PRAISE

I will praise the Lord for He is great! My life must praise the Lord in all things.

Do you want to forget the cares of the world? Get caught up in praising the Lord and all things will fall off of you when you get captivated in the presence of the Lord.

The trees and the rocks praise the Lord when we do not give Him the praise offering that He so deserves.

I will praise the Lord for His lovingkindness, mercy, longsuffering and His grace that He has bestowed upon me.

Lord, I praise and honor you when I am obedient unto thy works. Thy words are a light unto my feet and I will exalt the name of the Lord with each breath that I take.

My life will be filled with your presence when I think on you and praise you all the day. I know that in your presence is where I find my strength and comfort.

You created me that I would honor and praise you and that my life would be an example of what is is to serve and praise you.

To Be or Not to Be

We have a question to answer everyday. To be a born again Christian or not to be. What do you choose to be today? Are you going to become a child of God that seek His face daily and walk in His presence as you take each step receiving the peace that surpasses all understanding. Asking Him for His grace that is sufficient to take you through each day. You may have problems but you will have the comforter that He gives to be with you as you walk daily.

OR

Do you choose to live in the world of today? To face this cruel world and all the hatred, violence and evil that is around every where. To have no true friends, no peace, no joy and no strength. To wonder and worry about what tomorrow is going to hold for you. To have sickness and not be able to handle it, Have your children hate you, curse you and be into the things of this world and worry will they survive it. This world has nothing to offer but heartache, loneliness and in the end a burning inferno.

For I know the that the only place you can receive peace, joy, love and a true friend is from my Savior, Jesus Christ. To know that when this old world passes away you will be walking in the presence of the Lord and Savior who gave His life for you. To know that is to have peace that surpasses all understanding as you take each step toward your heavenly home.

Take His Hand

Take His hand today as you walk each step for He is watching over you and He cares for you. I know that you know the Savior and all the love that He has for you. Just know that what you are facing He is working on right now for He does not like to see His children hurting. As He takes you through this trial take hold of His hand and walk with Him through it for He will give you the peace that you are seeking and He will dry your tears. In this He will give you joy and peace that surpasses all understanding. You will truly experience the hand of Jesus in your life when you take hold of His hand of Jesus and trust Him as you walk today. The Lord promises you as His child that He will never leave you nor forsake you and as you are hurting look to Him for His strength to carry you through this for His promises are true. He is our Savior and we can cast all our cares at His feet and He will take care of them for He says that His grace is sufficient to carry us through today. He is holding out His hand now for you to take hold of. He is there waiting to hold His precious child. To love you as no other and be with you as you face this trial.

I Believe

I believe that Jesus came here and walked as a man knowing that He would give up His life one day for my sins. I believe that He shed His blood on Calvary and died for my sins and rose again just so I would have eternal life in Him when I leave this world.

I believe that He is the way, the truth and the life and that no man can see Him unless they repent and turn away from the things of this world. I believe that His words are true and that when I read His words and follow them I will be filled with flowing rivers o joy in my life no matter what circumstances I am in. I believe that He left commandments for me to follow and that I must seek His face and His righteousness first above all things. I believe that in Him is where the true meaning of life lies and that in that life is where the peace that surpasses all understanding is.

I believe that when I pray that He hears me and He is moved with compassion when I am hurting. I believe that I must go out into this lost and dying world to tell others that Jesus Christ is coming soon. He said, "Greater works shall I do when I receive power from on high."

I believe that all who cling to the Savior will be going home as soon as the trumpet is sounded. I believe that Jesus is coming to receive me unto Himself soon and very soon. I am the bride of Jesus waiting for the Bridegroom to come and take me home with Him.

Are we grieving God?

Do we teach our children the ways of the Lord or have we become like the Israelites who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years?

Do our children know more of the things of the world? Can they tell you stories from the Bible and scriptures or can they quote every word from a movie or television show?

Are we going out to the lost children proclaiming the gospel? Is the light of Christ bright in our lives or is it fading away?

What have we let influence our children? Is their hunger for more of the world or Christ? Have they ever seen you kneel and pray and seek the Father daily?

Do you give them the things of the world trying to fill the emptiness in their lives? Have you taught them about the Savior who gave His life for them?

Do you come in with a hunger when you attend church? Do they see that hunger for Christ in your life? How do they come to church, our they ready for church to be over so that can do they things that they want?

We bring our families to church two times a week but are we so caught up in the world that we can't leave the things of the world out of God's house?

God is calling us to teach our children about Him as they look at our lives everyday.
