No matter what we face in this life we must trust God. There is divine purpose for every pain, divine strategies for every struggle, and divine appointment in our disappointments. God never slumbers nor sleeps. Therefore, He is able to make even the uncomfortable circumstances of our lives work for our good. We simply need to trust Him.

Jesus said to his disciples in St Matthew 24:44 " be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh" We live in the last days. Let us therefore watch and pray so that we are prepared for His coming and that we are not caught off guard.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. ROM. 8:28

Faithfulness is the quality of being loyal and reliable, a quality that is lacking in many individuals today. When we tell someone we will do something we need to follow through on our words. It shows that we live and care for them. Faithfulness will require us to submit our ways to God, realizing we need Him and He is in control. Let us be persons others can count on, persons who are tried and true.

Give and it shall be hiven unto you; good meadure, pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom. For with the same meadure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38. Let us give mercy and forgiveness today.

St John 16:33 ( Jesus speaking) "These things i have spoken to you that ye might have peace. In tnis world you shall have tribulation, but be of hood cheer. I have overcome the world"

Disappointments happen to all of us. Sometimes they really hurt. However, we do not have to allow them to control our lives. Sometimes we may just have to alter our expectations. In the end we can yield our disappointments to the One who never disappoints. His name is Jesus. Do you know Him today? Have you heard He loves you and will never leave nor forsake you?

Oh taste and see that the Lird is good; blessed is that man who trusts in Him. PS 34:8

Temptations happen to all us. Every day we are bombarded with messages and images that can lead to sinful lusts. However, we do not have to give in to these temptations. Jesus was tempted by the devil and He used the Word of God as a weapon against temptation. We too can use this method. Guided by the Holy Spirit through reading, studying and meditating on the Word of God will strengthen us so we will not give in to temptation. Temptation is not sin. Giving in to the temptation, that is sin. [email protected]

Many of us are very busy. Thus when God provides us with opportunities to help others we view them as intrusions. However, love is our daily duty. Today, God is going to send you someone who needs your help. Will you pass by on the other side?
