Why Does God Do What God Does?

In love he predestined us to be adopted as his children in accordance with his pleasure and will.
  Paul
 
     Did you ever wonder why God does what God does?  I mean, when you really wonder about it, have you ever wondered what is his motivator that motivates him to be motivated to do what he gets motivated to do? And then, he just goes right on ahead and does what he does.
     Well I can't give you an answer on what always motivates God to do what he does, but I can tell you something that might just be the answer.  Simply check out the scripture above.  What do the first 3 words say?  "In love he..."
     Yup! God is motivated because God is "IN love" with you and me, and a whole bunch of other folks that he permanently adopts as his children.  In other words, if you are reading this, and you turned your life over to Jesus, you are an adopted child of God because God simply chose to love y-o-u.  He did not do it because you were so pretty, handsome, beautiful and good looking.  He did not do it because you and I are the best of the best.  Nope! He did it because he simply chose to love us.
   Next we see God did this adoption "in accordance with his pleasure..."  Can't fault God for that.  His motivation is not only love based, it is pleasure based.  God gets a whole lot of pleasure having children, whose lives he is going to change for the good.  No big pay back for God here.  Just like we are pleased to see our children (or someone else children) grow up, God is "tickled pink" that he did what he did for you in me, as he brought us into the family of God.
     Last thing.  Can I get a drum roll?  God does what he does because he is in love.  He does this because it brings him pleasure.... are you ready for it?..... Here it comes.  He does it in accordance with his pleasure... AND HIS WILL!  So many people want to know what is God's will.  Well here is a BIG one.  It is God's will to adopt you and me into the family of God.  Yes he is in love with us.  Yes... it really does bring him pleasure.  But he also does it because he WANTS TO do it.
 
    So why not appreciate the love of God today?  Why not be tickled pink that God is tickled pink about you?  Why not just jump for joy that God wants you in his life... up close and personal.
 
Now Go On Out And Be Blessed 2day
Especially 2day.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
