For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
December. The busiest month of the year for most people.
Christmas, Hanukkah, and other important events like birthdays or anniversaries take place this month.
We get so busy that we forget the most important thing. That is time for God. He sent his son, Jesus so that everyone has opportunity to accept him and have eternal life.
So today, the first Sunday of the year, let us decide to put Jesus first by starting everyday with Bible reading and prayer.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15
That is a great question. If you are a Christian, your answer should be the Lord Jesus. He paid for all our sins by His death on the cross.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. As we gather with family and friends let us not make it just another day to have fun and fellowship. Let us truly be thankful for Jesus and make Him the priority in our life.
If you have a true friend you are blessed. If you have several good friends you are extremely blessed.
God gives us friends in our lives to come along by our side to uplift us in times of trouble or sorrow. They rejoice with us when we have joy. They are loyal.
Thank God for the friends in your life. Also, be a good friend to them. Maybe today, give your friend(s) a call. Write them a little note. Most importantly pray for them.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
It was hard to thank God for the damage to the SOS Events office when hurricane Milton did so much damage to the property.
It was a great blessing that the house was spared but it seemed like nothing good could come from this.
But God. Yes, through all of it God showed the generosity of people. Many came to help clean up and get rid of debris. People have given extra time and support to SOS Events, people that we did not even know.
The verse says, IN everything give thanks. Even during the most stressful time, give thanks. God has a plan for you and He wants to show you what He can do through that difficult situation.
Today, if God has blessed you with children, stop and thank Him for each one He has given you.
Pray for your children. If they are babies or very young, pray they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and they will follow Him all the lives.
If your children are now adults, they need your prayers. Trials of life come on everyone and they need to know you are praying for them.
You may have a child who has gone astray. Never stop praying for him or her. God answers prayer and loves that child even more than you do.
If you have lost child who has died. Thank God for the time you had with him or her. Ask God to comfort you in your loss.
Maybe you have never had children and there is a void in your life. Look around. There are children that are starving for love and attention. It may be a neighbor or someone in your church. Volunteer to teach a children’s class.
Thank you, Lord, for the children in my life. Please bless each one today with whatever need they have. In Jesus precious name.
