Morning Thoughts

We sang the song, “what a mighty God we serve.“ That statement is very true. When Jesus taught us how to pray, he used the phrase, “Our Father”. How special we must be for Him to desire for us to call the creator of everything Father!

No matter the circumstances, God is the answer. God can be whatever needs to be for the given situation. For the people of Israel he was the lightness in the darkness of the world.

We all must learn the "signs" when taking driver's education and we must pass them not only in written form but in visual form before we can get our license.  We too must also learn and know the signs through scripture of how to reach Heaven!  Genesis to Revelation, God has set up the way markers for us to know and follow.  It's time we learn them and follow.

There’s a great deal of influence in this world when it comes to framing the minds of our children. The home must be a positive influence and must have the things of the Lord in mind when it comes to leading our children through this world. Outfront, prayer must take the lead.

It’s a time when people feel helpless and hopeless and wonder what they can do in a time of difficulty and distress. They wonder in their time of weakness what they can do to help those beside them and around them. When you feel like that they can’t play a part. God desires to see our availability put into action not our ability. He will enable us if we will just say yes.

We are tried every day by the things we encounter in this world. We could easily be let astray and our testimony ruined in a matter of minutes if we gave in to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or the pride of life. Let’s purpose in our heart that we will follow after God as Daniel did.

No one likes the idea of going through trouble times but it seems the life of the Christian is one of suffering and difficult ways. Trust and believe in the eternal plan of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the troubles of this life will be no more at the end of our “10 day“ period of tribulation.

It’s true that life in the direction of it can be very difficult to figure out at times. But I believe God has given us direction through his word and that we can travel in the general direction he wants us to go if we will stay in his word every day. Let’s try our best to follow the signs that God has given us and to follow the path that he has set before us.

There’s not much more that can take your mind off of things and taking a good walk out into nature. But a walk with God will be far greater than anything else we can do. We need each other and can enjoy those intimate moments one on one with those we love but that special time alone with the Lord will do us good!

Trying to use a Phillips head screwdriver when you have to have a flat head is going to cause a lot of heartache and a lot of waste of time. The same is true when we tried to do the Lords work trying to do it by ourself. We have to understand that to do the Lords work we have to have the Lord. The right tool for the right job.
