Practical word!

It is awesome how practical God's Word is:

Proverbs 14:17a

17a A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,

Here God tells us something we all have done....got mad at someone quickly and done something we should not have! So what do we do? Be on guard of that behavior. When we get upset over something, slow down and think it through. Then do what Jesus would do in that situation. This should help us from acting foolishly like violence or saying something we wish we had not!

God's Word is practical for everyday use....so use it for His glory!

Everything commanded

Remember these Words from Jesus before He went back to heaven:

Matthew 28:20 

20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
What I want you to catch this morning from this verse is "observe all thing I have commanded you". I believe all of God's words to us where He is telling us something to do or not to do is a command. So Jesus here is telling us to observe and obey all the things He commanded us as He heads back to heaven. It is for our benefit and His glory that we do what our Lord says. Also we must know WHAT He said so we better be reading our bibles!!! 
Everything Jesus commanded is important, let us be sure we are doing those things!

God's love satisfies.

The best way to start the day is to know that God does the following:

Psalm 90:14 

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
    that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

When I wake up every morning I need to remind myself God loves me and His love never fails. Knowing that satisfies me! What more can I ask for than a God who loves me????
I then can live out the rest of my day in song, joy, and peace because God has me in His hand. What else could make one more glad than that? Nothing! Only God truly satisfies every part of our soul!
Come to God and give your life to Jesus and find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed!!!

Kobe and others.

Yesterday I was saddened to hear that Kobe Bryant and several others lost their lives in a helicopter accident including his thirteen year old daughter. Kobe was an exceptional basketball player. When news channels learned of his death it was all over the news and social media. It got me to thinking about all the other people who died yesterday but nothing was said about them. Statistics say about 150,000 others died yesterday but we said nothing about them and to God they are just as important!

God says in His word:

2 Peter 3:9 
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Every person, every soul is important to God and that is why He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sin. We need to be reminded often that there is only ONE way to heaven and that is Jesus.

I pray that Kobe and the 150,000 others that died yesterday knew Jesus and spend eternity in heaven if not then they spend eternity in hell. This is why it is so important we spread the gospel!!!

Everyone is important to God, let us never forget that!

Stay on Jesus!

A friend of mine shared this and I thought it was worth sharing with you!



finishing the the last sentence...steadied with the truth instead of overrun with the thoughts of fear, anxiety, and worse-case scenarios.
