The Road! by Myra Boozer

The road may seem long and winding as you set out on your day.

You may have faced adversity or danger along the way.

Troubles and trials may have arisen, obscuring your light of day.

But don't give up...for Rest is on His way.

Rest is not elusive, for He is here to stay.

He comes in time to reveal and heal.

He comes from God the Father...the Trusting, Faithful One.

He understands your heartache and captures all your tears.

So put your hand in His hand and steady your pace,

Tomorrow you may lay your eyes on His Heavenly Face… 

Yield To The Master's Directions!

A gentle wind blows across the grassy lowland today. The tall blades of grass sway back and forth as the wind caresses each one. It is as though each individual stem is engaged in a perpetual dance with the Creator. First this way and that way, around and around, up and down. It is such a beautiful scene to observe, but how wonderful it would be to participate.

And, we do participate! We are engaged with our Creator in this beautiful production we call life. The orchestra plays, and we move to the music much like the wind blowing upon the grassy field. The wind of life influences each and every movement, first this way and then that way, around and around, up and down.

God is the Grand Conductor of this beautiful experience. He is in control of it all. However, each participant must yield to the Master’s direction and respond to each command. Then, we become part of the Master’s grand presentation, every movement synchronized and every note in perfect harmony. Oh, what a glorious sight to behold and exquisite sound to hear, each note and each movement drawing closer and closer to the crescendo and finale. Up, up, up, our spirit rises! Higher than ever before and then...we see the face of God!

What will you do with your opportunity to engage in the Master’s grand production? Are you faithfully rehearsing and preparing for the final performance? Or, have you been slack in your duty and commitment? Maybe even cast aside your instrument, and it lies motionless and useless, gathering dust in a corner somewhere?

You cannot proceed without the Master’s directions! Though you may have been absent, distracted, or focused on other things, the Master still holds your place. He always has a vacant chair for you, no auditions and no competition, just come to Him. He loves you! He will counsel, guide, and support you. He will prepare you for the final performance. Follow Him, and you will be ready for the Finale! Just Yield To The Master’s Direction! 

Life Is A Journey! by Myra Boozer

"Life is a journey, not a home, a road, a city or habitation. The enjoyments and blessings we have are but little Inns on the roadside of life where we may be refreshed for a moment, so we may press on to the end with new strength."

Our lives will come to an end one day because this is not our home. We are just passing through, and it seems to be very quick. "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away," Psalms 90:10.

We have a choice of where we want to live at the end of this journey. The roads we choose to travel have everything to do with where we will spend eternity. There is a highway of holiness that leads to eternal life. "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein," Isaiah 35:8. Sometimes this road seems hard to climb, because it is the narrow way and not many want to travel this road so you may not see all your friends. Don't fret. Jesus said in His word, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," Hebrews 13:5b.

WARNING! Don't go the broad way, the road that is most travelled. It may at first appear to be the right road because so many travel it and seem happy. They talk about the lights, the beautiful sights, the fun and the pleasures. Remember Moses? "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season:” Hebrews 12:25.

ALERT! The broad road leads to DESTRUCTION. "For wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be that find it," Matthew 7:13b.

God left us the road map, His Holy Word. He left us a guide, His Holy Spirit. In John 14:1-7, Jesus tells us to not be troubled. He also said that in His Father's house are many rooms, and He, Himself, was going to prepare us a place. He promised He would return and take us there. We don't have to figure out every detail, but we do have to trust in Jesus with all of our hearts. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life."

This journey is coming to a close one day. I am trusting in Jesus that I wind up in God's Big House with friends and family whom I love dearly. Hope to see you there!

You Can't Replace God's Plan And Have God's Favor! Conclusion

(for part 1 see 6/6/26)

1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God…”

The external, dark forces in our world are pressing in upon the boundaries of holiness and righteousness, which are so firmly established in God's Holy Word. We must push back and stop this intrusion. 1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” We need the correction of the Word by the Holy Spirit. This correction must begin at the “house of God.” This text indicates an examination by the Word and Spirit in the household of faith, the family of God.

The Bride of Christ will be presented to Him as chaste, pure, undefiled, and without spot or wrinkle. One role of the Holy Spirit is to illuminate the darkness and remove the covering for sin. The covering for sin is the absence of Truth. The Word of Truth illuminated by the Spirit of Truth will set the souls of men free to walk in the liberty which only God can give.

The promise of Christ is that as the Gospel goes forth, it is accompanied by His power and authority. When religious men compromise the Word of God, they fail to walk in the authority of Christ; therefore, there is no power. If there is no power in the message, ask by whose authority the message has come. Is this my message or the message from the heart of God? It must be God’s message, or we are Replacing The Plan Of God with our plan of flesh!

Revelation 22:18, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Are you Replacing God’s Plan with your own plan? “…what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 

Whose Work Are We Doing? by Myra Boozer

John 6:28, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established," Proverbs 16:3. Whose work are we doing? Our work or the Lord's work? When life is all about "ME," I am suddenly overtaken by my thoughts, which causes me to be living my life for me.

If my heart is on the Lord and His plan for my life, then my personal life becomes secondary, and serving Him takes priority. I don't have to search for work...but yield myself to BELIEVE ON HIM, and He will bring people and situations into my life that I can love and be a blessing to. That, my friend, is the GOOD LIFE...loving God and loving Others...that is His plan for us! Whose Work Are You Doing? 

You Can't Replace God's Plan And Have God's Favor!

Jude 1:3-4

You can’t replace God’s plan and expect God’s favor! Jude wrote to identify the apostasy that had crept into the Church in his day. False teachers were presenting Gnostic beliefs as truth. They believed and taught the emancipation of the spirit, while their flesh could do anything it liked, and as a result, they were guilty of all kinds of lawlessness. Vs. 4, For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Lasciviousness is defined by the Greek word “aselgia,” which means: wantonness, lewdness, sensual. HelpWord studies define it as “violent spite which rejects restraint and indulges in lawless insolence, shameless and defiant, contemptuous, expressing deep hatred or disapproval.” The use of this word indicates contempt for and revolt against the plan of God. Carnal men had chosen to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ and replace it with their own carnal theology.

Jude was also writing to warn future generations to guard against false doctrine. The departure from the “faith” began some time ago. What we are seeing now is the result of rejecting God’s plan and authority. This apostasy, defection, revolt is taking place right before our eyes. We can conclude that as this falling away takes place, we can know that “the day of Christ,” “the day of the Lord” is at hand. See 2 Thess. 2:1-3.

God’s judgment is upon us because of man’s sinful revolt against His influence in our daily lives. One reason for this impending judgment is the apostasy that has crept into the churches. The ideals of a carnal theology have infiltrated the pulpit and replaced the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

Sin and apostasy must be identified and addressed. Church leaders are obligated to seek for and teach the Truth. We are bound by our covenant and calling by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach and teach His Gospel. Today, we stand at the door of Christ’s return. Our task is to prepare for the appearing of the Son of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Our challenge is to make ready the bride to be united with the bridegroom.

Peace That Liberates The Soul! by Myra Boozer

Peace like a river flows from the Throne of our God. It is so clear and pure, rich in mercy and overflowing with Everlasting Life. It declares freedom for the prisoner...freedom from the chains that bind the hearts and lives of the sick, the depressed, and broken...

It is being released for all who are thirsty...to all who desire to be set free from this dry and thirsty land of deceit...free from the synthetic and make-believe peace that is being manufactured by politicians and even some so-called Christians.

Lord, your peace is genuine...it is perfect. It not only sets us free, but it also gives us the ability to live in this messed up world with Hope...set free with a great desire to be Real, Healed and Whole...

The soul of man cannot survive on any other source other than the True and Living Waters that flow from your Throne. It is the Peace that passes all our human understanding. It will soothe our doubts and calm all our fears.

Lord, may we have the fortitude to seek you and find you. May we be submissive to your passionate and unwavering love toward us. May we allow you to set us free. It is your great desire for each of us...
