Being busy can become a Distraction.

Luke 10:38 

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was DISTRACTED with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”41 And Jesus answered and said to her,“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Like Martha, even though our DESIRE is to have a close relationship with God, our busy schedules & neverending to do list often become a distraction.

Today, lets make sure we make time for the most important relationship in our lives and that is our relationship with JESUS ♥

Be blessed.

Stand Firm & Worship God

2 Chronicles 20 17 

You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”18 Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord.

So many times, when we have problems our first reaction is to try and solve them on our own. Take matters into our own hands. BUT the Word of GOD says for us to take our positions, stand firm and SEE the deliverance that the Lord will give us. The Word also states that in that time of standing still Jehoshaphat & the people of Judah & Jerusalem began to WORSHIP & GIVE thanks for their delivery.

Today, in the midst of our problems, lets do the same. Lets STAND STILL & WORSHIP GOD because we know that tomorrow when go to face the problem HE will give us the VICTORY.

Have a Blessed Day

Don't forget to PRAISE God for what he's already done

Luke 17:15-17

  One of them, when he saw he was HEALED, CAME BACK, PRAISING GOD in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to GOD except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

All 10 lepers were in the same awful position. All PRAYED & were HEALED. Yet only ONE returns to offer thanksgiving. So many times we see our need to PRAY but we don't see our need to PRAISE God for our delivery afterwards.

Today let's not forget to PRAISE God for the the miracles he has ALREADY done in our lives.

God Bless.

Church is a Hospital for Sinnners, Not a club for Saints

Mark2 16 & 17

When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The "Church" is essentially a hospital for those who are sick. Let's keep that in mind every time we mess up. The "Hospital" is where you go to get better when you are sick & struggling with disease of sin. Today let's SEEK the Doctor Jesus , his LOVE is the medicine this world will NEVER prescribe.

Have a BLESSED day.

Never Forget

Ephesians 6:10-12

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God,so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

On this day, we are to remember those who fought for their country, and died defending what they believed in.

In the spiritual world there is also a war and in war there are always casualties. Today we pray for those who were in war and have been left for dead by our enemy. We remember those who once were so ready to fight for what they believed in and were knocked out so badly that still haven't gotten up. We present them in prayer and ask the Lord to help them stand up once again. Today we will not forget our beloved soldiers both physically and spirituality.

Have a Blessed Day & Never Forget.

Keep Calm & Trust God

Matthew 6:26

26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

So many of us spend countless hours worrying. But like the verse says "worry" won't add a single hour to our lives. Worry is actually a thief because it steals precious time from us that we will NEVER get back. Let's not waste any more time worrying. Instead do everything you can possibly do and the rest keep calm and trust God.

Enjoy your long weekend & Be Blessed.

He LOVES you no matter what !

Zephaniah 3:17

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

One guy told this story - Stopped for a routine seatbelt check, my wife and I were asked by the officer if we had our belts on. Then he shone his flashlight into the backseat and asked our six-year-old son Riley, “can you put your hands up, buddy?” As we continued our way, my wife noticed Riley was upset. “What’s wrong?” she asked him. “I thought he was going to SHOOT ME!” (Readers’ Digest, Feb.2005, p.71)

Sometimes we feel the same way, that if we come to church "God will shoot us"cause we've been so bad. But the TRUTH is that when we come to him, he rejoices over us cause His LOVE for us is greater then we can ever imagine. Today remember GOD loves you no matter where you are on the path of life.

Have a BLESSED day.
