The United States of America was founded on the Word of God. The founding fathers gave us freedom OF religion, NOT freedom FROM religion.
Christians, we must pray that our country turns back to God.
Many other nations also need to honor God the Creator. Our whole world is in trouble.
The first step if you are not a Christian is to put your faith in the Lord Jesus. He blesses individuals as well as nations. That is a good place to start.
His name is Jesus.
We have someone to comfort us in times of difficulty and in times of happiness.
God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and be with us always, when we accept Jesus as our Savior.
What wonderful good news. In any situation He is with us. We are never alone.
Today in our world there is a great lack of true wisdom. We see politicians make decisions that effect all of us but they don’t want these decisions to pertain to themselves.
Some police officers believe they are above the law but are quick to make the average citizen obey whatever they say.
Teachers who take advantage of students, etc., we could go on and on, but the main problem is that we have allowed the lawmakers to take God out of our society.
We need wisdom in our homes, our cities, counties and nation.
Today’s post is one that was written four years ago and unfortunately nothing has changed. In fact things are getting worse. The Bible does predict that things will get worse before Jesus returns. Are you ready for His return?
Maybe you are looking for love, success, peace, happiness or contentment and it seems to be out of your reach.
There is a place you can find all of these things and more.
It is not really a place, it’s a person, The Lord Jesus Christ. A relationship with Him will satisfy your needs no matter what the circumstances.
Start looking in the right direction.
Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Lamentations 3:25 – The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
One thing we all have in common, the weather. Wherever you live, north, south, east or west, our days are somewhat controlled by weather.
Some love the cold of winter, you may dislike it, some people love the heat of summer and others hate to be hot.
Whatever, climate we live in, we find something to talk about to others. The weather. We may complain about the cold or heat and only on rare occasions would we say what a beautiful day!
Another thing we all have in common is our need for forgiveness for our sins. It would be wonderful if we would talk freely to others about Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection. He is the answer to our biggest need, no matter what the weather is in the world.
Let us talk about Him as freely as we talk about the weather.
Luke 8:23–25 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
The second day of a new year. Every day is an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus.
It is a good time to start daily communication with God with Bible reading and prayer. Take time for God to speak to you as you meditate on what you have read.
The best time is when you first get up. Your day will go better if it is started with Jesus.
