A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Son of Mary”
Mark 6:3
Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us? And the were offended at Him.
They couldn’t get their heads around Jesus being Mary’s Son and yet, still coming down from heaven. To the Jews He was just a carpenter, the Son of Mary. Jesus’ family lived in such a lowly way of life. You just didn’t put carpenters or tanners or butchers in a position of King. The people couldn’t believe He was the Messiah. He was only a carpenter and the Son of Mary, brother of James. The people were offended with the attitude of “who does He think He is” Let me tell you who He is. He is the Christ the Son of the Living God. The One who was born in a manger of the sweet virgin Mary, raised as a lowly carpenter, beaten, bruised, and with a crown of thorns on His head was crucified on the cross for you and me and arose on the third day and STILL HE LIVES and HE LIVES FOREVERMORE!!!!!! Happy Easter!!!!
Say: Thank You Father for spilling Your precious blood for me. Thank You for going to the Cross willingly. I am so glad that I serve a Living God. Thank You for Your Word, and Your mercy and Your grace. I love You. Amen

"All The Good"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“All The Good”
Matthew 7:12
12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Let me rephrase this verse so you will recognize it. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I believe this is the Golden Rule. When I was growing up we lived by this. We were to treat other children like we wanted to be treated. If we wanted others to treat us with kindness—we treated them kind—if we wanted to be treated with love—we treated others with love. You know when you plant watermelon seeds; you reap a harvest of watermelons. Don’t let satan fool you into not caring about how you treat others. See others through Jesus’ eyes. It is NOT every man for himself. We are here to help others and to see to it that everyone we come in contact with has the opportunity to have salvation through Christ Jesus the Son of The Living God and to have the Blessed Hope of Heaven. Turn your thinking around, you know, Jesus may come today!
Say: Lord of all, I want to treat others with Your love. I want to take everyone I can to Heaven with me. Give me the wisdom and the words to say to win others to You. Thank You Father, for Your love, mercy and grace. Help me to show others your Grace. Amen
Quote For The Day:
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.

"The Good Stuff"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“The Good Stuff”
Psalms 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might sin against You.
What do you have hidden in your heart? Is the Living Word of God hidden in there so you won’t sin against the One True and Living God? David laid up God’s Word in his heart to use when he needed it. David highly valued God’s Word. He was afraid of losing or being robbed of his wonderful Treasure he had found. David knew if he kept this Treasure just in his home, then it could be stolen. If he kept it as just head knowledge, then it could be forgotten. But, when you keep it in your heart and soul, then you can come against sin head on without fear. You can do as Christ did when He faced the devil…...”It is written…..Ole satan CAN NOT stand up to the Living Word. Quoting the Bible will make him flee. David knew what to do in any situation. He sought the “Good Stuff”. He went straight to the Lord. Be wise and memorize!
Say: Heavenly Father, You are the God of the universe. I praise You with a whole heart. Keep me hungry for Your Word. I want to devour Your Word in my heart. I will memorize Your Word and tell satan to flee in Your Name. Amen

"My Beloved"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“My Beloved”
Song of Solomon 6:3
I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine:
The relationship is mutual. The knot is tied. Jesus is yours and you are His. No one can take you from His hand. Our communication with the Lord keeps up our relationship with Him. We can’t possibly know Him and what He wants us to do and be without this communication. We must pray and read His Word and allow Him to speak to us. Not just once a week or once a month, but daily. We set aside time daily to spend with Jesus. It is a choice, we choose to spend time-out of our busy schedule-to talk to Him. Can you call Jesus your beloved? Is He on your mind when you arise in the morning and when you lay your head down on your pillow at night? Make this your mission and your heart’s desire today. When you call someone “your beloved” it takes on a whole new meaning.
Say: I am your beloved, Lord and You are mine. Help me to show it. I will choose to seek Your face daily. I will choose to read Your Word daily. I will choose to be Your Beloved. Amen
