going through those unspeakable things now. I am here to tell you, it doesn’t matter what you are going through. We serve a Living Savior, who cares about those unspeakable things. He cares about everything about you, small or great. God provided David with the power to kill Goliath and He will provide you with that same power if you will let Him. Open up your ears and hear what the Lord says to you. Jesus will always speak if your have your ears on. We will receive a crown of life---a crown of LIFE. With Christ we will live for eternity in His presence. Be ye faithful!
Lord of all eternity, I love you supremely. Keep my ears and heart open to what You have to say to me. I want to listen to everything You have to say. Help me to stay in Your Living Word. Give me understanding according to Your Word. Thank you for Your power and peace that passes all understanding. I will be faithful unto death. Amen

"Call 911"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Call 911”
Psalms 91:15
He shall call upon Me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
Actually I would like for you to read all the verses in Psalm 91:1-16. There are so many promises in these verses. When I read them, I feel humbled. We are so unworthy and He loves us anyway. I admit, I don’t understand this kind of love, but I sure do like it. Sometimes we have a real problem with talking to the Lord. We get so wrapped up in our daily lives, we forget about Jesus and we forget to pray. If everything is good and things are looking up for us, we think we don’t need Him. We treat Jesus like a 911 emergency number and only call on Him when we need Him. I can tell you now---He will stick closer to you than a brother or sister. He is only a thought away. Peter got out of the boat to walk on the water and he started to go under, he spoke three words, three words, that’s all. He said, “Jesus save me.” Our Lord reached down His hand and pulled Peter up out of the water. Of course Peter walked with Jesus everyday and knew Him. He knew Jesus was his only hope. We can have that same relationship with Jesus. He is no respecter of persons. He love us just as much as He ever did Peter and always will. He wants us with Him for all eternity. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am soooo thankful we DO have Him for the emergencies as well. Let us not keep Him tucked away in our pocket only to call 911. Let us praise and worship and talk to Him everyday.
Lord of all creation and even me, I come to You with a thankful heart. I am humbled by Your unconditional love. Draw me close to You. I trust You with my very life. Help me to talk to You and walk with You everyday from this day forward. Thank You, Lord for always coming to me in time of trials and trouble. Amen
