Whatever you are facing today, Jesus can give you strength to go through a difficult time.
Cast all your cares on Him. The key word is ALL. You can do anything that needs to be done if you are trusting the LORD and His strength to help you through it.
Have you ever had a flashlight that shines brightly because it has new batteries?
Then after a while it gets dimmer because the batteries are running out of power. Soon, no light shines at all. The batteries are totally out of power.
Is your Christian life like that? When you first got saved you told everyone about Jesus and your new life. Then things started to distract you and your light got dimmer.
After a while you no longer tell people about Jesus. You fear rejection or you are to busy. You have lost your power and your light is no longer shining brightly.
Confess your sin and ask forgiveness. Jesus wants to give you power of the Holy Spirit to shine for Him.
SOS Events had the privilege of setting up a booth at the Jeep Show at Turkey Creek Baptist Church in Plant City, FL on Saturday.
God blessed the volunteers as they presented the “3 Things God Can Not Do”. People stopped by to listen and 2 attendees received Jesus as their Savior.
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
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.
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.
God has created many animals and sea creatures that we may never see in person. One of the unusual creatures is the mimic octopus. This octopus can change shape and color to appear to be an entirely different species.
“Mimic octopuses have been observed mimicking numerous different species of animals, some animals being mimicked more often than others. Among the animals mimicked are lionfish (the octopus holds its arms out radially to mimic the fish’s spines), sea snake (hiding 6 of its arms, it holds the remaining 2 parallel to each other),[9]jellyfish(by inflating its mantle and trailing its arms behind it), and zebra sole (holding all 8 arms behind it as it uses its siphon to swim). The octopus’ mimicry of flatfish may be its preferred guise; a 2008 study showed that over a period of 5 days, nearly 500 instances of flatfish mimicry were seen by a single individual.”
It reminds me of some people who mimic being a Christian. They go to church regularly, act spiritual, they may sing in church and even become church leaders. But, they have never truly accepted Jesus as their Savior.
If you are a mimic Christian, you can make a permanent change. Ask Jesus to be your Savior today.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
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.
Do you know for sure you will live forever with Jesus?
If not, right now invite Jesus to be your Savior.
How? Admit to Him you are a sinner.
Believe He died on the cross for you. He was buried and He rose from the dead. He paid the penalty for your sin on the cross.
Then, pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sin, come into your heart and be your Savior.
Start reading the Bible, it’s best to start in the New Testament.
Find a good church and start the New Year by attending faithfully.
Sound simple. It is. Jesus is waiting for you.
Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2024
It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2025 and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.
Witnessing is a responsibility for every Christian. Tell someone about our wonderful Savior. In person is best. But, we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative.
Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
A New Year! Some people have resolutions. They are going to loose weight, budget their money, meet a goal that has been put off for a long time. Usually, our resolutions last a week, a month but soon they are forgotten and we fall back into our old ways.
There is someone who can help you with your new goals. his name is Jesus. Jesus wants a relationship with you. He will help you. Jesus cares about you, and loves you unconditionally.
So, today, January 1, 2025 let’s make a resolution that we can keep. Everyday will be a new day. Start each day with Jesus.
Some of us have a lot of time in the morning to read the Bible and pray. Many of us have busy chaotic mornings getting ready for work, children off to school, babies who demand attention.
It only takes a minute to breathe a quick prayer. As you get dressed for work, pray for your coworkers. Packing lunches, pray for your spouse and children.
Put a post note on your bathroom mirror with a favorite Bible verse. It isn’t the quantity of time, it is the quality. Jesus wants to walk with you and talk with you throughout your day.
Start your New Year with Jesus. That is one resolution that you cannot fail. Jesus never fails.
Isaiah 43:18&19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
