Equal?

 ““To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭25‬ ‭

May we always remember…God has no equal! He is the greatest of all and Creator of all and deserves our worship and praise!

Beautiful feet?

 “And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭15‬ ‭

Most think feet are kinda nasty! lol Not God! When our feet are used to spread the gospel, God says they are beautiful! As followers of Jesus we are all sent to preach the death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ for the sins of the world. Then encourage all to repent and follow Him!!!

Is God gonna say you have beautiful feet?

What is done for Christ?

 I was doing some reading and come across this quote by CT  Studd:

Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.

And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be, If the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee.

Chew on this and ask yourself:

What have I done for Jesus? Like telling others about Him.

Are you living your life for Jesus that is pleasing to Him?

Unbelievable mercy

 “And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days.”

‭‭I Kings‬ ‭21‬:‭28‬-‭29‬b

Even after all the wickedness King Ahab had done God still showed him mercy. He does the same for us through Jesus. If we will put our faith in Christ as Lord and Savior He will forgive us our sins and save our souls! Unbelievable mercy!!!

Thank you Lord!

Trouble maker!

 “Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “Is that you, O troubler of Israel?” And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals.”

I Kings 18:17-18 

Those who follow God faithfully will be accused at times of all kinds of things. Stay true to God and He will always see you through but remember it may not always be the way you think it will be! God is in control not us!

Key ingredient!

 “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30‬ ‭ 

When looking for a spouse…man or woman…this is a key ingredient: “Who fears the Lord”!

This should be #1 on the list. For nothing else compares to importance than this!

Tom

Turned his heart!

 “But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.” I Kings 11:1-4 

Even the wisest will stray if they don’t stay grounded in the Word of  God and obey it! Hard to understand how such a wise man who had everything can make such a stupid mistake! Seems we do the same thing though!
