Friends are so important in life. If you have just one friend, you are blessed. If you have more than one friend you are more than blessed.
A true friend loves you no matter what, in good times and bad. That friend prays for you, lets you vent when you are frustrated, and is always there.
Today,, thank the LORD for the friendship you have and pray for your friends.
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Psalm 27:1
The day was beautiful. I was going to a meeting with my daughter, parked my car in her yard where it has been parked many times.
When we came back the car was under a huge tree that had fallen from the neighbors yard. What a shock!
The question is, How do we react when unexpected things happen? Do we get angry, or try to place blame?
I have learned through many trials that GOD is in control and everything will be fine. My heart is full of Praise today as I think of all the things He has done for me.
Keeping in mind that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, the Book of Proverbs is designed to make us contemplate the fear of God and living by His wisdom.
The word “proverb” means “to be like”. Proverbs is a book of comparisons between common, concrete images and life’s most profound truths. Proverbs are simple, moral statements or illustrations that highlight and teach fundamental realities about life.
Take time to read the book of Proverbs in the Bible to gain wisdom in your relationship to God, yourself and to others.
How can we change ourselves? We can be transformed. Everything we do starts in our mind. What we think about is how we act and what we do.
We can change by changing how we think. If we think worldly thoughts we will act worldly.
What do we put in our minds everyday? News, TV, social media, entertainment and other things that cloud our minds with distractions that can led us into sin.
We can stop how we think and be transformed by renewing what we put into our mind.
The best place to start is daily Bible reading and prayer. Then stop whatever we are listening to, reading or watching things that do not bring right thought into our mind. Will it be easy? No. Can it be done? Yes. Ask God to help us in think on good things.
Paul tells us in the book of Philippians that he went through many trials and afflictions, and whatever happened to him good or bad he can trust Jesus to give him strength.
That is true today. If we trust Jesus, He will give us strength to do whatever He wants us to do.
What a blessing the Florida SOS Team are. As the temperature rises it is more difficult to work at events. Sometimes in the spring and summer the temperature reaches in the 90’s but these faithful volunteers still work diligently to see soul saved.
This week there were 3 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior at the Flea Market.
Please pray for the volunteers, for good weather and most importantly for people to come to know the Lord at upcoming events.
The weekly Flea Market and several Car Shows that are scheduled.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
SOS Events has an intern program for students who desire to work in an office. They learn skills that they can use to help them in the workplace later in their life.
Stephanie was one of the girls who worked as an intern in 2020.
She has since graduated from high school, got a degree in nursing administration, and will start her new job soon.
Stephanie had this to say about her time spent with SOS Events, “I learned that I did not have to do anything myself, but that God would guide me. I got confidence that I did not have in the 6 months I was working here.”
Please pray for Stephanie and the other young people that SOS Events has had the privilege of having an impact on over the years.
There have been many teens who have learned to be a witness for the LORD and some have gone on to become Christian workers in church and missions.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
How do you start your day? Get up, grab breakfast in a hurry and rush out the door. You are stressed and feel frazzled.
The better plan for a good day is to start your day with Bible reading and prayer. No time you think. Get up earlier before everyone starts to need you. It is worth the effort.
Quiet time with the LORD is essential. Your day will go much better.
Have you ever had a problem getting on Internet or trying to do something that seems impossible. Don’t give up.
Pray about it. Ask for help from God. Then do all you can do to solve the problem and trust God that he will give you wisdom.
We never know what a day will bring. Sometimes we we have plans and they get changed. Sometimes we have no plans and then something comes up that we did not expect. The key is be flexible.
Always be ready to change your plans if necessary. God has a plan for our lives and he wants to use us. If we are not willing to follow Him immediately, we can miss out on a great blessing.
