Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
And I said, Who are You, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, Whom you are attacking.
Paul (then Saul) was doing everything he could to hurt and kill believers in Christ and yet Jesus said that he was attacking HIM. When you hurt a fellow believer you are in essence attacking Jesus! Don’t do it!
My eyes are always on the LORD. He removes my feet from traps.
– Psalm 25:15 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Do you feel like you’re in a place that you can’t escape from? Focus your eyes on Jesus! He can bring you out!
“You are light for the world. A city cannot be hidden when it is located on a hill.”
Notice that Jesus isn’t emphasizing that “He” is the light of the world (which He also is) but He is saying YOU are the light. His light should be beaming out of you. We aren’t to try to hide our faith. It should be plainly seen by all those around us.
At that time you will say, “Praise the LORD. Call on His name. Make His deeds known among the nations. Make them remember that His name is highly honored.
You want to attract people to God? Tell them of His mighty miracles not only in your own life but also of the amazing things He has done in times past!
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
– 2 Timothy 1:7 (American King James Version)
If you constantly feel fear attacking your mind, know that it comes not from God but from our enemy. Give all your worries to Jesus and He will give you peace that no psychiatrist nor drug can give!
Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I am God, and there is none else.
– Isaiah 45:22 (Young’s Literal Translation)
God is calling the nations. However, He needs us to be His hands and feet to bring His voice to the earth. We can do 2 things: either go yourself OR make it possible for someone else to do so.
Because this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide.
– Psalm 48:14 (Bible in Basic English)
God is always there to lead you in the way you should go…if you will listen.

And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
– Jeremiah 24:7 (Webster’s Bible Translation)
God doesn’t want us to know Him from afar off. He wants You to seek Him with all that’s within you. Don’t bother seeking things of this world that are temporary when the Eternal God waiting to talk to you.
Before they call, I will answer. While they’re still speaking, I will hear.
– Isaiah 65:24 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Before you can even think about making a request to God, He already has a plan in the works!
Let us look closely at our ways and examine them and then return to the LORD. Let us raise our hearts and hands to God in heaven.
– Lamentations 3:40-41 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Take time every day to look at your life and see how you could have done better. Don’t just keep making the same mistakes over and over. Reach out to God and ask Him to make you more like Him.
