Jesus

Will a mere mortal rob God?

This is so hard for some. How difficult is it to trust in our Creator, God Almighty , to provide for us?  After all, He has already given us air to breathe; water to drink, bathe, and recreate in; delightful food and taste buds to enjoy even the mundane routine of daily nourishment.

He gave us beauty in the sunrise, the bejewelled planet of the solar system as our home, the sunset, and cool breezes.  We share earth with the plants and animals, and He gave us families, the ability to create art, cities, and most importantly, He gave us our own free will to follow Jesus to obtain eternal life.  God is truly holy and only desires good for mankind.  He hates evil in every form.

Is our nation cursed because we are robbing God?  God doesn’t change, according to His Word.  Our nation needs wise leaders who follow God’s precepts and laws.  Our people must return to faith in the One True God, Jehovah and trust in His Son, Jesus, with a true heart.

Yet, there is always that nagging fear that our needs will not be met unless we maintain constant, fretful control of every detail of our lives.  I have heard, “Let go and let God.” Today I am trying to simply trust Him for the details while I just breathe in and out. Forgive me Lord, for all the times that I have robbed You!  I surrender it all to you in praise and thanks for it all belongs to you.  Turn America again to you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Where Were You? – Part I

The Book of Job contains the fascinating chapters 38-42.  Do you question if there really is a God, or want to know who He claims to be? In those scriptures, He reminds the tormented Job of His almighty power, and of man’s puny nothingness.  Job has no answer for God until he repents in chapter 42 verses 1-6.  God accepts Job’s humble response, but says that His wrath is kindled against Job’s friends who had doubted God’s love for Job.

I encourage you to read the scriptures daily and prayerfully ask God to reveal what special plan He has for your life.  He is so mighty, yet cares for each of us.  You are special to Him.  He created you with unique individualism, breathed life into you at birth, and wants to have a personal relationship with you.

How?  He made a special plan of redemption that by following His Son, Jesus, we can not only be saved from the penalty of sin, enjoy eternal life with Him in Heaven; but we can have a close relationship with Him right now during our life on earth!

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”     Romans 6:23 -KJV

Jesus promised His followers that He will change our present lives,

 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”   John 10:10-KJV

WOW! To my knowledge, no one can deliver on that promise except for Him.  Thank you, Lord!
