Morning Thoughts

God is a just God. He is a righteous God. And he will always do the right thing. As for Man, we will always try to get by. But God will never overlook the sin of man. We have to take ownership of all that we have done wrong, repent, and return to God. It’s not his fault. It’s ours.

Man has made many advancements for sure but we have to realize the source of all that we have. God has been good to man but man has not been so good back!God deserves credit for what he’s given to man but man desires to take all the credit for all the good.

It would please the devil for us to be divided continually one against the other. The ways of the devil are cunning and manipulative. Many times we don’t even know that he’s working. Let’s not let the devil win. Let’s stand together and fight against the powers of darkness.

We all have a favorite song or hymn but I know for sure that most Christians and even non-Christians are very familiar with the song Amazing Grace. That song was written in a very trouble time my very troubled man in Christ, but a very trouble time imported that grace to all of mankind.

We all feel like the walls are closing in around us some days and that there’s no end to the task list that needs to be completed. We become overwhelmed and feel like that there’s no help. We even feel like there’s no help from family and friends and we feel like giving up. But we have a God that is ready and willing to open doors to deliver us out from the panic and the pain if we would just cry out.

We have so many familiar paths that we walk When darkness comes, we have to take each step carefully because the darkness impairs our vision. Regardless of how well we know the way, darkness, storms, fogginess, and rain, blur our vision. The same can be said about our spiritual walk as well. Our spiritual vision can grow them and we begin to walk in spiritual darkness in need of spiritual light of which Christ can provide.

I don’t know that anything brings more worry to our minds and bodies that are physical health. And many times it is kept to ourselves. We know we have aches and pains and we don’t always share them. And we also have the mental and emotional and spiritual aches and pains that we keep to ourselves as well. We have the great physician that can heal them all.

Emotional responses rarely give accurate responses. This is especially true when it comes to anger. Many verses in the Bible address the issue of anger so we need to give attention to the matter as much as we can.

Fear. It’s something we all experience some more than others. But Jesus says we can overcome that fear if we will simply focus on him. It’s difficult to do sometimes given the circumstances but he says be not afraid in fact he says be of good cheer. Press on.

We will spend countless hours on things we enjoy but will we put the time in when it comes to the things of God? Well we seek his face on a continuous basis when we are searching for an answer to a prayer or two will need? Or do we just expect him to give without us putting forth the effort?
