GoodMorning,

Faith is more than saying, I know God and I trust God.  Faith is not doing things here and now so we can receive blessings from God in this present life.  No, to me faith is a goal with the end result of going to heaven to be eternally with my savior.  Without faith there is no hope.  Here on this earth I am just a servant of God to do good, avoid evil and help others on their journey through this sin sick world.  Without faith it is impossible to please God.

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.

Good Morning,

It is the wise man who benefits from the mistakes of others.  One day soon it will be too late to have any gain or profit from those experiences of others and advice they have tried to give us.  The wise man Solomon in Proverbs 1.28-31 described wisdom saying, "then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.   Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of My counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.  Pride is the main reason that keeps us from listening to others and profiting from their experiences.  Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16.18.

From my reading of Gary Henry word points. Thanks for reading.

Good Morning,

Peace and quietness comes to all whose faith and trust is in the Lord.  Those who form a willing godly, repentive, obedient heart, seeking the Kingdom of God, have an inner peace that surpasses all understanding.  If we know and do all His commandments, Abide in His word, and His love, pray without ceasing, giving thanks for everything, 1 Thessalonians 5.17-18.  And in word and deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus being thankful through Him, Colossians 3.17.  Your light will shine brightly, and others will see your good works and glorify our Heavenly Father, Matthew 5.16.  And you will experience a true inner peace that can only come from living a quiet godly life.  "Be still and know that I am God."  Thus says the Lord.

Good Morning,

The Lord searches the heart and understands the all the intents of the thoughts.  God cannot be known as we know each other. but His character can be known by what He has revealed to us.  If we seek Him with a true heart and a willing mind He can be found by us.  But is we forsake Him we will be forever cast off.  God must be served; He must be obeyed. 1 Chronicles 28.9. we must choose to follow Him with an honest heart and a willing mind, not grudgingly, but with a pure heart and of our free will.  Let us repent and bow humbly before His throne and walk humbly with Him.  Allow Him to make His home in us.
