Your Words!

November 30, 2024

How you speak and what you speak is important! Are your words acceptable in God’s sight?

We need to be careful how we speak. It is easy to say the right things when everything is going well and we are surrounded by other Christians. But what about in the times of stress, anger, hurt feelings or another situation that is not pleasant.

Do we speak with anger or sharpness. Maybe we take out our frustration on spouse or children. That is not the way God wants us to react.

How can we overcome the sin of speaking out words that we know we shouldn’t say. This verse gives us the answer. The meditation of our heart.

Read God’s Word daily. Meditate on what He is telling us. Pray and ask God to guard our lips.

What we say and how we say it is important. Thankfully God is quick to forgive. Ask His forgiveness. Also, apologize to the person you may have hurt with your unkind words.

Black Friday or Good Friday?

November 29, 2024

Today is called Black Friday. It is a day when people traditionally run to the stores to get bargains Christmas gifts.

In contrast there is a day that is called Good Friday. That is the day people say that Jesus died on the cross.

The disciples thought that that day was Black and they lost all hope. They did not understand that Jesus would rise again.

Today as you may be going shopping for gifts, please take a few minutes to remember that Jesus is the true gift, given to everyone by God the Father. All we have to do is accept His Gift.

Let us turn Black Friday into Good Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 28, 2024

May your day be filled with joy and Thanksgiving to the Lord.

What Are You Most Thankful For?

November 27, 2024
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15

That is a great question. If you are a Christian, your answer should be the Lord Jesus. He paid for all our sins by His death on the cross.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. As we gather with family and friends let us not make it just another day to have fun and fellowship. Let us truly be thankful for Jesus and make Him the priority in our life.

Thankful For Friends!

November 26, 2024

If you have a true friend you are blessed. If you have several good friends you are extremely blessed.

God gives us friends in our lives to come along by our side to uplift us in times of trouble or sorrow. They rejoice with us when we have joy. They are loyal.

Thank God for the friends in your life. Also, be a good friend to them. Maybe today, give your friend(s) a call. Write them a little note. Most importantly pray for them.

Be Thankful In Everything

November 25, 2024

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

It was hard to thank God for the damage to the SOS Events office when hurricane Milton did so much damage to the property.

It was a great blessing that the house was spared but it seemed like nothing good could come from this.

But God. Yes, through all of it God showed the generosity of people. Many came to help clean up and get rid of debris. People have given extra time and support to SOS Events, people that we did not even know.

The verse says, IN everything give thanks. Even during the most stressful time, give thanks. God has a plan for you and He wants to show you what He can do through that difficult situation.

Thankful For My Pastor

November 24, 2024

Pastor Mike Grover and his wife Cheryl are a great blessing to their family, friends and community.

He is a man of prayer and compassion for others. He preaches the Word of God and has a desire to see people saved and then to grow in their walk with the Lord.

If you have a Godly Pastor, thank the Lord for him today. Pray for him and his family. Pastors have a life that is filled with blessings, but they also have trials like everyone else.

They are responsible not only for their own family, but also for their congregation.

Today prayers go up for Pastor, Mike, and the many other Pastors that are on my prayer list. Will you join me as we pray for them? Pray for blessings, wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit as they preach the Word.

Pray for the people that listen will have hearts that are ready to hear. That unsaved will come to Jesus for salvation and Christians will be convicted of sin and live a life pleasing to God.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2

Thankful For Children!

November 23, 2024

Today, if God has blessed you with children, stop and thank Him for each one He has given you.

Pray for your children. If they are babies or very young, pray they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and they will follow Him all the lives.

If your children are now adults, they need your prayers. Trials of life come on everyone and they need to know you are praying for them.

You may have a child who has gone astray. Never stop praying for him or her. God answers prayer and loves that child even more than you do.

If you have lost child who has died. Thank God for the time you had with him or her. Ask God to comfort you in your loss.

Maybe you have never had children and there is a void in your life. Look around. There are children that are starving for love and attention. It may be a neighbor or someone in your church. Volunteer to teach a children’s class.

Thank you, Lord, for the children in my life. Please bless each one today with whatever need they have. In Jesus precious name.

Thankful For This Little Chorus!

November 22, 2024

This little chorus is a great way to teach your children to be thankful. It also opens the door to a conversation about their salvation.

As a family singing, especially on car trips, brought joy and harmony into whatever we were doing.

There are many little songs that honor the Lord. Sing with your children and teach them to be thankful.

Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. Psalm 147:1

Thankful For God’s Provision!

November 21, 2024

Today, let us be thankful for God’s provision. Food, clothing, shelter, and all our material blessings.

God provides. If you are in need of something, pray and trust God to bring you what you need.

He does supply all our needs, not necessarily our wants.

He is a great and loving Father and He loves to give to His children.

Thank you, Heavenly Father for supplying all that I need.
