Many of us are trying to loose weight. We diet, exercise, and try to stay away from food that will keep us from our goal.
The Bible says we have weight that we need to get rid of and it is called sin. We need to decide to loose the “weight” of sin in our lives. Jesus said He is the bread of life. We must first trust Him to take away our sin.
Then a good exercise is to read the Bible and pray everyday. Then put away anything that will keep sin in our lives. It may be wrong friends, or a bad habit, or going to places where we are tempted to pick up our sin again. Let us loose the weight we need to both physical and spiritual.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life. Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
If God gives you the privilege of traveling. Wherever you go you will see the beauty God has created.
Not only the natural beauty, but the wisdom that God gave to man to develop ways to travel. Planes, trains, boats, cars, buses and various ways we can get from one place to another.
Then, there are the wonderful man made structures. Monuments, buildings, churches and all kinds of artifacts.
If you can travel in person or see the wonders on TV, books or magazines, as a believer, it is easy to see God’s wisdom and praise Him for His wonderful creation.
Do you ever have a problem thanking God for something in your life that is really hard.
Loss of a job, your house is damaged by fire or storm, an accident or illness. The worst thing of all, losing a child or your spouse.
Can you honestly thank God for that? Yes.
Today, just a personal testimony. I have gone through all of the things mentioned in my life. Sometimes it has been hard to thank God for tragedy. It may even take time, but God knows my heart.
For whatever reason He has for the problems in my life, He has had a purpose. Could I see it right away? No. Sometimes I never understand.
This verse tells me to thank Him. even when I don’t feel like thanking Him, I do thank Him. He is using the problem for a reason.
In all of my years He has never left me, He is always faithful, God is always good. So, I thank Him even when I don’t think I can. Because I want to be obedient to His word.
God is good and I want to be in the center of His Will!
