God is there, wherever you are

This is a post which should give you peace. Regardless of the problems that we live in and through in our lives, God is there with you. God said it in the Old Testament and Jesus taught that worry is not good and said for us to “not worry about tomorrow”. There is nothing that you can do about what you think is coming, it may not come at all. Tomorrow is not here until after midnight and even then it is not tomorrow at that time. God was/is there before you and He can help you in every good or bad situation because He is there. For those who believe in God and His salvation through Jesus, there is not one day that you are alone.

If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior…then you do have a problem. Living life without Jesus as your Savior doesn’t work very well. It is like an unsharpened pencil because it is useless and it has no point! Your purpose is found in serving God and believing in Jesus as your Savior. There are people who live their lives with their “version” of God and say that they are Christians. You will hear them say things like: “My God would never send someone to hell”; “My God is forgiving to all people”. God didn’t let the Israelites get away with any transgression, so why do you think that you are so special? Having a “version” of God ISN’T the real God.

Seek Jesus Christ in the Bible. He appeared to Abraham. He appeared in the bush that didn’t burn when Moses was commanded to take of his sandals. He appeared to Joshua before the conquest of the promised land as the Commander of the Lord’s armies. Jesus came to protect the Jewish boys who would not bow to the statue in Babylon and they walked out of the furnace alive and without the smell of smoke.

Life goes much better for those who believe in Jesus as their Savior. It is not without problems, but Jesus is with you through those problems. Your life will not be perfect but you do have the peace of Jesus to comfort you in all of your troubles. Regardless of the trouble, He will give you the strength to get through those troubles. God loves you and He will be with you in all things, place your faith in Jesus for your salvation so that your eternity is secure in Him.

All things are possible

Serve in love

On our nation’s 250th birthday, we need to seek Him and learn from Him how to live in our freedom in Christ and the freedom that we have in America.

Live peacefully

Trust in the Lord

The Lord is your Rock of all ages. He is the foundation of the Christian faith, and He is your Savior. Trust in Him for your eternal foundation. God loves us because we are His creation and His love is deeper than anyone can imagine. The problem that we have is that we live in a fallen world. The whole of Creation was impacted when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s order not to eat of a certain tree and we have been living with the consequences of that ever since.

In Him we are safe

Resist the Devil…

Resist the devil. What does that mean?

Any temptation that comes into your mind or your sight that tempts you to do something or want something that you shouldn’t have. Those come from the devil and his minions. Temptation comes in many forms but most are from things that God wouldn’t approve of. Jesus went through temptations when He was in the wilderness after His baptism. We see things, such as beautiful cars or trucks that we can’t afford and it is tempting to finance it, especially if we can’t afford it. It is a temptation to get what you desire rather than what God wants you to have. Resist these temptations and pray that God will show you what you should have and ask Him to help you to get it. Walking and living in His will is not hard to do, but you have to do it deliberately.

Life doesn’t compare to heaven

Eternity will be so much better than anything we are going through today. Life here has many problems and possibilities but for many of us we seem to have more problems than possibilities. Eternity with God will be so much more than anything that we have to live through here. Get to know Jesus. Read the Bible. It’s not just a book about what you can do or can’t do, it is God’s love letter to us. He shows us how much He loves us and that love is the basis of all of the blessings that we have now and the unknowable wonder of heaven that we will have there.

Let justice roll on like a river…

Our righteousness and justice both come from God and our relationship with Him. But so many people today don’t consider God as their Savior or even consider that our relationship with God should dictate how our lives should be lived. God gave us the wisdom contained in the Bible, regardless of which version you read, and it is the best guidebook for living that we could ever have!

God loves you and your life matters to Him. Live your life by following Him every day and you will find that life is not as hard to live. God’s presence in your life, beginning with reading even a single verse every day, can make your life so much better. Many don’t seem to understand that God’s presence in their life every day can make every day better.
