To be the greatest!

 All of us want to be great. Jesus told us how to be the greatest:

Matthew 23:11 

11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Be a servant to others! Jesus showed us how and gave us the example to follow when He humbled Himself and came to this earth. He served others even to death! So we must do the same. Serve to show the love of God to others. When we do serve others we find we receive the blessing in helping someone who is in need. 

So be the greatest today in God's eyes and serve others, for it is what we do for the Lord that really matters!

Enjoy your Labor Day!

 To my brothers and sisters in Christ...Happy Labor day! Let us praise God for His many blessings He has given us especially a job to provide for us and our families. Let us also pray for those who may be struggling right now. Maybe it is looking for a job or making enough to meet all the needs of their family.

It is good and proper to work as God's Word says:

2 Thessalonians 3:10

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

Thank you for working and obeying God! Thank you for what ever service you are providing to our country. You are valued and you are important not only to the USA but more importantly to God! Keep up the good work and remember this on your day to day grind at your job:

Colossians 3:23 

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men

Who am I to be loved by you??? We are God's creation! And He loves us! Praise the Lord!

My affliction!

 My biggest affliction is sin! I need a cure! You are in the same boat as I am...you are afflicted with sin as well. We need help!

Romans 3:23 

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

So what are we to do about our affliction?

50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.

We go to the Word of God for comfort which gives us a solution to our affliction. The Word of God says our affliction sin brings death!

Romans 6:23 

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

While sin brings death the Word of God also brings comfort as you see God has a gift for us...eternal life in Jesus! A cure for our sin affliction!!!! Praise the Lord! To cure our sin affliction we must put our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Follow Him for the rest of our lives. He is the ONLY cure for our sin affliction!

So have you been healed of your sin affliction or are you still afflicted? For if one is not cured before death life eternal life awaits in hell for you affliction!

Come to the Great Physician and be cured today! He loves you!

Lord help me see!

 God has written us a love letter. The bible! He reveals His love and how to have the best relationship with Him. It is still amazing to me that God desires a relationship with a sinner like me! I want to be obedient to God and this verse reveals how our minds should think:

Psalm 119:18 

18 Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.

God help us see everything in Your Word so we can experience you to the fullest and glorify your name the way you deserve! To see the wondrous things of God's Word takes effort from us for we can not see and understand that which we do not take time to read and study!

Lord help us see!!!!! Then help us do for your glory!!!!

Revive me in your way!

 May this be the prayers of our hearts:

Psalm 119:37 

37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.

How much time a day do we look at and do worthless things? Seriously think about it. Between our phones and tv and some other things we burn many hours on worthless things. Things that when we stand before God and give an account of our lives to God we will hang our heads because we wasted so much time on worthless things.

May we seek revival in God's ways! Reading His Word, worshipping and praising Him, loving others, and sharing the gospel. These are the ways of God and we need to be revived! Help us Lord turn to you and make good use of our time and glorify your name!!!

Chew on this verse and think about it today. Let God speak to you!
