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.
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.
Whatever your life is like this Monday, there is one thing that will get you through any situation. That is found in the Bible verse. Seek the LORD for His strength. Jesus is with you and will help you through every day in 2025 if you will look to Him for guidance.
Pastors are under attack today in every denomination. They are attacked from within their own church by disgruntled attendees and from without by those who don’t even attend or aren’t members of the church.
Some things you may not know about Pastors. Every Pastor has some of these problems.
Pray for your Pastor and do something to show your appreciation for him. Write a note, email or text him if you are fortunate enough to have his personal number.
On this last Sunday of 2024, I pray that you truly have had a blessed year.
Looking forward to the new year ahead may you seek to follow the LORD Jesus in everything you do. May He continue to bless you with good health, happiness and prosperity.
If you think about it, it’s a bit strange for someone to put goodies in an old sock. But like many Christmas traditions, the tradition of Christmas stockings comes from an old legend.
A long time ago (so the story goes), a poor man had three daughters and couldn’t afford to give them a dowry (money or goods given to the groom’s family by the bride’s family). In those days, it was very hard for a woman to get married without a dowry. A Christian bishop named Nicholas heard about the problem and wanted to help, but the man refused to accept money. One night, Nicholas threw three balls made of pure gold in through the open window of the man’s house. Each one landed in a stocking hung by the fire to dry. The next morning, each daughter found a gold ball in her stocking. With this bounty, they were all able to get married.
Stockings can remind us of the importance of service. The greatest example of service is Jesus Christ. He always “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38).
Take some time to think about the Savior’s selfless acts of service. How can you give Christlike service and show kindness to others this Christmas Season?
Th best act of service of is to give the Gospel to someone who does not know Jesus.
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15
What a wonderful verse to start with for the month of December! God does supply all our needs.
Some people have abundance of money and material things. Others have very little. The Christmas season is a time for giving. It is not the cost of the gifts, it is the gift given from the heart that counts.
A phone call, letter or an invitation for a meal can mean more than the most expensive present in the world. Your time with your friends and family is the most meaningful gift you can give.
God wants the same thing. You can give a large offering, go to church or do some charity work, but the most important thing you can give to God is time to read His word, pray and then tell someone else about His special gift, the Lord Jesus
December is the month we celebrate the birth of Jesus. We can get overwhelmed by shopping, parties, decorations and various activities that only happen this time of year.
All of it is good and exciting, as long as we remember the reason for the season is Jesus. Put Him first on your daily to do list. Everything else will then fall into place and we will have true peace and joy that only He can give.
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.
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.
