Let God Direct Your Steps!

January 21, 2023

Why is it important to allow God to direct our steps?

We make wrong decisions when we do not pray and seek God’s will for our lives.

How can we know which way to go? God will never take us anywhere that is against the principles in the Bible.

God will not lead us to walk with companions who are living in sin.

He will open the right doors for us to go through and shut the doors if it is not His will for us.

Conclusion: Pray, Read and study the Bible, Ask advice from people who are close to God, Seek friendships of people who love the Lord.

Who Can You Trust?

January 20, 2023

Who can you fully trust in? Family and friends may fail you but, Jesus never fails. The Bible tells us to trust in Jesus with all our heart.

What we think about is also very important. Philippians 4:9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things

Two last lessons from a children’s song.

Oh be careful little heart whom you trust
Oh be careful little heart whom you trust
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little heart whom you trust

Oh be careful little mind what you think
Oh be careful little mind what you think
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little mind what you think

What We Do And Where We Go!

January 19, 2023

Oh be careful little hands what you do
Oh be careful little hands what you do
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little hands what you do

Oh be careful little feet where you go
Oh be careful little feet where you go
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little feet where you go

Sometimes we are tempted to do something we shouldn’t. Taking something that does not belong to us. Maybe it is just a small thing from work or something we found and do not look for it’s owner. Whatever tempts us to do something we know we shouldn’t is sin.

Where we go is important also. Going anywhere that is not pleasing to God can cause us to fall into temptation to sin.

Be careful what we do and where we go is good advice from the children’s song, but it is even more important as adults.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

Alabama SOS Events Leaders and Volunteers

January 18, 2023

Sometimes SOS Events does not have opportunity to have a booth at all events. This was the case in Alabama recently.

Carl Norton and Dale Brown decided to go into the Shakespeare Festival and walk around talking to people. The 3 Things God Can Not Do is an effective way to witness one on one.

They had 3 people accept Jesus. One was a little girl that was there with her mother.

Waiting to go to an specific event to tell others about Jesus may not always be possible, but God will bless if we use every opportunity to make our own “event”.

Jesus was the example when He talked to the woman at the well. The account is in John chapter 4.

Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. John 4:6-7

Be Careful What We Hear

January 17, 2023

Oh be careful little ears what your hear
Oh be careful little ears what you hear
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little ears what you hear

Another lesson from a children’s song. What are we listening to? We need to be careful to listen to things that are pleasing to God.

Music is especially important. It can honor God or can be very worldly and lead us into temptation.

What about our conversation? Do we listen to a off-color joke by one of our coworkers or do we try to steer the conversation to please God?

Radio, TV, or social media once again can be uplifting or cause us to sin by what we hear. Today let’s make the decision to only listen to things that are pure.

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Good Advice From A Children’s Song!

January 16, 2023

Oh be careful little eyes what you see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little eyes what you see

This little children’s song we sang in Sunday School many years ago. For the next few days we will look at the Bible verses that teach no only children but adults what we should do to be obedient to God’s Word.

What we watch or read are images that are hard to forget. Today the temptation to watch sinful things are everywhere. TV, social media on our phones or computers.

If that is a problem let us determine in our hearts to only watch what is pleasing to God.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: Psalm 101:3

God’s Love For You

January 15, 2023

Psalms 70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

People From Countries Around The World!

January 14, 2023

Welcome! It is a wonderful blessing to have you join our daily blog on the SOS Events website.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:19 & 20

People from over 100 countries have been reading God’s Word on the blog in the last few days.

Praying that each one has gotten a blessing and that they will go further and do the Bible Studies offered on line.

More importantly that people may go to the home page and have opportunity to be saved with the 3 Things God Can Not Do.

Christians please pray for even more people to be drawn to the website and accept Jesus as their Savior. Then continue to grow in their faith.

Do You Need Something?

January 13, 2023

If you have a need or even a want the first place you should go to get it is prayer. The Bible promises if we seek the Lord first in our lives all things will be added on to us.

Sometimes, God does not give us what we want because he knows best. He knows what we need.

God never fails to take care of His children and he will meet all our needs.

WHY?

January 12, 2023
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Sometimes we make plans that seem very important to us at the time. Then something comes up, and those plans change. Maybe there’s an accident, a friend needs our help, or we cannot do it because we get sick. We are extremely disappointed and wonder, WHY?

God has allowed our plans to change. Remember, God loves us and He knows why. He may reveal the answer, but often He does not. That is when we need to trust Him all the more. He can turn our plans into His plan. The whole direction of our life can turn around in the change of just one of our plans. Are we trusting Him with our disappointments?

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
