How long do you pray?

 Luke 6:12

12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Reading the bible and also reading many books about brothers and sisters in the past they spent much time in prayer with God. It seems in our microwave society where we want everything done fast prayer time has been shrunk in a mighty way. Prayer is talking to God and God desires time spent talking with His children. We must make it a priority to spend more time in prayer. As we have seen Jesus sometimes spent all night praying. If it was important to Him it must be with us as well.

How much time do you spend in prayer?

MIGHTY

 Psalm 93:4

New King James Version

4 The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

I hope you have had the opportunity to be on a beach by the ocean on a windy day when the waves are crashing on the shore. It is so loud you can hardly hear when someone right next to you is talking. If you have been in the ocean and have been hit by a big wave you know the power they have as it knocked you to the floor!!! Now when we think about God we need to remember God is all -powerful! He is mightier than these ocean waves and in fact is mightier than a nuclear bomb. We all need to keep this in mind! He is God!!!! He deserves all honor and glory and respect! But even in His power He is also love and loves you more than anyone! 

Thank you Lord for loving us even in your great power!!!

Came to save!

 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)

God loves us. He sent Jesus to save us through faith in Jesus. This is proof of His love for us! Now the first time Jesus came to save but the next time He comes it will be to judge the world for rejecting Him. We must be covered by His shed blood to stand before God and if one chooses to reject Him then He will be rejected by God and sent to hell. That is not God's desire as He wants all to be saved!!!! Receive the free gift of salvation today for that is why Jesus came...to save you!!!!

Know and do!

 Ephesians 5:17

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

As followers of Jesus this verse is very important. Look closely as what is is saying!

1. Be wise!

2. Know the will of God. How? Read the bible and prayer. Listen to the Holy Spirit.

3. Then do it!

As servants of the Lord we are to do the will of God in our lives like share the gospel, love others, help meet needs, and glorify the Lord in all areas of our lives!

No excuses....know and do the will of Jesus!!!

Tom

Understand the will of God.

Comfort!

 "In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul." Psalm 94:19

We are having a heat wave in my neck of the woods in Tennessee. I sure am glad my AC is bringing comfort to our family. In our world today there are many things that cause anxieties in our life like economy, bills, family issues, and sin. Thankfully we have a God who loves us and because He loves us He brings us comfort through HIs Word and through prayer. Oh how He has comforted me overe and over. I do not know how folks make it in this world without Jesus leading their lives!

So when those anxieties come, take comfort in the Lord for He loves you and will handle the situation as He sees fit so trust Him!
