Morning Thoughts

Mistakes. We all make them. We have a loving and forgiving Father. It doesn’t excuse our sin or our mistakes but it does show forgiveness and love. We too should show love, mercy and grace as we too could be the one seeking it one day for the slip and fall we’ve taken!

We should rejoice that our salvation is settled, sealed and secured in Christ Jesus. With that said, the Lord will use our lives to show our faith towards Him to a lost and dying world. The trial of our faith is in display - how will we stand?

Community help is a great thing to have. Family and friends coming to the rescue. We should be thankful for all the blessing we have in those who are ready to help. But they are limited; God however, is ready to give all we need and can supply us with our needs according to his riches as we have necessity!

We all desire close and personal relationships. They take work. But no matter how hard we try, our relationships here will eventually cause disappointment. We are imperfect people. But, one day, and even now, we can and will have a perfect relationship with Christ!

The world is full of distractions that pull us away from the important things in life. We are all guilty of not paying attention. Even the disciple lost focus of Jesus being alive! We too need to regain our focus and get back on track with the Lord.

Sometimes the battle seems almost impossible to deal with! It seems that the wall is too tall to climb or the valley is too deep to go through. The nation of Israel faced many obstacles but they faced him with the God of the universe and he went before them time and time again to fight their battles and to do things that they could not accomplish without him! He will do the same for us today through the power of the Holy Ghost in the name of the blood of Jesus if we will just call on his name!

We have been made ambassadors for Christ! Let’s say that again! We represent Christ - the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. As Christians, we should strive to represent Him well and the world should see sometime special when they see us!

Our bodies seem to never find rest or relief from aches and pains. We look for a day when doctors and medicines will be unnecessary but for now, we live on in this world knowing we have a Savior who understands pain and suffering and one who will see us through each day. He could heal us if He so desires but for now, I believe He desires for us to lean on Him for our every need every day.

People today need to see Christ shine forth in our lives. They need to see the real deal; not a form of God or a form of religion. They need to see truth love and true faith living out in our lives.

Prayer. So widely talked about, preaches about, written about, read about and sang about. But are we really serious about prayer. Jesus spoke of asking, seeking and knocking and receiving, finding, and opening; promises of God that we haven’t tapped into. Why not?
