Daily Thoughts

In the P of GP we read about how the Lord commanded Enoch to preach repentance to the people and then baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, which bears record of the Father and the Son.  Moses 7:10-11 "And the Lord said unto me: Go to this people, and say unto them—Repent, lest I come out and smite them with a curse, and they die.  And he gave unto me a commandment that I should baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, which is full of grace and truth, and of the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of the Father and the Son."

In the New Testament we read about the prophesies that were fulfilled in the coming of Christ, His crucifixion and His resurrection. Acts 13:26-34 "Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.  For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.  And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.  And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,  God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us not to listen to the counsel of the ungodly or spend our time with sinners and scornful people, but rather to take delight in the law of the Lord and meditate upon it day and night.  Sometimes when we think of meditation, we think of a hippie sitting cross legged and chanting "Ohm, ohm, ohm!" But meditation can really mean to think, ponder and pray about what we've studied in the scriptures, giving us time to commune with God and allowing His word to sink deep into our hearts.   Psalms 1:1-2 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night."
