Day 28 of God’s Love for Us November 22, 2017 Why do we have struggles in our lives? The easy answer is that we are rebellious in our hearts. We are either rebellious against God or rebellious against the devil. Struggles are meant as discipline and meant to teach us to seek good, seek God and his ways. Who, as a kid, was ever disciplined for doing morally right? If so, then it was done by someone who was immoral. “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.”(Hebrews 12:11) “Our fathers (parents) disciplined us as they thought best; but Read More
How to Combat Fear
How to Combat Fear November 21, 2017 I’ve heard a few quotes and lyrics worth posting and sharing that I am going to remember. Please share these with anyone you know who IS struggling in anyway. “Most of the things that happen, don’t accidentally occur, they are a result of seeds that you plant in the ground of your life and grow into a harvest. And if you don’t plant anything in the field of your life, then weeds will grow.” Dave Ramsey “Success is made on the dark, stormy, cloudy days of your life, if you Read More
Motivational Thoughts
November 18, 2017 “Lord, You have redeemed my past, made my present make sense, and secured my future.” written by an African Pastor in 1800’s who was martyred. (I’ve added a few words to make it a personal statement) “If we live by faith and not by sight, then if we stand we will stand as giants, and if walk we will walk as lions.” Lions by Skillett “If it’s true that You use broken things, then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours!” Broken Things by Matthew West Jesus has overcome all fear and thoughts Read More
Day 27 of God’s Love
Day 27 of God’s Love for Us November 17, 2017 “Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until his enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.”(Hebrews 10:11-14) Jesus, when He gave himself to be sacrificed and crucified, made way for a better covenant with God for everyone Read More

Day 25 of God’s Love
Day 25 of God’s Love for Us November 14, 2017 Today’s verse of love for us comes from Habakkuk. ” I heard and my inward parts trembled, at the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, and in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, for the people to arise who will invade us.” (Habakkuk 3:16) He knew trouble was coming because his country had no protection from their enemies that surrounded them. Today, we live in a chaotic world with enemies all around as well. They are tearing away at the Read More
The Universe and a Ladybug
In September, my pastor gave us a visual of how big our galaxy is. Then he painted the picture verbally of how great God is, and that He holds all of it in place in the palm of His hand. Yet He is so meticulous and loving to hold us individually and admire us just as we hold and admire a ladybug in our own hand. There is no fear valid or worthy for the person who holds Christ in their heart. “God wants us to hear His voice. In order to love God, we need to hear His voice Read More
