Good Morning,

Paul and the other Apostles, endured much suffering for the cause of Christ.  But their sufferings helped them to be content in whatever circumstances they found themselves in, even in prison, and when we look closely at their teachings, this is a large part of the Christians life.  Take time today to look at all the blessings God showers on us through His word and try harder to make this day and every day, a day of rejoicing just as God meant it to be.

Dear disciple,

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not for I am an unchanging God whose love, mercy, and grace will always be with you who remain. faithful to Me.  I am your refuge and strength, a very present help in time of danger. Proverbs 46.1.  When all else fails, when friends and family turn against you, turn to Me and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. See Matthew 11.28.  When everyone else turns you away, Jesus will take you in.  Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will be added unto you. Matthew 6.33.

Good Morning,

Life can always show us how sudden things can change in our lives that catch one off guard.  We are disappointed that these inconveniences must be endured and accept the changes they will bring into our lives.  Yet, please remember some things. God is still with us to bear our burdens, Hebrews 13:5-6; our brethren are always praying for us, James 5:16.  When we have these situations it’s a time to allow our faith and trust in Him who can help us through all of our troubles, Romans 8:28. Yes, our plans must change but in a little while they can be fulfilled later.  This will presents an opportunity for each of us to step up and help our brother to take care of things he won’t be able to do for little while, Romans 12:15; Galatians 6:9-10.  Rest well my brother you are in good hands!

Good Morning,

God gave some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some Pastors, and some teachers, for the perfection of the Saints, for the working of the ministry, for the edifying of the body Christ, which is His church. Ephesians 4.11-12.  Although His body is made up of different parts, all of the parts are to work together in unity, being of the sane mind and speaking the same thing so there is no division among us Jesus prayed for unity John 17.11,John 17.20-21.

Good Morning,

Only those who endure temptation when he is tried will receive the promised crown of life which has been promised to those who love God and His beloved Son, Jesus the Christ.  But as the world goes, disciples sometimes like to say that it is God who tempts them.  But this is just a lie for it is written that God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does He tempt anyone.  Do we not understand that we are tempted when we withdraw from God by our own lusts; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, and when lust is conceived it brings sin; and sin when it is finished brings us spiritual death? WE as disciples must be careful not to err when we are tempted and tried.  My thoughts from James 12:16.  Thanks for reading.
