God’s Promise To His Children

April 24, 2024

Do you ever feel like you are ready to give up? Maybe you have physical or financial problems. Trouble with family, friends or coworkers.

God gives us many promises in His Word. Isiah 40:29 is a great encouragement to anyone who is discouraged.

God’s Word is reliable. We can trust Him to give us strength and power to rise above our circumstances.

Good Advice From God’s Word

April 15, 2024

God’s Word has so many practical things to say about how we should live.

Communication is the key to a good relationship. This verse tells us how to communicate well with others.

Listen! Listen! 80% of the time listen. Without interruption or comment. This is hard for some of us. Be conscious of how much you speak.

Speak only 20% of the time. Weigh your words carefully. Be positive and encouraging.

Slow to get angry. The old saying, “count to 10”. Forgiveness is the key. Try to see what the other person might be going through. Everyone has a bad day now and then.

If someone irritates you remember the 80, 20 advice. Quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.

Pray For Others, Especially Your Pastor

April 7, 2024

Today, Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Especially praying for your Pastor.

Pastors have many things on their minds. Their family, all the trials of each member of their congregation, and problems we know nothing about.

They have so many burdens and they uplift everyone in times of sorrow and joy. Pray for strength, wisdom and Holy Spirit power in their lives. Then give them a word of encouragement.

Also, never bring a problem of yours to them before they are ready to preach. That quenches the Spirit. Wait. Your Pastor wants to be there for you. You need to be there for him.

God is Worthy of Our Praise!

February 6, 2024

This verse shows us several things.

First, the Lord, Jesus, is worthy of our worship. Not only did He give His life for us by dying on the cross, but He loves us and makes intercession for us to the Father when our enemy attacks us.

He created all things. This world is beautiful. Mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, forests, deserts, and all kinds of animals. We could tell of so much beauty created by Him.

What is amazing, is that He has pleasure in the things He created. He gives us the opportunity to enjoy all the things He created also.

Today, look around. Really look around at the beauty God has created. Then praise Him for all of it, small or large.

Joseph in the coat of many colors.

Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel. He was Rachel’s firstborn and Jacob’s eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a coat of many colors. Joseph was seventeen years old, he shared with his brothers dreams of his superiority.

The brothers were jealous and sold him into slavery. They meant it for evil but God meant it for good.

Joseph was sold to the Pharaoh. Was thrown into prison. Interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and was given the blessing of being second in command in the nation of Egypt.

He was able to save his family from certain death due to famine in the land. Thus preserving the Nation of Israel.

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Genesis 50:19&20

God’s Great Creation!

If God gives you the privilege of traveling. Wherever you go you will see the beauty God has created.

Not only the natural beauty, but the wisdom that God gave to man to develop ways to travel. Planes, trains, boats, cars, buses and various ways we can get from one place to another.

Then, there are the wonderful man made structures. Monuments, buildings, churches and all kinds of artifacts.

If you can travel in person or see the wonders on TV, books or magazines, as a believer, it is easy to see God’s wisdom and praise Him for His wonderful creation.

The First Hero of the Faith

January 10, 2024

Abel is the first hero listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11.

Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve and the first martyr in the Bible. He was a righteous person who offered a more acceptable sacrifice to God than his brother Cain and was killed by him out of jealousy.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4
