Is Discouragement Knocking on Your Door?

July 22, 2011

     Don't answer the door when discouragement knocks.  When difficulties come, we must face them with courage and boldness remembering that God is on our side.  We must move God into the center of our lives and confidently trust that His love, grace, and power are available to us at all times.  Through prayer we are able and euqipped to carry out God's will and purpose for His Kindgom and His glory.  Our future is in God's Kingdom, and our journey on earth is a fleeting moment compared to eternal life with Jesus Christ, our King. 

     Faith in God and hard work produce results if you are obeying and trusting Him.  Blessings are abundant for the Lord's servants.  It is time to take up the sword of the Spirit, the living Word, and fight the good fight of faith.  "Don't be discouraged and give up, for we will reap an abundant harvest of blessings at the appropriate time."  Galations 6:9

   Do you ever lose your confidence in God?  Sometimes life can be overwhelming and troubles or demands on our time can cause us to lose our focus.  That's what happened to a few good men who knew a real miracle working man first hand.  It was a fine, clear day with blue skies and calm waters when Jesus and His closest friends decided to get in their boat and cross the lake.

   All of a sudden a terrible, wind-ripping, sink-your-boat storm came out of nowhere.  There was panic, screaming, an...

Perspective

July 22, 2011

Think on it...

   When we change our perspective, everything changes.  We may be carried in the beginning of life and at the end, but what happens in between is the real measure of our lives. 

   Psalm 1:1-2 "Blessed are those who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit with the mockers, but they take great delight in God's law and meditate on it always.  They are like trees by the streams whose leaves never die; they produce sweet fruit and all th...

JOYFUL, PEACEFUL, LOVING  -  These words describe Jesus and they should describe our lives because we are free in Him.  Free to love, free to give... He came that we might have abundant life.  Come and make your home in my heart Jesus forever.
