Isaiah 40:26

"Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things...."

God created the heavens and the earth.

God is REAL. HE is the creator of everything.  The heavens declare the Glory of God.  All creation sing his wonders.  Even the rocks cry out...!  

But we live in a world that does not believe God exists.  We desensitize our thoughts and feelings continually by what goes into our heads.

We must guard our hearts and minds.  We have been assigned to live in this world for a period of time and we are not to become of it.  And we must stand in the gap for our families and each other.  

Always remember, we have three enemies to be aware of:  Satan, the world, and our own fleshly desires.    Can we stand against this three fold attack and survive...?

YES WE CAN.    But only through God's grace and providence.

God's Word says that Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.   The Word says: Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.  

If you are struggling:  Ask Jesus into your heart.  Join the family of God.  

If you have already asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, then dive into God's Word.  The bible is rich with encouragement, promises, and life instruction.   Pray to God for wisdom to understand what you are reading.  He loves to answer prayers like that.  Be mindful that our adversary is prowling about.  You must arm your selves and protect your families by praying a hedge of protection around you.

Are praying and reading the bible your life style?    Mommies and Daddies:  We set the primary example.  And young people, here's a word for you straight from the holy scripture: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12.

There is a world out there that is lost and hurting.  God's Word is the Rescue Boat.  We are the emergency personnel God will use to implement life saving procedures.

Pray about how God can use you to witness to those within your sphere of influence.

God made the stars in the sky and he made you and me.  He's got the whole world in his hands.  He can do ANYTHING.  Our focus needs to be on God more than the world and our problems.

Some trust in chariots and horses, but we will trust in the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7

Friends, we are at a crossroads today just as the Israelites were under Joshua's leadership in the old the old testament.   Here is Joshua's defining statement to God's people:

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  Joshua 24:15

Friends,

My family and I are with Joshua.  Who are you with?  Who (or what) will you serve today...?

I love you and I am praying for You.  Wishing you a wonderful day in Christ Jesus.  Please call or text me if you need prayer or would like to know more about a personal relationship with Jesus.

Your Brother in Christ,
