Good word for the follower!

A good word for the follower of Jesus this morning!

John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

Remember brothers and sisters that when you come to Jesus and pledge allegiance to the Lamb of God with your life, He will never cast out! You will be with Him always!!! I know someone needs that reminder today! Live for Jesus, He alone is worthy of your life!

Thank you Lord.

Comfort of assurance.

Speaking for myself and I hope you feel the same, knowing the assurance of my salvation in comforting and gives me peace! I want to give you a verse this morning to reassure you and comfort you as a follower of Jesus!

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

AHHHHH! Nothing can separate us from the love of the Father when we are in Christ Jesus! Thank you Lord Jesus!

Do you have that assurance in Jesus Christ? If not you can today. If you need help feel free to message me anytime! Be my honor to help you in any way I can!

Tom

Blessed for being reproached!

Stand strong brothers and sisters!

He Knows Your Need (Guest writer)

I thought this was too good not to share! God is good!
Devotional by John Piper

“Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” (Matthew 6:31–32)

Jesus wants his followers to be free from worry. In Matthew 6:25–34, he gives at least seven arguments designed to take away our anxiety. One of them lists food and drink and clothing, and then says, “Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all” (Matthew 6:32).


Jesus must mean that God’s knowing is accompanied by his desiring to meet our need. He is emphasizing we have a Father. And this Father is better than any earthly father.

I have five children. I love to meet their needs. But my knowing falls short of God’s knowing in at least three ways.

First, right now I don’t know where any of my children are. I could guess. They’re in their homes or at work or school, healthy and safe. But they might be lying on a sidewalk with a heart attack.

Second, I don’t know what is in their heart at any given moment. I can guess from time to time. But they may be feeling some fear or hurt or anger or lust or greed or joy or hope. I can’t see their hearts. They don’t even know their own hearts perfectly.

Third, I don’t know their future. Right now they may seem well and steady. But tomorrow some great sorrow may befall them.

This means I can’t be for them a very strong reason not to worry. There are things that may be happening to them now, or may happen tomorrow, that I do not even know about. But it is totally different with their Father in heaven. Our Father in heaven! He knows everything about us, where we are, now and tomorrow, inside and out. He sees every need.

Add to that, his huge eagerness to meet our needs. Remember the “much more” of Matthew 6:30, “If God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you?”

Add to that his complete ability to do what he is eager to do (he feeds billions of birds hourly, around the world, Matthew 6:26).

So join me in trusting the promise of Jesus to meet our needs. That’s what Jesus is calling for when he says, “Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.”

What is your delight today?
