Praise

Praise in the storm

2020-12-01T04:02:33+00:00

John was going about his day at work.  He had just restocked the shelves, double checked the inventory to make sure all was correct, and was getting ready to go on break.  Then the phone in the office rings, he hears, "call for John on line two" come over the intercom.  He goes to the office, picks up the phone.  The voice on the other end was his wife's, she was crying loudly, and when he got her calmed down enough to speak, she told him that their four month old son had just passed away.  They had been trying for [...]

"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8 NIV.  I want to give a praise report tonight.  In the past two days I've had some amazing things go on for me.  Yesterday, I got to shoot a bow for the first time in three months.  Granted, the bow was a light draw weight, but, it was still great to be able to shoot again for the first time in what felt like ages.  I am thankful for how far God has brought my healing thus far.  [...]

Think to Thank

2020-11-25T03:23:38+00:00

Thanksgiving is in just a few days, a lot of people will be reflecting on what they are thankful for.  So let me ask you a question, and I have to ask myself this, did you thank God for something today?  Did you take time to thank God, for just one thing?  It could be for an answered prayer, for getting to see a friend, or for something that just made you smile.  God deserves all the praise we can give him, and we need to take time out of our day, even just a few minutes to thank God for [...]

As the deer pants

2020-11-22T02:06:23+00:00

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." Psalm 42:1.   Do you desire God's Word as much as you do rest after a hard day?  God uses His Word to feed our souls, to give our souls comfort, to give us peace and correction when necessary.  God's Word is our compass, it is the light for our path.  We need to be in His Word every single day.  We should desire His Word more than anything else.  We should be in it as much as possible, the more we read it, the more [...]

Alarm Clocks

2020-11-14T02:20:42+00:00

We have to use alarm clocks to get up on time.  We have to use timers in the kitchen to avoid having the smoke alarms tell us that dinner is ready.  People need wall clocks, clocks on microwaves, clocks on their phones, and wrist watches to keep up with the time and make sure that we are always on time.  We even have clocks in our cars that seem to make us think we will be late if the light doesn't hurry up and change so we can go.  Our lives seem to revolve around time, making time for this and [...]

Laughter

2020-11-12T04:27:24+00:00

One thing that God uses to encourage His children is laughter.  Humor doesn't have to be dirty to be funny.  There doesn't have to be cursing or anything of sexual nature for there to be humor.  Carl Hurley is a Christian Comedian, and he talked about looking for the humor in church bulletins.  Believe it or not, there can be humor because of the way things are written in a church bulletin.  I remember he read something from a church bulletin that said, "Let us pray for those who are sick of our church and community" which should have been written [...]

Take a Breath

2020-11-10T04:11:18+00:00

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."  Psalm 27:14.  In the today's American society we often times want everything on our timing.  When we are expecting an email, we want it to come through instantly.  We want our phone to ring when we expect it to, not after.  There is a local fast food chain whose slogan is, "Great Food in a Flash".  We want everything to go our way, and we often try to rush things.  I am guilty of this myself.  Sometimes I go past the planning stage/preparing stage and go into [...]

Christmas celebrations

2020-11-08T03:26:05+00:00

Dad and I were coming back from hunting this evening, and there was a house about five minutes from ours that already had a Christmas tree up.  Some may say that it is too early to celebrate Christmas, but for the Christian, Christmas is more than a once a year celebration.  We can wake up everyday and praise God that Christ came.  God gave us the greatest gift that mankind could receive when He gave His Son for us.  This wasn't just a one time gift either, this gift keeps giving.  In Christ we have forgiveness, eternal life, and we are [...]

Election Day

2020-11-04T02:16:10+00:00

"He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others.  He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning."  Daniel 2:21.  Today we have seen another election day, and although we will not know the results as soon as we normally would due to some extended voting, we can still be confident in this, whichever candidate is elected, God has allowed for that person to be elected.  God raises up kings, and He removes kings.  We will see who it is that God will allow to be in office.  Tonight, I'm not going to talk about who [...]

Green Pastures and Rocky Roads

2020-10-28T02:02:58+00:00

"He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters."  Psalm 23:2 NIV.  God will give us what we need, when we are stressed He will give us peace.  His strength is made perfect in our weakness.  He gives us grace that is sufficient for us to endure whatever may come our way.  When God leads us to those green pastures, He never promised that the path would be easy.  He promised that He would lead us and always be with us.  When he leads us beside those quiet waters, the banks may be rocky and steep [...]
