L' Ecole, School, la Escuela

Hi reader!

School is almost out! One week left! For me anyway. I need to take finals and i have to study a lot. If you're in high school you probably know what I mean. All the teachers pressuring you to study and remember stuff that they taught at the beginning of school, which we forgot thanks to all the work and new material that we have to learn! Ugh... and I know that I'm not going to study because I have to go to church, and I want to graduate from the Institute so I can get my preacher's diploma, certificates and preacher's licence. I still have to graduate high school, so I will try and study anyway. I just can't wait for summer vacation though!

That's it for now. Remember God is always merciful and he won't give you a weight that you can't carry!

The Lord's Names

Hi readers! Well as you can tell by the title I'm going to tell you about the names of God. Yes God has names.... I think around 22 or 24 maybe. Most of the names were revealed to Moses. Today though I'm going to "reveal" to you only 10. (I'm gonna start with the Jehovah ones) Ok let's go!
Name-Meaning-(example verse)

Jehovah-the supreme, God, the Lord (Bible)

Jehovah Jireh- The Lord will provide (Gen. 22:14)

Jehovah Rafa-Jehovah is my healer (Exo. 15:26)

Jehovah Nissi- Jehovah is my banner - The Lord will raise/who raises my flag (Exo. 17:15)

Jehovah Mekkaddesh(Mekkaddeshoem)- Jehovah who sanctifies me (Lev. 20:8)

Jehovah Sabbaot- Lord of hosts/armies (1st Sam. 1:3)

Jehovah Shalom-The Lord is our Peace (Jdg. 6:24)

Jehovah Roi- The Lord is my Sheppard (Pslm. 23:1)

Jehovah Tsid Kenu- The Lord is my justice (Jer. 23:6)

Jehovah Shama- Jehovah is present (Ezq. 48:35)

Well, there you have them! Now you know some names of God. (The one and only God ,father of Jesus and savior of my soul) He he. thanks for reading and may Jehovah be with you! Plus Jesus plus the Holy Spirit =)

Things Overlooked

Isn't it amazing how God made everything? The things that we just take for granted, things overlooked. For example, look at your hand. All those grooves and the fingerprints. Maybe you have some marks on yours, or your fingers bend a certain way? Yet God took the time to make every single little groove and every single cell in that hand. Every bone and every finger, God took time to make each one a little different and unique. You may think " my hands are ugly." Well think of all that you can do with them; grab, pet, write, touch and so much more.
Now think of those that don't have any hands. Those people who can't run their fingers through their daughter's hair, or those who have no eyes to see the rain that they feel on their face. Those who are not able to walk, but sit for the rest of their lives.
Are we not privileged? Having legs to walk, eyes to see and hands to feel with. Yet sometimes we take most things for granted; the stars, the moon, birds, flowers, music, chocolate cake or a fresh cool breeze... we just need to take time out of our day and give thanks to God for all that he's done.
Thanks for reading and may God keep blessing you everyday.

Ephesians 2:8-10

Hi Everyone!
Haven't posted in a long time... eh but what else is new? Anyways someone asked me (a very long time ago, oops) what was my opinion on Ephesians chapter two, verses eight through ten. which states:

"8. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God

9. Not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10. For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should work in them."

In my opinion-

verse 8. For by grace... through faith

I think grace is the base for which God saves the sinner and faith is the medium for which the believers receive salvation. (vea- Romans 3:24)

verse 9. Not of works

Salvation is NOT by what we can do (no matter how good we are) for if it were by good deeds it would exclude the divine grace.

verse 10. His workmanship...

The believer is a new creation (vea- 2Chorithians 5:17) created by God for his Glory.

Good Works- Salvation is not by deeds/works (vea- verse 9) but it is evident that good deeds/works are the fruit of salvation (vea- James 2:18)

Well there you have it,God bless and stay faithful!
