Today, look around you at God’s handiwork. Find something in His creation that you can Praise the Lord for, even if you feel depressed or sad. There was a time when I did not feel like getting out of bed because of the death of a son, but I would find one or more things that God created that I could thank Him for and everyday it got a little bit better, until finally I could Praise Him for everything. We have an awesome God that loves and cares for us.
The Bible says that Jesus was 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb before His resurrection. Biblical Scholars have different opinions of when He died. Some think Wednesday and others say Friday because time was calculated differently than our calendar today. Whenever you believe Jesus died, is not as important as you knowing and believing that Jesus died, was buried and rose again so that you might be saved. As Christians we can have different opinions about the times but we must agree to disagree “agreeably” and love one another.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Did you remember to set your clocks ahead? Those of us who live in certain States in the USA have a time change twice a year and a lot of us do not like the change. Our internal time clocks have readjust to the one hour difference. If you are one who loves “Daylight Saving Time” or you would rather stay on “Standard Time” there is one thing we as Christians should remember. God’s timing is always perfect. Maybe He is amused at our attempt to make time change. There is still 24 hours in everyday no matter what the clock tells us. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
SOS Events has some simple rules that are to be followed when witnessing at an event. Years of experience, common sense, prayer and God’s Word were important in the planning and setting guidelines for the team members to follow when working at an event. Rules are made for the protection of the workers, the ministry and most importantly the people we are witnessing to. Sometimes there will be someone who think they can bend the rules or just ignore them. This can cause problems. For instance, the Rule: We must get parents permission to talk to children. If we do not follow that rule it can cause a parent (rightfully) to be upset and we loose opportunity to witness to that family. We as Christians have rules or ordinances to follow set up in God’s Word for our protection and fellowship with Him. Rules called ordinances are a good thing for us to follow.
I Peter 2:13 & 14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
Do you ever get tired of watching the news on TV or social media? There never seems to be any good news, only news of wars, violence and scandals. As Christians it’s our responsibility to get out the good news to everyone that we can. The good news is the gospel, that Jesus Came into the world, died on the cross and rose again. His blood cleanses us from all our sin if we accept Him as our Savior. We can tell people that we meet, we can hand out tracts, we could invite them to a Bible study in our home or invite them to church. The important thing is that we do something to get out that good news.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
The Bible says not to build upon sand. In the part of Florida where the SOS Events Office is located most of the soil is sand, causing us a problem, The office is made up of two job trailers that are connected together by a wooden platform. The back trailer contains Carolyn’s office and a work room for the machines that print the vinyl for the sign displays. Because there is a slight hill and recent rains have caused some erosion, that trailer is tipping. It is going to have to be leveled by a professional company as soon as possible. Please pray today that they can get here quickly and inexpensively. Until we can get it fixed it’s unsafe to be in that trailer. We need that trailer secured so we can finish projects for many upcoming events. Also, there has been some interior damage as the walls are buckling and so repairs will have to be made, which will also take time and money. We are thankful our spiritual house is built upon the Rock, Jesus. Thank you for your prayers.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Without communication there is no relationship. We speak to God through prayer and He speaks to us through his Word, the Bible. What would happen to our marriages or our relationship with our children if we never spoke to them and they never spoke to us. Our marriage would be over and our children would go astray. We need to read our Bible daily so we don’t stray away from God.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
No matter what the circumstance, weather or trial in your life, God tells us to rejoice and be glad. Not always easy to do but God will bless if we rejoice out of obedience even if we don’t feel it at the moment. The key is “we will”.
