in Florida there have been many storms in the last few days. These pictures (borrowed from my website) show a beautiful rainbow. It reminds us of the storms of life. We may have trials, sorrows and difficulties, however, they pass and we find peace and contentment because God has walked with us through our storms. And at the end when they are over there is joy.
Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Today is the 2nd Anniversary of Tom’s going home to meet his Savior, Jesus. He would be so happy to know that SOS Events Ministry, that he and his wife Carolyn, founded is continuing and growing. Tom was a Godly man who had one goal in mind and that was to see people be saved. Since the ministry began in 2001, over 70,000 souls have trusted Jesus to be their Savior. What a legacy. Tom never stopped telling people about Jesus love for them and was a witness until the last day of his life. What a great example and encouragement to us. To honor his life today please pray for SOS Events, for more souls to be saved, increased dedicated volunteers and supporters both financial and spiritual. The one Bible verse that describes Tom’s life is:
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Mom’s have the most important job in the world. Rearing your children in this sinful world is not easy. May God bless you today and may your children give you the honor you deserve.
Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, a great day for Moms with loving children who honor their Mother with cards, gifts and maybe a phone call or some expression of love. But, look around you, there may be a woman who is hurting on this special day of the year. It could be that she has lost a child and is grieving. She may have a child who has gotten into trouble and is in jail or the child (young or old) who is rebellious and refuses to contact her. Whatever the reason for her sadness she needs someone to show love to her on Mother’s Day. You can be the one who will lighten her load. If you have a neighbor or someone at church who may be hurting, invite her for lunch tomorrow, or get a small gift and surprise her with it. A phone call or card would be the thing that would brighten her day. So think of the woman you can Adopt a Mom. A small thing with a great blessing. Even Jesus when on the cross thought of His mother and provided for her care.
John 19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
God takes the B,
The A,
The D,
And turns them into GOOD.
We don’t know how he does this thing, or even why he should.
It always works, it never fails. For those whose hearts are true;
All things may be against us, but Christ makes all things new.
He takes the S,
The A,
The D,
And turns them into GLAD,
Though it may take a while to see how good can come from bad.
Don’t falter, then, or feet or fail, just search his word and rest;
Though it may differ from our own his plan is always best.

Proverbs 3:5&6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Hebrews 10:25 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.
Carolyn Curtis recently took a trip to Peru with her daughter. When traveling to various parts of the world where everything is new and different is exciting, a little overwhelming and wonderful all at the same time. Peru has many different areas where climate, culture and customs vary, just as in the USA. It makes us realize how Great God is. His creation is beautiful. In Peru there is desert, mountains, jungle and seaports. All beautiful in the diversity of each area. So wherever you are, look around and see the beauty in God’s Creation.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
When we have a bad day how do we handle it? We can react in two ways. Get angry and have a temper tantrum and rage or stay calm and quiet. Situations can be frustrating but as Christians we must not be part of the problem with a bad attitude. If temper and bad disposition are one of our personally traits, let us ask the Lord to help us overcome our bad attitude starting today.
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Psalm 62:6 gives focus to the fact that we can be unshakable when we let God steady our life. When we are out of balance in just one area of life whether emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually then we become wobbly like a four legged table with one short leg. Look to God for help in every aspect of life. We can be unshakable in Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:6- 8 (KJV)
As we examine the activities of our day, we might entertain the thought of change. Being willing to let the Lord change us is an important part of our growth. Romans 12:1-2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” In these verses God tells us three things on how we can partner with Him for internal and external change. 1) Present your life, work, and ministry to Him. 2) Don’t follow the pattern of the world, as you might miss out on the radical changes He wants for you and 3) Renew your mind. This can be done by staying in the Scriptures and praying as you seek God’s wisdom for your life.
