Loving The God of Truth

Welcome to all those in the ODM who desire to know and to love the God of Truth through the faithful study of His Word. Please feel free to share your comments, insights, questions, concerns, words of encouragement, thanksgiving, praise, and prayer requests with all of us.

May God most richly bless the reading of His precious Word to our hearts this year.

"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
They are sweeter than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned;

In keeping them there is great reward."

(Psalm 19:7-11)

Warning to Rich Oppressors

"Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes...gold and silver corroded."

God reminds us that none of our earthly wealth or belongings are eternal. We see money, technology (computers, cell, etc.), cars, and etc. as necessities, but how easily they corrode! We are so blessed with riches, shelter, and food compared to those in developing countries, the homeless in the inner-cities. Let us not take any of these things for granted. We must not forget that our worth and riches is only found in the love of our Heavenly Father.

Can't believe its already December! As we prepare for this Christmas season lets give and share abundantly because we've received the best gift of all..Jesus :)

It's getting cold...stayyy warm!

thanks innie for your reflection. we may not be "rich oppressors" but there is a warning in this passage to all of us who are guilty of living "in luxury and self-indulgence". james warns us that our excesses will surely catch up to us to our detriment. may we all pay heed to this injunction.
