For us who are in the path of the storm, a special reminder to look to Jesus for wisdom, comfort and protection. To those of you who are not affected by the storms please pray for those who are.
Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Sometimes in life when we think there is only sorrow or trials, we think God has forsaken us. Then He gives us a blessing to show us that He cares and loves us. When going through the darkest trial look for the blessing. It may be something very small, like a phone call or text message from family or friend. It may be something big like a rainbow after the storm, but God is there and we need to lean on Him for peace and comfort.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
There is a great storm coming in our direction within the next few days, for the people who live in Florida and the eastern USA. Hurricanes are dangerous as we have seen in Texas recently. Many people are frightened and are preparing as they should, however, as Christians we should not fear. Pray and trust the Lord for safety. Material things can be replaced but lives cannot.
Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
It is football season. The true football fan will spend money for clothing in their favorite teams colors. They spend Sunday afternoon at the game or glued to the television and cheer and yell when their favorite player makes a touchdown. What enthusiasm for a game. We have someone much greater that the best football star that ever lived and that is the Lord Jesus. Let us show some enthusiasm for Him and tell others about The gift of salvation He has given us. That is something we can shout about, and we can never loose.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
This hymn written by Will L. Thompson in 1904 expresses what Jesus should mean to every Christian.
Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad,
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
My Friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o’er and o’er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest’s golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I’ll be;
Oh, how could I this Friend deny,
When He’s so true to me?
Following Him I know I’m right,
He watches o’er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night,
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better Friend;
I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when
Life’s fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He’s my Friend.
There have been several new babies born recently into the families of SOS Events Ministry staff. It is a wonderful blessing to see these newborns grow. Within a month or two they are already learning new things and look totally different then when they were first born. The same should be true for new Christians. When they are born again they are like new babies. They should be growing in the knowledge of the Lord. Their talk should be different and even their appearance changes. In August SOS Events had the privilege of seeing almost 800 people make decisions for Christ. They will all get Bible studies and the local churches will also do follow up. Pray these new babes in Christ will grow into mature Christians.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
