Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Our children are the most precious gift given to us by God. Each one is unique and different.
We desire that our children grow up to be godly, productive adults.
However, they need guidance and direction. Children are born with a sin nature. Many temptations to follow sin are there especially today.
As parents it is our responsibility to train them to become the person God wants them to be.
Teach them to read the Bible daily, pray with them and for them continually. Train them to seek God’s will in every situation, in joy and in sorrow.
Home, church and school are where they spend the most time. Your home must be where they learn the most about God. Church is important as they will not only make it a priority but friendships are developed there. School is where they will spend the most of their time from kindergarten through high school and beyond… it is also the place where they learn to follow God or learn the worldly ways from teachers and fellow students. Christian school or home school is the only way to be sure they learn godly values.
It takes sacrifice on your part to make sure your children are getting the training that they need.
Pray God will help you to be the parent that trains your children in the way God wants them to go.
How do you react when someone or something irritates you. Do you get angry and want to lash out? Do you have a bad attitude?
Inside you allow that irritation to fester. That is not good for your health and it is certainly not pleasing to God.
Instead, think of the good in that person or circumstance. Be grateful that person is in your life. Maybe you are irritated with your spouse or children, a coworker in the workplace. Each of them has many good qualities. Be thankful for the good things.
Make a list of all the things in that person or situation that you can be thankful for and then pray and ask the Lord to bless them. Your attitude can make a great difference.
Let us decide right now to have a good attitude and be grateful in every situation.
Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
We think we are good Christians! We read the Bible, we pray and go to church at least once a week. But, are we deceiving ourselves?
True Christianity is more than that. Are we doing what the Lord commands?
Do we ask forgiveness for any sin immediately? Are we telling others how they can be saved? Are we serving the Lord joyfully?
Be ye doers of The Word not hearers only.
SOS Events volunteers take advantage of every opportunity to witness to people at events.
The Food Distribution in Turkey Creek, Fl is one of the opportunities that God usually blesses with many salvations.
On Saturday, the volunteers were ready, the weather was beautiful and people were at the event.
It is very unusual when everything seems perfect that there are no salvations at an event. However, that is exactly what happened. But God knows why. Many people had already been saved at this event in previous months. There were fewer people at the event than usual.
Praise the Lord for the opportunity. He wants us as Christians to be faithful. He blesses our faithfulness and obedience. Serve the Lord with a pure heart and He will bless our efforts.
1 Samuel 12:24 – Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
May God bless you today. Happy Mother’s Day to all who have the joy of being a Mother.
This day may bring some sadness to those who have not been able to have children. May God bless you and bring a special blessing into your life today.
The Bible verse today is a prayer that God will bless you and may His face shine on you all.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31: 28
What a blessing. Once a month, on the first Thursday, volunteers come to SOS Events to help get out the “Life Saver News”.
Only a very few have come since February 2020, because of the coronavirus, but yesterday many finally returned. It was such a blessing to have these faithful workers with us again. Plus 2 new volunteers came also.
Thank you ladies for your work and fellowship.
1 Corinthians 15:58 – Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
