J. P.'s Inspirations   ~CALLED AND EQUIPPED~   "Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharoah that thou mayest bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of  Egypt." .....(Exodus 3: 10) ********************************* Humanly speaking, we see Moses was an unlikely candidate to be called as the one to lead the Children of Israel  out of Egypt.  There was a price on his head in Egypt and he was in exile.  Yet, we see God's ways are not our  ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts.    Moses was chosen by God. Even though he felt he was not qualified to be their leader, God equipped Him with all he needed to carry forth His will and set God's people free.    We are also unqualified for the mission which the Lord calls us. Jesus will remind us that  he chose us, we did not choose Him.    (Jn. 15: 16).   He will supply all we need to enable us to successfully work for Him.   By His Spirit and Word, we are led and spiritually fed.  As God gives us spiritual food and leads us, we are also to share with others.  If we let the Lord's will be done in our lives and follow Him, we shall have success  in all we attempt in His service.   Success in the eyes of God, is different than  in the eyes of men.  To obey is better than  sacrifice, and God  rewards our  faithful obedience.   Remember that God told Moses, "I will be with you" and still tells us these same words today.  If we listen closely, we can hear the Lord speaking to our hearts.    He will never leave or forsake us and will be there always, even until the end of the age.  Whatever God has called us to do, God will  go before and prepare the way.   If we are called to share God's Word with  others, the Lord will bless us as we seek and let Him equip us for the task.   He alone is able supply the spiritual food to sustain souls that they might  grow in His grace and knowledge.    We have God's blessed assurance and can claim every promise He has  given us.  We give thanks for the ever abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and God's help in our lives each day.   Blessings In Christ, Jo Ann Kelly ©  2010. 2004 J. P.'s Inspirations *******************************   REJOICE IN THE LORD (Poetic thoughts taken from Isaiah 44)   He has blotted out as a thick cloud, all thy transgressions Sing, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath done great things,   Shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing ye mountains, He stretcheth forth the heavens alone, He keeps us safe under His wings.   He is the Lord who maketh all things, He confirmeth the word of His servants, Fear ye not, neither be thou afraid; He is the first and the last, beside Him there is no God.   He will pour water upon those who seek Him, Jesus will give drink to a thirsty soul, The Lord will bless those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, He is a wonder to behold.   Praise the Lord for His mercies, He will pour out His blessing upon thy offspring His Spirit will He give to those who seek Him,  With His promises He gives hope to all.   Rejoice all ye that trust in the Savior, He will give joy and make your heart sing, Lift up your heads and rejoice in the Lord, He will be there when on Him you call.   Jo Ann Kelly J. P.'s Inspirations ************************************ QUOTES AND ONE-LINERS   The warfare of the Christian is like foreign missions, romantic to talk about, but drably realistic to live through.   A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position of leadership by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of the external situation. Proverbs 3: 5-6   Our Lord told His disciples that love and obedience were organically united.   The final test of love is obedience. John 14: 23-24 When the Holy Spirit is ignored or rejected, religious people are forced either to do their own creating or to fossilize completely.   In a very real sense, no man can teach another; he can only aid him to teach and help himself. Proverbs 9: 9   To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love. Proverbs 21: 21.   Quotes From ......A. W. Tozer's Little Instruction Book **********************************************************     ************************* Have A Blessed Day!   "And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God Himself is Judge." Psalm 50: 6   Song Wav:  "Feed My Sheep"....
