I Did Not Get What I Prayed For, But….

September 10, 2021

I asked GOD for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of GOD.
I asked for all things , that I might enjoy life
I was given life,that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for —–
But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were
Answered
I am among all people, most richly blessed.

Jesus is coming. It may be today, tomorrow, next week or next year, but it can be very soon. Are you ready?

Have you decided to invite Him to be your Savior? His blood cleanses us from all sin. He died and rose again and is coming for those who have believed and put their trust in Him.

Tomorrow may be too late!

Faithful Witness

September 7, 2021

Tom Floyd has been going to a local thrift store once or twice a week for about 6 years. He sets up a small table with the SOS Events “3 Things GOD Can Not Do” display board.

Over the years, he has had many opportunities to give people the gospel. People respond. Sometimes they accept Jesus as their Savior, or they ask for prayer about a problem.

God blesses the faithful person who never gives up. Thank you, Tom for you faithfulness.

Proverbs 28:20 – A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

Labor Day!

September 6, 2021

Labor Day is a holiday in the USA to honor men and women in the workplace. It is a day set aside to celebrate with parades, picnics and family gatherings.

The Bible tells us a lot about labor:

Exodus 20:9-11 – Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Ephesians 4:28 – Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

1 Thessalonians 1:3 – Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

These are just a few verses, there are many more. A good study. If you are struggling with burdens today these following verses will bring you comfort and rest:

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30

Pray For Your Pastor Today

September 5, 2021

God gave us the Pastor of our church to help us get through hard times. The Pastor officiates at our wedding, celebrates the birth of our children, prays with us in sickness and sorrows, and at the death of a loved one.

All the time having the same problems we have in his own family. He needs our prayers. Take a few minutes and pray for him today.

Pray he will have power of the Holy Spirit to preach the truth. Pray he will not be distracted by people or circumstances. Pray God will comfort him as he has the burden of his own but also takes the burdens of his whole congregation.

Most of all do not have roast preacher for lunch. Do not talk negatively about him or his family. Let us love our Pastor and show him our appreciation.

It’s Not What We Do, It’s What He’s Done

September 4, 2021

We think what we do will get us to Heaven, but it’s not what we do, it’s what Jesus did when he died on the cross. He paid the price for ALL our sin.

Nothing we do, all our “good” work will never be enough to have our sin forgiven.

We owe everything to Him. When we work doing something for Him, it is out of gratitude and our love for Jesus. It does not count to get us to Heaven. Only trusting in Jesus alone will give us eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast

Faithful Senior Sevants

September 3, 2021

Yesterday, many of SOS Events Senior Servants came to the Curtis home to work getting out the monthly, “Life Saver News”.

These ladies dedication is appreciated. Senior Servants started over 10 years ago. The 3 ladies who were our first Senior Servants have gone home to be with the Lord, however, many more ladies have volunteered over the years. If everyone comes there are 24 faithful ladies who help get out the newsletter each month.

Their rewards will be in Heaven someday, but the joy of a job well done, food and fellowship gives them happiness when they get together now.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Not By Power or Might

September 1, 2021

Have you ever tried to do something and you utterly failed? You failed because you were doing it in your own strength.

The Bible tells us it is not by our power or strength, but by the Holy Spirit.

God wants us to take our failures and fears to Him and the Holy Spirit will turn those failures into success if we give it all to Him.
