Jesus is a wonderful Savior! He warns us against things that Satan will use to harm us or cause us to question God.
Satan wants to steal our purpose, vision, joy, and family through doubt and discouragement. One thing Satan cannot steal from a Christian is salvation.
When you trust Christ as your Savior, believe He died on the cross for your sins and repent, you are accepting the gift of Salvation which is your eternal security.
Planning is something most people do to make sure they stay on task.
God has plans for each of us too. In the Scriptures, Jeremiah speaks of thoughts the Lord has for us, plans of peace and prosperity.
But did you realize that Satan has plans for you as well? Satan is after your name and reputation. When you wake up every morning, he has already plotted how to come against you that day.
You have a choice. Whose plan are you going to follow? Call on the Lord for help and guidance in every day.
God promises in His Word that when we don’t know how to pray, we have the Holy Spirit who will pray for us.
What a great blessing. He knows us better than we know ourselves and He prays for us according to God’s will.
There are times when we don’t know what to pray. Illness, tragedy, decisions about our future and many other things. We want to be in God’s will. Rest in the promise that the Spirit is praying for us.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6
The Heroes of the faith did extraordinary things in faith and obedience to God and His leading.
We sometimes forget that they were ordinary people who loved, trusted and had faith in God.
The verse for today tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God, but can you imagine what we can do through faith.
If you are lacking in faith, ask God to show you what He can do. He loves you and will help you in your uncertainty.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel. He was Rachel’s firstborn and Jacob’s eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a coat of many colors. Joseph was seventeen years old, he shared with his brothers dreams of his superiority.
The brothers were jealous and sold him into slavery. They meant it for evil but God meant it for good.
Joseph was sold to the Pharaoh. Was thrown into prison. Interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and was given the blessing of being second in command in the nation of Egypt.
He was able to save his family from certain death due to famine in the land. Thus preserving the Nation of Israel.
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.Genesis 50:19&20
When going on a trip, business or pleasure, we prepare by making sure we pack everything we may need. Proper clothing, toiletries and identification. We are looking forward to the trip with great anticipation.
We are preparing for the greatest trip we will ever take, the journey to Heaven. The preparation should be the most important thing on our minds. The first thing is salvation. No one enters Heaven without it. Then, daily Bible reading and prayer. A pure lifestyle is important, also. Are you ready for this trip?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
