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
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
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
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
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Looking forward to something special. The dictionary definition: the act of looking forward especially: pleasurable expectation
Are you looking forward to an event in your life that causes you to have great anticipation? Maybe it’s an upcoming birthday, a wedding, a new home or a dream vacation.
Sometimes we look forward to something and it is even better than what we expected. Other times, things are a disappointment.
There is one event that every Christian should be looking forward to with great anticipation. That is the day when the Lord, Jesus comes in the clouds and we will meet Him in the air.
It wasn’t until about the nineteenth century that we find Christianity absorbing the bright, cheery symbolism of the Christmas tree. The Christians had long held the fir as a symbol of the Tree of Life.
Early Christians knew their symbolism well, as they added candles and apples to their Christmas firs. These candles represented the light of Christ. The apples symbolized knowledge which spawned man’s original sin according to Christian belief.
Here we see the light of Christ forgiving the “fall of man” within the symbol of the Christmas tree.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Many of us are blessed to have brothers or sisters. It is a special bond that can only be understood by those who have a brother or sister.
Maybe you do not have a sibling but have always desired to have that relationship.
You can fill your life with friends that are sometimes closer than physical siblings.
As Christians we are born into God’s family and that makes us brothers and sisters in Christ. That is also a special bond that we share with one another.
Today, pray and thank the Lord for your siblings and for your spiritual brothers and sisters.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 KJV
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Psalm 33:12
What a blessing for those of us who live in the USA to have the freedom and privilege to vote for our leaders.
As Christians we have a responsibility to vote. We need vote for the candidates who honor God’s principles. Before going to vote, check out where the candidate stands on issues like abortion, citizenship and other important policies. Get out and vote.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Psalm 33:12
What a wonderful opportunity at the SBC Annual Meeting that was held in Polk City, Florida. Pastors and Christian Leaders stopped at the display to learn about SOS Events Ministry.
Most of us would think that everyone there are born again Christians. However, a boy and a girl, young teens, came over to see the “3 Things God Can Not Do” display.
Stephanie discovered they were not saved and was able to led them to the Lord. What excitement! The youth Leaders from the church were so happy to hear about the salvation of these teens.
At this event, God opened the door with several opportunities for SOS Events to go to several churches in the area and train teams to win people to the Lord.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
