Sometimes when you’ve done what you consider the best that you could and things don’t seem to be working out the way that you were expecting it to, you feel “why put in any more effort.” We have to remember that Gog is in control. If we have declared our allegiance to Him in our confession of faith, we belong to Him. God has perfect timing and that is one of the reasons He told us never to be anxious about anything. We have to trust God to keep us and all that concerns us. He will fix any situation but we have to trust Him to do it His way. We have to let go and Let God. He is well capable to do the best even if it doesn’t match up to the way that we expected it to turn...

“For God so loved the world that He gave..”- John 3:16 To have an attitude like the Lord is a great asset. We are glad to do things as long as we get the credit but if there is no credit to be gotten, we don’t participate. what if Christ had thought, “there is nothing in this for me so why should I give my life for these people. All they are going to do is turn around and curse me and despise me and hate me.” If He had thought like that, we would have no savior, no one to ransom us from the life of death that we were heading for. When we deny self the gratification and sacrifice the glory for Christ, our reward on earth and in Heaven is great. Sometimes we don’t see the outcome of what we do but God allows us to witness a transformation in someone else life . Sometimes that same sacrifice is the catalyst to the start of something wonderful. When we aren’t so concern about who gets the credit, God can use our sacrifices to honor...

We wake up everyday supposing that we did it on our own strength, we bow our knee and wonder how we did it, we take our hands and brush our teeth and look in the mirror never thinking that we didn’t do it, we eat our breakfast or drink our coffee and never think that we didn’t digest it by our selves, we drive our cars and look to and fro and didn’t cause an accident and didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we walk to the office perform a productive days work and didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we take the car or the transit home to our families and didn’t cause or get into an accident but we didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we watch the TV or play the game or go on the internet but we didn’t think that we didn’t do it. What did we really do through that entire day? Not a thing! God did it all, we just took all the credit and didn’t give Him any of the praise. He deserves the praise for every breath we take from when we wake up in the morning until we do the same the next day. He sustain all that we see or don’t see, do or don’t do. Give Him thanks and worship Him. He is an awesome God. He deserves...

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…” Not an easy thing to do when we have our priorities in confusion. We are less likely to believe that He will do what He says he will do when we are in confusion. Most of the time because of our priorities being in disorder we don’t know what His Word says and in that lack of knowledge, we don’t know how to trust God. God Has many promises in His Word and it is our responsibilities as “Christians” to study to show our selves approved so that we can trust Him for what He says in His Word. On Christ the Solid Rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand. We say and sing these words so many times that it just becomes “words” with no meaning. We have to get the meaning back into the words that we say or stop saying them all together because they become meaningless unless we start trusting God for His...

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.”- Ephesians 3:20NIV Christ in us through His Holy Spirit gives us enthusiasm to do above average in all the things that we do. We are His and we have to seek Him, then we will find Him. He desires the best for us and so He will give us the power to achieve at a high level. The difference with this success and the one that the people in the world has is that it is complete. God fills the emptiness that is felt by so many successful people. He gives us a deep satisfaction inside to enjoy our achievements. Without Christ inside, there is no contentment that is lasting. It may come and go, but it never settles deep inside. Jesus said that He will give us His peace, not as the world gives us. That peace last a life time and the outcome is extraordinary living and Godly...

Sometimes we are at the entrance to something great but God does not show us the path we must take. He gives us an open door and speaks to us in a still voice telling us to trust Him. He also reminds us in His word to not be anxious of anything but to proceed in prayer and supplication. He knows where we are going and He knows where to lead us. The example that comes to my mind is of a traveler walking on a road but the road comes to the edge of a cliff. No way around but to go across or to turn around and go back. In our case God says to trust Him by stepping out on faith. Only thing is, we don’t see any place to put our foot. It takes all of the faith in us to deny our human desire to know everything and to be in control. Only thing is we have only one choice, if faith in God is our desire. God wants us to trust Him. We have to know for our selves that He wants the best for us. He is our Father who wouldn’t hurt us in any way. Why is it that we trust Him the least? Isn’t He big enough for our impossibilities? Let me know how you feel, I’d like to...
