It is so easy to get distracted by things that are beyond our control. If our attention is on the news, we can become fearful.
Everywhere we look there is something that can cause us to take our eyes off Jesus and live in fear and uncertainty, but we have promises in God’s Word that He is with us, He has everything in control and He is with us through any situation.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
Friendship in life is so important. Good friends are one of the blessings in life. CHRISTIANS have a friend that loves us unconditionally, walks with us continually and helps us constantly. JESUS is that friend.
If you do not have Him as your friend ask Him to come into your life today. He loves you just as you are and is waiting to be your friend.
To live a godly Christian life, we need to use the fruit that the Holy Spirit gives us.
God wants us to have all the gifts He Gives us. If we are weak in any area, then pray and ask Him to help us.
Maybe we get angry easily. We need to ask for gentleness. Or if we cannot forgive someone who has offended us, we need to love that person. We know where we are lacking. Today let us decide to use the gifts of the spirit and we will have a life that will please God and the people around us.
An important note. If you have not trusted Jesus as your Savior, you do not have the gifts of the spirit until you ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
Our children are the most precious gift given to us by God. Each one is unique and different.
We desire that our children grow up to be godly, productive adults.
However, they need guidance and direction. Children are born with a sin nature. Many temptations to follow sin are there especially today.
As parents it is our responsibility to train them to become the person God wants them to be.
Teach them to read the Bible daily, pray with them and for them continually. Train them to seek God’s will in every situation, in joy and in sorrow.
Home, church and school are where they spend the most time. Your home must be where they learn the most about God. Church is important as they will not only make it a priority but friendships are developed there. School is where they will spend the most of their time from kindergarten through high school and beyond… it is also the place where they learn to follow God or learn the worldly ways from teachers and fellow students. Christian school or home school is the only way to be sure they learn godly values.
It takes sacrifice on your part to make sure your children are getting the training that they need.
Pray God will help you to be the parent that trains your children in the way God wants them to go.
How do you react when someone or something irritates you. Do you get angry and want to lash out? Do you have a bad attitude?
Inside you allow that irritation to fester. That is not good for your health and it is certainly not pleasing to God.
Instead, think of the good in that person or circumstance. Be grateful that person is in your life. Maybe you are irritated with your spouse or children, a coworker in the workplace. Each of them has many good qualities. Be thankful for the good things.
Make a list of all the things in that person or situation that you can be thankful for and then pray and ask the Lord to bless them. Your attitude can make a great difference.
Let us decide right now to have a good attitude and be grateful in every situation.
Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
