Back to the Beginning! You must know what God did! #9

Wake up and know!

Psalm 90:14 

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,

    that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Wake up every morning and get in the Word of God and know how much God loves you! Then you can rejoice and be glad all day every day for there is nothing greater than knowing how much God loves you and what He has done for you through Jesus Christ in providing salvation for eternity if you will put your faith in Jesus and follow Him for the rest of your life!

God is the only thing that truly satisfies….He made you that way!

Life may be tough but…

Life is tough! Tougher for some than others. A few things we must remember:

1. This earth is not your home if you are a follower of Jesus:

Jesus said John 17:16 “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”

2. Jesus told us as followers we would suffer on this side of heaven: John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

3. Once we get to heaven all this will seem like nothing as we will be celibate in heaven!!! 

Romans 8:18 

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

So keep doing the will of God no matter the cost and soon, very soon we will be with King Jesus in Paradise!

4 Words that explain much:

Genesis 1:1 

1 In the beginning God

Just think on those words. 

God created

God loved

God had a plan

God is in control

God had you on His mind

Chew on that for a while today.

Be Like Jesus today!

Ephesians 4:29 NKJV

29Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Jesus was always kind, caring, and compassionate. He loved others. Thus everything He said was needed and He tried to build others up. He shared grace with others. May we all do the same today. When we do we are like Jesus and as followers that is our goal each day! 

It’s Monday….be like Jesus and bring others to Him for His glory!!!

Are you righteous?

After reading these verses you will want to be!

Psalm 34:15-17 

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

And His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

First, there is only one way to be righteous before God, and you can not do it yourself! The ONLY way to be righteous before God is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. His blood covers us sinners and thus when we put our faith in Him and surrender our lives to His Lordship we are righteous in the eyes of God!

Second, as you see in verses above God watches, listens, and delivers them out of problems as God sees fit. Sometimes the way God delivers we get upset about….like death instead of healing for example but we must remember God is in control and always knows best.

Third, if one does not follow Jesus one day soon Jesus will return and take God’s children home and those who reject Jesus will be judged and remembered no more!

If you are not righteous in God’s eyes, you can be…..put your faith in and follow His son Jesus today!
