If you have a need or even a want the first place you should go to get it is prayer. The Bible promises if we seek the Lord first in our lives all things will be added on to us.
Sometimes, God does not give us what we want because he knows best. He knows what we need.
God never fails to take care of His children and he will meet all our needs.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Sometimes we make plans that seem very important to us at the time. Then something comes up, and those plans change. Maybe there’s an accident, a friend needs our help, or we cannot do it because we get sick. We are extremely disappointed and wonder, WHY?
God has allowed our plans to change. Remember, God loves us and He knows why. He may reveal the answer, but often He does not. That is when we need to trust Him all the more. He can turn our plans into His plan. The whole direction of our life can turn around in the change of just one of our plans. Are we trusting Him with our disappointments?
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
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. Proverbs 3:5&6.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Looking forward to something special. The dictionary definition: the act of looking forward especially: pleasurable expectation
Are you looking forward to an event in your life that causes you to have great anticipation? Maybe it’s an upcoming birthday, a wedding, a new home or a dream vacation.
Sometimes we look forward to something and it is even better than what we expected. Other times, things are a disappointment.
There is one event that every Christian should be looking forward to with great anticipation. That is the day when the Lord, Jesus comes in the clouds and we will meet Him in the air.

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. Hebrews 10:25
Now that all the festivities of Christmas and New Years are over it is time to get back to a regular routine.
The best way to start that routine every week is to be in church.
Many people for whatever reason have stopped going to church. They may watch it online or TV but to actually go seems to hard or to difficult.
Why is it important to go? God tells us to go in His Word. We need the spiritual strength of one another. In time of trouble we have no one to turn to if we do not have a Pastor that cares about us.
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Little things. Are you concerned about little things? Maybe it is something you have misplaced and it is really bothering you.
Wondering what to wear or worried about a conversation you are going to have with a loved one or friend. All these daily little things that get in the way of the important things.
Worry is a sin. The Bible tells us to cast our care upon the Lord. Does He care about the little things? Yes. Nothing is too small for Him to help you with, pray about everything.
The Group of ladies that come and work once a month to make sue the “Life Saving News” newsletter gets in the mail, met on the first Thursday in January. They are SOS Events Senior Servants.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23
God is so good! The first Wednesday Flea Market in Plant City, Fl had 14 decisions to follow Jesus as their Savior.
SOS Events Ministry has been going to this Flea Market every week for many years. You may think that people would not respond to the Gospel after the same message is given week after week, often by the same volunteers.
However, God is faithful and blesses His Word every time it is given. Thank you, Lord for a great start to the New Year.
It is also a reminder to not be weary in the Lord’s work. It is a New Year, new beginnings and new opportunities to win new people to the Lord!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
Zack Godwin, SOS Events Leader on the Alabama team went home to be with the Lord on Monday evening.
He was a wonderful husband, father and friend. Zack will be missed by all who knew him. His family will appreciate prayers at this time.
The one thing we can be sure of is that we will see him again. Jesus gave us the assurance of eternal life through his death on the cross. One day we will be reunited with our loved ones who have trusted Jesus as their Savior.
John 11:25 – Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
