Humor

2020-10-16T02:35:23+00:00

There are certain topics I try to write on about once a month, humor is one of them.  I believe that God wants us to be able to laugh, there are all kinds of good things that we can laugh about without being rude, mean, or just outright dirty.  We can often times laugh at ourselves when we have a little accident.  For example, my Mom and I had been helping my grandmother one day.  After we were through working we gathered up everything so we could put it back where it went.  Well, where I have a broken arm right [...]

The Arrow pt. 6

2020-10-14T00:52:33+00:00

So tonight we are going to talk about the last part of the arrow, the nock.  The nock is a simple plastic (sometimes aluminum) piece that holds the arrow to the string of the bow until the bow is fired and the arrow is released toward the target.  When we look at the palms of our hands, we see lines.  It says in Isaiah 49:16, "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."  God holds onto us, just like the nock holds onto the string of the bow, but every morning when [...]

Look at the good

2020-10-07T03:28:31+00:00

Sometimes when things happen we look at the negatives.  As Christians we cannot afford to do this.  We have to look at the positive side of things, and even when we feel rattled, when we have to look hard to find the good in something, we need to do it.  It can be easy to throw ourselves a pity party, it can be easy to complain, and the more we do that the more chance that gives Satan to tempt us to say or think things that we shouldn't.  We cannot give him that chance, rather we should seek out the [...]

Step back

2020-10-01T01:45:20+00:00

"Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name."  Psalms 130:1.  When we get aggravated or flustered the best thing to do is just to step back, and thank God for His Blessings and to praise Him for His goodness.  There are so many tools that Satan uses to attack us, whether it is the little accidents in the day, events at work, things on the news or social media, and others.  Satan wants nothing less than the downfall of Christianity, and the closer we get to the rapture of the church, the harder he fights.  We [...]

Power in prayer

2020-09-25T01:39:22+00:00

The pastor at the church we go to has mentioned several times throughout the past year that he would love to get to be in service with his Mom once again.  She is getting older and her health isn't what it used to be.  Our pastor lives in Virginia like we do, but his Mom lives in Ohio, and they had to wait for the right time so that she would be able to take that trip.  He had been praying for, only the Lord knows how long, to be able to go to church with His Mom again.  Then, two [...]

Fearing over Hearing

2020-09-11T03:25:02+00:00

"Once again David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him, "Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand."  1 Samuel 23:4.  When David heard of the Philistine attack against Keilah, he asked God if he should go and attack the Philistines.  God told David to go, but the men with David were afraid, and so David asked one more time if he and his men should go down to fight, and God again answered yes.  Sometimes we let fear get in the way of what God has said.  It doesn't even have [...]

Anniversaries

2020-09-07T02:17:35+00:00

There are all kinds of anniversaries, both pleasant and not so much.  There are wedding anniversaries, some people celebrate job anniversaries.  Then there are other anniversaries, some that bring up both pleasant and not so pleasant feelings.  Today marks exactly one month since my dog passed away.  Even though I miss scratching behind his ears and hearing his own unique bark, I know that he is no longer suffering.  I know that he is in the presence of the Lord being rewarded for all that he did for me during his twelve years on earth.  Yet, even though I miss him, [...]

Trust in Him

2020-09-03T01:59:17+00:00

"You who fear him, trust in the LORD-he is their help and shield." Psalm 115:11.  When we are in trouble, we do not have to rely on ourselves.  When we face a trial, we are not alone.  In temptation we have someone Who can help us.  As God's child you do not need to fear.  Trust in the Lord, He is your shield.  He is your Helper, and more than that He is your Guide, your King, and your Father.  He will give you what you need to face the day and to walk the path set before you.  He will [...]

Hope

2020-08-19T02:29:45+00:00

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."  Isaiah 40:31.  One of the key words in this verse to me is the word "renew".  It doesn't say that those who hope in the Lord will never be weak, it doesn't say that they will never be tired, rather it says that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  There will be times where it feels like we are weak, and that's not necessarily a [...]

He guides me

2020-07-27T02:06:41+00:00

"He refreshes my soul.  He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake."  Psalm 23:3.  The Bible is full of references where it talks about God's guidance.  God wants to comfort us and reassure us that He will be with us.  He will guide us in the way that is true and the way that He desires for us to travel.  He Loves us, and His plans are good for us.  He wants us to grow in Him and to grow closer to Him everyday.  He wants us to be able to follow His lead in how we walk [...]
