Victory Today

For far too many Christians God is their last resort rather than their first. Ps. 18 three times David calls God his deliverer and in Ps.34:17 he says that God delivers the faithful from ALL their troubles.

David in Ps. 18 thanked God for being his "buckler" and three times his strength. This was after Saul tried to kill him several times. God is our deliverer but we must first admit our need and then He will deliver us.

Whay do I do if I haye my parents? Is it true all people who committ suicide go to hell? What can parents do to combat the wickedness confronting our children? What about placing our elderly in nirsing homes?

People get excited over spoerting events, sales and many many other daily events. What about the greatest part of our lives---our Christian life? Sins forgiven, eternity with Jesus and our saved loved ones? No sorrow or sickness or pain and sufferings! Read Jerimiah 29:11 and get excited about the "expected end" He has for you.

It took 9 months to form you but one second to save you. With your salvation came many, many promisesa nd instant power for the claiming. Salvation is not a process. His presence is not on again off again but constant and ALL His promises are here and available now!

Many think "someday" God will give me power. Someday He will grant me His blessings. Someday I will be with Him. NO my friend. A thousand times no---today yoy have His power. Today you are made whole and forgiven and blessed. Today!

As we look into the New Year we all have good intentions and things we "intend" to do BUT as the days go bye we don't do them or at best put them off. Here are a few simple things we can acturally do and reasons for doind them.

Why do we consider a person we know is saved dying as "lost"? Why don't we get excited when a Chrisitan dies that they are with Jesus? What if we sin after we are saved? We need to be thankful for the blessings we have! What's going to happen in 2026---Is Jesus coming?

People ask "what do you think is going to happen in 2026?" Answer: "Whatever God wants" Friend, God has got this! I couldn't begin to tell what anyone in the world is going to do but I know---God is in control. His plan is sure his promises intact and it's all going to be OK!

There are many things in life we can't control but these three we can! Forgiveness, prayer and putting Jesus fiest. Let's make these three a New Years promise to God.
