Get close!

 “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭

Submit to God and draw near is our call. Fight the devil and continue drawing closer and closer to God! As God sees your desire he closes the gap in the distance. Oh what a beautiful truth and picture this is for us! God wants to be close with us but it takes effort on our part! 

Are you getting closer or further away from God? Start today of getting close by submitted to Jesus!

 Something to think about!

Tame it!

 “But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.”

‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭

Only One who can tame our tongues is God through the power of the Holy Spirit. Obviously God  wants us to use our mouths for good…praising and glorifying Him also uplifting others! So let’s be obedient and do so!

The Lord is…

 “The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭8‬ ‭

A reminder as we start another week of what a loving God we have proven by what He shows us…mercy, grace, patience, and again giving us way more mercy than we deserve! Thank you Lord Jesus! We love you and praise you forever!!!

Right way!

 “Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked; For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭

People do some crazy things to prosper. Don’t be one of them. Be content with what God blessed you with doing things the right way!

Settled

 “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. They continue this day according to Your ordinances, For all are Your servants.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭89‬-‭91‬ ‭

Most of us like things settled not up in the air. With God He has all things settled according to His Word and because of this we have nothing to worry about as He is in control!!!
