Chesterg believes “God the Son” Jesus Christ  is the only answer to solving the problems of our World.  In the beginning Adam & Eve lived in a perfect place known as “The Garden of Eden”.  God gave them Choice as He gives all of Us..  Adam & Eve chose to learn the difference between Good & Evil or Sin. Sin came into the World and Man tried and failed to conquer it.  It was only when God gave His only Son to represent the Blood sacrifice  that took the sins of the World  so that any who Believed and “Trusted and Obeyed God” would be Children of God and have Eternal Life.

When a person tries to live according to the World’s views & rules it ends in failure.  God said in John 15 “you can do Nothing unless you Abide in me.”.  The World continually tells us “ Be in Control” and we love control and so we have disaster.

I believe what Acts 17: 11 says” read your Bible and check every thing I have said to be true in the Bible”. “God the Son” Jesus said when He was resurrected to be with His Father “God the Father” You can do what I have done and more by keeping close to God and communicating daily with Him.  A good formula for doing that is having a daily set time to annually reading the Bible cover to cover, praying continually, and listening and recording His Communication.  Another good suggestion is to read a Proverb a day.  There are 31 of them.  Another promise Jesus made upon His leaving was “ I will send the Comforter “God the Holy Spirit” to walk along side  of you.

Proverbs 3: 5–6 says  “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight”.

 ¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear? 
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

 ² When evil men advance against me 
to devour my flesh, ^[a] 
when my enemies and my foes attack me, 
they will stumble and fall.

 ³ Though an army besiege me, 
my heart will not fear; 
though war break out against me, 
even then will I be confident.

 ⁴ One thing I ask of the LORD, 
this is what I seek: 
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
all the days of my life, 
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD 
and to seek him in his temple.

 ⁵ For in the day of trouble 
he will keep me safe in his dwelling; 
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle 
and set me high upon a rock.

 ⁶ Then my head will be exalted 
above the enemies who surround me; 
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; 
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

 ⁷ Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; 
be merciful to me and answer me.

 ⁸ My heart says of you, "Seek his ^[b]face!" 
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

 ⁹ Do not hide your face from me, 
do not turn your servant away in anger; 
you have been my helper. 
Do not reject me or forsake me, 
O God my Savior.

 ¹⁰ Though my father and mother forsake me, 
the LORD will receive me.

 ¹¹ Teach me your way, O LORD; 
lead me in a straight path 
because of my oppressors.

 ¹² Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, 
for false witnesses rise up against me, 
breathing out violence.

 ¹³ I am still confident of this: 
I will see the goodness of the LORD 
in the land of the living.

 ¹⁴ Wait for the LORD; 
be strong and take heart 
and wait for the LORD.

A Happy Memorial Day

 A month ago the rope broke that  

held my Flag.   All this time I have

been searching for a ladder tall

enough to install a new rope with

the Flag.  In my Quite time the

thought came to me, “Call Ozark

Electric they service a higher pole

Near my Flag Pole”  The Repair

Man at Ozark said, “if when we

have a man in your area we will

put the rope through the pulley

for your Flag.Yesterday Wen &

Roger came and put the Flag up.

It was going to be flying on

Memorial Day.  My Wife said

they were very kind and helpful

they Knew how to tie and install

the Flag. When I came home to

see the Flag waving again it

brought tears.  God and our great

country mean a lot to a Purple Heart

Veteran of War 11.

Do you have a Quite time and

Able to search God’s great

Information Bank?  A Quite

Time is available to each of

Us if we set aside some time

each day to pray, read our Bible

and communicate with God.

God is the only answer to our

Problems and He gives us the

Peace we search for.
