Have you ever had a bad hair day? No matter what you do, nothing works.
Did you know that God knows how many hairs you have on your head. He cares about you that much!
God’s knew everything about you before you were born. What a wonderful thing to know that God knows you, loves you and cares about everything you do.
He also made a way that everyone can spend eternity with Him. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, be buried and 3 days later He arose. Jesus is the only way we can go to Heaven when we die.
He is the only One who can pay the penalty for sin. If you have not accepted Him as your Savior don’t delay. Invite Him into your life right now.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:7
Once again Florida and neighboring States have gone through a storm. Wind, rain and devastation. People’s lives uprooted until the storm passes by.
Then, after the storm the sun comes out and lives get back to normal.
Our Christian lives are the same. Storms come. Losses. Maybe it’s a loved one, illness, broken relationships. Whatever your storm, it will pass. The blessing is that you have someone who will carry you through that storm. His name is Jesus.
Jesus will never leave or forsake you. That is a promise from God’s Word. So if you are in the middle of a storm in your life, turn to the Savior who will carry you through.
If you live in Florida or one of the States that are in the path of a tropical storm, you will receive warnings of a disaster that is about to come. This may cause fear or anxiety.
But God tells us in this beautiful verse that He loves us and wants us to have peace. So, if you feel stressed today, take comfort from God’s word.
Make preparations to withstand the storm but trust God to bring you through whatever storm you have in your life.
Do yo get tired of all the talking about things that may be doubtful?
Can we trust the newscasters? The printed words that are just gossip. Words that are hurtful from a friend or relative. Foul language from movies or television. There are many ways we get words that we don’t want to read or listen to.
Good News! There is one place we can go where we know the words are pure and truthful. That is in this Bible.
God’s word brings comfort to hurting hearts. The Bible has many exciting stories if you are looking for excitement. Daniel, David, Esther and many more.
The Bible has answers to our life’s problems. In it is truth and tells of a person who can help us in every situation. His name is Jesus.
So pick up that wonderful Book today and find truth.
Matthew 5 is about being distinct in character. How a Christian is to be clearly different from this world, noticeably different in a good way. This particular teaching was coming from the mouth of Jesus Himself.
He not only said how we are to be distinct, but when we are, we are blessed with a true happiness & peace that only God gives.
Plus He tells what we would obtain for being distinct. We are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Christ urges us to be a good example.
I challenge you to read Matthew chapter 5 and be determined to be distinct in this world and watch for your blessings.
Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
I saw this list at church. We are all these things and more when we receive Jesus as our Savior. You are challenged to look up a verse for each of these things God says we are in Him. Here is the first one: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
But you know what, most of the time people don’t sing the songs purely and simply because they don’t know them.
Churches today try to bring in music to attract a younger generation. They bring in the new popular songs that the young people listen to on the radio or other media.
What about the old hymns? Amazing Grace, In The Garden and hundreds of “old” Spirit filled music that even a small child can learn.
If the new music is what is being sung then teach the congregation the words and melody if you want them to sing. And be sure there is a message in the songs being taught.
What a statement. We go to God with the big things in our lives. Illness, family disagreements, loss of job or worse. Death of a loved one. Any huge problem we run to Him.
What about the small things? A parking place, lost keys, color of an item we want to buy, anything that happens in our daily routine. Does God care about that? YES.
If God knows us so well that even the hair on our head is numbered, don’t you think he cares about all the little things? God loves us so much that he cares and listens to the smallest things in our life.
Like a small child trusts Mom or Dad to fix anything. A broken toy, an injured finger, hurt feelings. We listen and do everything to help our child because we care.
We are God’s children and He cares for every area of our life. Even the small things.
