Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
But let all those that put their trust in You rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love Your name be joyful in You.
– Psalm 5:11 (American King James Version)
Praise Him no matter what the situation. There are others that are going through much worse than you. Pray for them too!
He was despised and rejected by people. He was a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering. He was despised like one from whom people turn their faces, and we didn’t consider him to be worth anything.
– Isaiah 53:3 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
We have a God that knows what it’s like to suffer in the very same things we do. Remember Him on the cross and turn to Him for comfort.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household
Did you know that as a believer you automatically have dual citizenship in 2 countries? You have a passport that gets you into Heaven and His name is Jesus!
Brothers and sisters, we ask you to show your appreciation for those leaders who work among you and instruct you. We ask you to love them and think very highly of them because of the work they are doing. Live in peace with each other.
We must respect those that are in authority over us even if we don’t necessarily agree with them.
First of all, I encourage you to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and prayers of thanks for all people, for rulers, and for everyone who has authority over us. Pray for these people so that we can have a quiet and peaceful life always lived in a godly and reverent way.
Everyone loves to criticize our leaders but do we do what the Bible says and pray for them?
“These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them.”
Mark 16:17-18 ((GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Jesus didn’t give an expiration date to this statement. If you’re a believer then this applies to you…TODAY!
How horrible it will be for the one who quarrels with his Maker. He is pottery among other earthenware pots. Does the clay ask the One who shapes it, “What are You making?” Does your work say to You, “There are no handles”?
Sometimes God allows things to happen to you because it will ultimately shape you into what He sees you finally becoming. Just ask Old Testament Joseph!
Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me.
No matter what you have done or will do, Jesus will never reject you.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
– Psalm 56:3 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
We all experience fear sometimes but look to the One Who cannot fail and put your confidence in Him.
You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure they are and were created.
Sorry evolutionists! God is the creator of everything. And one day it will be evident to all.
