God’s Creation!

January 21, 2025

To see God’s Glory, all we need to do is look up. The beauty of the moon and stars at night.

A sunrise or sunset. Even in the midst of winter and the snow is falling or a terrible rainstorm, God’s beauty still shines through.

Today, look up and see God’s Glory. Then thank Him for the day that He has made and rejoice in it.

What Are You Doing Today?

January 18, 2025

Saturday is a day that many of you have special plans. You may be going on a short weekend trip.

Saturday is a day of shopping or getting together with friends.

To some of us it is the day we clean the house and get prepared for the week ahead.

Whatever you do today there is one thing that all of us should do. Remember that Jesus loves us and goes with us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Have a wonderful Saturday and use this day to bring honor and glory to God wherever you go.

Time With God

January 16, 2025

Do you take time with God everyday? The best time is first thing in the morning to start your day with Him.

It may be difficult for you to do. Busy getting ready for work, school or children needing attention.

Try getting up earlier before anyone else is awake. If that doesn’t work for you, set aside a different time for fellowship with God. Maybe on your lunch break, or when the kids are napping.

Not convenient? After dinner in the evening is good.

Whatever time you find is best for you, the important thing is that you take time everyday. Jesus desires time with you and you need Him.

Make it a habit. Do not let anything distract you from your time of prayer and worship. You will be blessed.

Are You Tired?

January 15, 2025

Wednesday, the middle of the week. Do you get tired of your job? The same routine. Maybe you are a young parent. Children are restless and you are tired of the responsibility and trying to keep them contented and happy.

Even Pastors, Teachers and people in ministry get tired and discouraged. Sometimes it feels like all this work is in vain.

The Bible has a verse for you. Do NOT be weary in well doing. You will reap if you don’t quit.

That job. You are a diligent worker. Your boss is watching and you get a promotion or a raise.

The children, they grow up to be successful and thankful for parents who encouraged them.

Christian worker, you will reap. People get saved, broken relationships are mended, prayers are answered. Best of all Jesus will say, “Well done.”

Today, do what you are doing with anticipation and dedication. You will reap if you faint not.

Time For Church!

January 12, 2025
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

Now that all the festivities of Christmas and New Years are over it is time to get back to a regular routine.

The best way to start that routine every week is to be in church.

Many people for whatever reason have stopped going to church. They may watch it online or TV but to actually go seems to hard or to difficult.

Why is it important to go? God tells us to go in His Word. We need the spiritual strength of one another. In time of trouble we have no one to turn to if we do not have a Pastor that cares about us.

Today, decide to make church a priority.

What A Day To Rejoice!

January 11, 2025

In one of the worst times in my life, this verse and song got me through that difficult time.

I made a decision to find something to rejoice about, even if it was as small as being able to get out of bed and brush my hair or seeing a butterfly land on a flower.

God gave me things to be thankful for and He brought joy back into my life, one day at a time.

Today, as I look out my window and watch the sun rise, I rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Join me in rejoicing

God Will Take Care Of You!

January 10, 2025
1 Peter 5:7

Be not dismayed whate’er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

He will take care of you
God will take care of you

This is an old hymn that’s words are true. God does take care of his children and he will take care of you if you have accepted Jesus as your savior. 

God’s Encouragement For His Workers

January 9, 2025

This is a wonderful Bible verse for all who are in the work of the LORD!

Sometimes you may get tired. Things don’t seem to make a difference. God tells us in His Word, do not be weary, keep going. What you do for the LORD is not useless.

God has given us a job to do. It may be what seems to be small or He may have given you a tremendous responsibility. Whatever it is it is important. Whatever you do, do it to honor God.

God Has Done Great Things For You!

January 7, 2025

Think about all the wonderful things God has done for you.

When things are not going like we want, we tend to complain and get discouraged. That is the time to stop and remember how good God has been to you in the past. He promises to be with you and bring you through the rough times.

Keep serving the LORD and trust Him with the good things He is going to do for you.

The first Monday of the year. Now the Holidays are really over and reality sets in.

Perhaps you will be going work or school. Moms are getting children ready to get out the door. Spouses are leaving for their busy day.

Maybe a a retired person you are not looking forward to another week of loneliness and boredom.
