A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Keeps Watch”
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Wow! What a promise! We can take this promise up close and personal. This is spoken directly to us. Jesus is our very present help in the time of need. He will not fail us. He will help us. We have nothing to fear from our God. Fear is the opposite of love. The Lord keeps watch over us; He does not sleep or nap or get busy with other things and forget about us. Jesus is not only just in calling distance---He is present with us---always---not sometimes---always---always---always. And again I say, always. So what ever we go through, or feel, or see, or think we know about any situation we are in, just remember HE KEEPS WATCH.
Say: Thank You, Lord for keeping watch when I am asleep or awake. I will trust You until I draw my very last breath. I trust You completely. I trust You with my life, my family’s life and in all situations. Amen

"Celebrate"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Celebrate”
Luke 15:23
…and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.
Have you ever been sooooo glad to see someone that you haven’t seen in a long time? You might cook a special dinner or throw a party and invite other friends into your home to help you celebrate. You might even have your delightful celebration put in the newspaper or of course you would tell others how wonderful it was to see your long lost friend or loved one. Is it going to be a celebration for you when you meet Jesus face to face or do you dread the meeting? Are you just beside yourself with anticipation at seeing Him? How are you going to prepare for this celebration? The father in this scripture went all out to make sure his son knew how much he was loved and missed him. Jesus is preparing for the greatest celebration of all. He is preparing a wedding table for us all. He wants us to know how much He loves us. We will be forever be in celebration with Him. The lost son prepared to meet his father by deciding to go home. The father prepared to meet the son by running to meet him from a far off. Then he prepared him a feast like he had never seen before. How will you prepare to meet the King? Will you watch and pray? Will you live your life being about the Father’s Business? Will you tell others about His love and grace? Let us be preparing for “The Greatest Celebration” of all times!! Let us celebrate here on earth until that day comes! The bible tells us to celebrate with songs and hymns. When we enter into the sanctuary we should come in with praise, songs and above all CELEBRATION!! Celebrate Jesus, Celebrate!!!!!
Say: Jesus, I celebrate You. You and you alone are worthy to be praised and worshiped. I long for that Great Celebration that will never end. I long to see You face to face and to cast my crowns at Your feet. I long to be at that wedding table. I Love You Lord. I long to hear “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter in.” Amen

"Unexpected Miracles"
A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Unexpected Miracles”
1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!........
While visiting a local nursing home this week, I was privileged to hear and witness the sweetest song ever uttered. One precious little lady was sitting on one couch, her hair was white and she was slumped over so that you could not see all of her and she was dressed in a pink Snuggy. Another little lady was sitting on the other couch and two more little ladies were roaming around in their wheel chairs. A visitor came in the door and sat down with this particular little lady and ask her if she was ready to sing. Then she began singing Beulah Land. This little lady chimed in with the clearest harmony voice I had ever heard. Turning around I looked straight into the brightest most content eyes I had not seen in a long time. The visitor ask her what else she would like to sing. By now I was clapping and telling her what a wonderful voice she had. She said, “Well, I don’t sing as good as I used too.” She looked down thinking about her song she wanted to pick. All of a sudden she looked up and looked straight into my eyes and smiled. She started to sing, “There’s a land that is fairer than day. And by faith we can see it afar, for the Father waits over the way, To prepare us a dwelling place there.” With all that was within me and with tears streaming down my face, I thanked her. I felt like I had just looked into the face of Jesus. So moved and so thankful to the Dear Lord I had received this blessing. I knew this was a divine meeting of the souls put together by God Himself. I was soooooo changed and will never forget. It was like she new this “land fairer than day” was just around the corner.
Say: Dear Lord, of Heaven and Earth, I thank You for Your many blessings above and beyond my needs. Thank You for the little blessing that are really miracles. I praise and worship You. Forgive me when I don’t trust and serve You the way I should. Make me a blessing to others. Amen
