What a Friend We Have in Jesus

August 11, 2015

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful 

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you

You will find a solace there.
Blessèd Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright unclouded
There will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
This hymn was written by Joseph M. Scriven for his mother who was far away from him in Ireland. Written in 1855 this hymn still brings comfort and peace to many.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Nancy

July 24, 2015

Nancy is one of SOS Events faithful Senior Servants. She is a diligent worker, dedicated Christian, children’s Sunday school teacher and works tirelessly when she comes once a month to help SOS. She is an encourager. She not only comes herself but picks up others so they may come and help also. When there is a lot of work to do she is always willing to stay longer than expected until the job is done.Nancy is also a great witness. She loves to use the ” three things God cannot do” to witness to others.

When Nancy meets the Savior, He will say, well done thou good and faithful servant.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Are You a Faithful Servant?

June 13, 2015

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

These words were spoken by JESUS to His disciples and are meaningful to us today. At SOS Events ministry there are many volunteers to do events. Most are faithful and if they commit to do an event they are there on time and do a great job. 

There are a few, unfortunately, who do not take their commitment seriously thus putting a burden on the other workers. Witnessing and winning souls to Christ is a serious responsibility. 

When God directs you to something for Him are you a faithful servant, or do you find an excuse like some of JESUS followers in Matthew 8:21?

Faithfulness is important to JESUS. When you stand before Him will He say, “Well,done thou good and faithful servant.”?

The 10 Commandments

May 17, 2015

JESUS gave us the answer to how to live by the 10 Commandments.

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

HOPE

May 16, 2015

“If we are to have hope amidst all the menaces and threats of today’s world, it has to be a sturdy and well founded hope…..

It is essential that we recapture and hold fast the New Testament idea that God is the “God of hope”. He is either a present help or He is not much help at all.”  J.B. Phillips

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

JOY

May 13, 2015

Do you have joy in your life? There is a recipe that does not fail.

JESUS first. OTHERS second. YOU last. JOY……

Sometimes we are tempted to complain and feel sorry for ourselves. The past 5 days have been spent in the hospital as Tom waits to be healed of an infection in his leg. What a great opportunity to practice the recipe for joy. He has had 4 roommates in these 5 days. Every one has been witnessed to and prayed for. 

All the nurses have been given tracts. One of them, Roxanne prayed to recieve JESUS as her Savior. Another sweet nurse, Gladys, is so excited to take information to her pastor. All eight doctors have heard Tom’s amazing testimony and have been given a tract.

Instead of long sad countenance each person who comes into the room is greeted with a smile from both Tom and Carolyn. Spreading joy brings joy.

Acts 20:24  But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Faith

April 27, 2015

“Faith is like radar which sees through the fog, the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.” Corrie ten Boom

Corrie must have had many days when her faith would be tested and she could not see what was ahead. In World War II her family protected hundreds of Jews from death by hiding them in a hidden room in her bedroom. Eventually the hiding place was detected and Corrie was sent to a German concentration camp. But she never lost her faith in God.

After the war she returned to her home and helped concentration camp survivors get rehabilited into a regular life. She wrote many books and became a sought after speaker especially in Christian gatherings. She moved to the United States and died on her 91st birthday in California.

If you feel like you are living in a fog, not able to see what God has planned for you, be encouraged, God has a plan and propose for your life and whatever your circumstances God will bring you through. He sees and will guide you with His eye.

Psalms 32:7-8 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
