I AM

Romans 8:38 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Scene: A fenced in area: a symbol of separation.

For the Lord our God has said, “I AM that I AM.” (Exodus 3:14) Nothing comes between the Father and His children, neither fence nor wall.

Romans 8:35-37 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ‘For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

                                                           LOOK FOR YOUR BLESSINGS

Exodus 23:25 “Worship the Lord your God, and his blessings will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.”

The Scene: Hands of a prospector panning, sifting sand looking for gold from a stream. Gold can be a symbol of God’s blessings to His children. The stream represents His “living water,” His Word, His promises.

Like a person looking for gold nuggets, the Lord’s children are to seek and find, daily, His blessings. The heavenly Father’s blessings are there for the seeking. When His people find His grace & blessings, they give thanks and praise to Him.

In praising, in lieu of complaining, we will find ourselves more joyful. If God’s children will make a habit of looking for His blessings daily, attitudes will be changed from being negative and depressing to attitudes of joy and peace.

Giving thanks to our Father God and His Son Jesus is pleasing to Them both, as They long for our right relationship with Them. That spiritual relationship can only come by listening to the Holy Spirit and doing what He says.

Ephesians 1:3-6 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.”

                                                               JESUS IS LIGHT

2 Corinthians 4:6 “ For God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”

The Scene: The narrow way, an otherwise dark street being illuminated by a tall streetlight, a representation of God’s people, believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God’s people are like street lights, brightly shining in a darkened world.

Jesus’ light shines into our hearts and that light shines out into a dark, sinful world.

1 John 1:5 “ This is the message we have heard from him and declares to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”

John 3:19-20 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.”

God’s children have this light given to them through the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it cannot be contained. For they are new creations and the world can see the difference. Many shun the light but some choose to come into the light and are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ.

                                                  NUMBER OF DAYS

Psalm 39:4 “Show me O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.”

The Scene: A ticket machine, like one used to determine a place in line– the number 25.500 appears on the next ticket. Seventy years equals 25,500 days.

Our time on earth is limited~~only God knows the exact number of days. We, therefore, are called upon to make the most of our days, living for God’s kingdom.

Psalm 90:10,12 “The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

We are called to study and learn from God’s Word, gaining in His knowledge and understanding.

2Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
