Our uplifting encouraging morning scripture verse is from Revelation Chapter 1.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time is near. Scripture verse 8, I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. This Bible verse indicates God is eternal, without beginning and without end.
The Bible ends in a happy way.
Everyone loves a story with a happy ending. Some people even cheat and just read the last chapter. Well, in God’s story that He is writing, God finishes in a very positive way. His story includes the history of humanity, the earth, and the rest of the universe.
So jump to the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, and see how God finishes in a happy way. At the end, all evil is conquered, all evil is thrown into the eternal trash can called the Lake of fire. Unfortunately, those that follow evil also end up in the trash can. God is on the throne. There is a heavenly wonderful city called the New Jerusalem, and God’s people live with God in this city for eternity. So it is important to believe in Jesus to be a part of the happy ending.
A few of us at Olive Tree worked on a few Christmas multi-media presentations. Please give us some feedback with the survey on the same page. How much do you know about the birth of Jesus Christ? By the way, it’s great that Christ is still in the most popular word “CHRISTmas”.
It is interesting that the scientists called the newly discovered sub-atomic particle the “God particle”. Man must think “God” is important. So when you want cause and origin, use the word “God”. Um, so does everyone think God is really important? I heard it cost 9 billion dollars to discover the latest sub-atomic particle.
This Flower may contain many God Particles
I believe that in man’s spirit is the desire for God, and some knowledge about God. Our conscious gives us bad feelings when we do something wrong. So in every man is a God shaped place and feeling that affects man’s thinking. The atomic particle is called the Higgs Boson after the scientist Peter Higgs, and is also called the God Particle.
Courage, which is the ability to face anything, comes from God. Courage comes from God, Faith comes from God. The best Bible verse for this is: Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. So never give up, God loves you. Sometimes we need to fight through and trust The Lord. The secret of victory over fear is very simple – it is trusting Jesus.
Which is more important, your left foot or your right foot. There may be some debate on this, but I personally prefer BOTH. So with my time, is it prayer or Bible Study or teaching or preaching or writing or coordinating? And the winner is, we need all of them. Just like my body as Paul talked about in First Corithians, we need all the members and we need all the functions in the body of Christ.

Some of us who are very active (like me) find it sometimes even hard to just read the Bible. We always have another idea to develop for some project or initiative, and our minds just will not stop to listed to God’s word. But still its best to try as we can to devote time in the morning to God in prayer.
