The tough question to answer.

  
Part of being a Christian is being able to look deep within yourself and with the help of the Holy Spirit, answer the tough questions.  Here is the question that is in my heart today:

What am I willing to do without to better serve the lord?

  • Am I willing to give up money?  Work less so I won’t be a slave to monetary gains.
  • Am I willing to give up friends?  Maybe a few of my friends are a negative influence in my life.
  • Am I willing to give up my favorie extracurricular activity?  Maybe less time at work so I have more time to devote to the Chuch.
  • Am I willing…

The storm that didn’t come.

  
Life is full of unexpected events.  No matter how “prepared” you are, life can (and will) throw you a curve ball.  This was the case for me yesterday.  The southern USA was experiencing strong storms with the possibility of tornadoes.  I was nervous going to bed because the forecast called for severe storms to arrive around 1:00 am.  I said a quick prayer asking the lord to bring peace into my life.  It was then that a feeling came into my spirit. It was just in me to now “relax”.  I was no longer worried and it was just placed in my heart that everything will be alright.  In the end, the storms passed and we slept thru the night.  

Keep God close an you will be embolden to not fear anything on this earth.  Be safe everyone and be comforted that our Lord has risen from the dead.

Earthly work can honor the Lord. 

  
I had this verse ready to go but just had a feeling in me to wait before posting. 

Work is work and work is indeed tough. 24 hours a day just doesn’t seem like it’s enough time. We all get rushed and in return we get cranky. 

I am being led to say that there is someone out there that needs to read this verse. Anything you do, do it for God and his glory. We cannot fathom the greatness and intellectual of our God. Do your work to honor him…who knows what God will use you for. 

Jesus died and rose again so that we may live. 

Amen.

Praying is my direct line while the Bible is his text Message.

With the whole move and all its safe to safe that life has been pretty stressful.  I prayed often and spoke to our Lord on a daily basis.  Even in the times when i felt that our conversations were a one way street, I knew our God was listening.  Its similar to when my kids try to tell me about their problems.  I always nod in agreement often and we reach the point where I am completely silent while my kids of on and on.

As i look back the one thing i didn’t do so much was read the Bible.  There is no denying that earthly challenges can feel like the weight of the world is o your shoulders.  There is something to be said that no matter what we should always take the time to seek and listen to God’s words.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17

May the Lord bless you, keep you, and give you the courage not to be an undercover Christian.
