Hello Everyone,
When little Jimmy returned home from summer camp, his parents asked him if he had been homesick. He replied, "Not me, but some of the kids were who had dogs."
Everyone likes to think that they are important, needed or at least missed. When a friend of mine would leave for a period of time, his first remarks upon coming back is to ask if I missed him. I would always tell him that I did not know that he was gone. Folks need to feel that others love them and care. Of course the opposite of that is true as well, to be loved one must love. Caring goes both ways also. To be loved and cared for, one must be both loving and caring to others. That is why I find myself missing Jesus. For there has never been anyone that care so much for you and me.
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:6,7

Trust God
Hello Everyone,
A few back I witness a man carving a large piece of wood with a chain saw. Boy could he make the chips fly. One could tell that was not his first time of carving with a chain saw. While he was carving there was no way you could tell what it was at first. He would a make a cut here and then another cut. Each cut would hold your imagination to what would be the end result. Then all of the sudden as if out of no where there appeared a bear. Thus man knew what he was doing and he was good at it.
God does the same with His creations. One may not be able to tell what the end result would be but God knows. God knows what He is doing and He is good at it. Trust God.
"But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." Psalms 73:28

Tribulations
Hello Everyone,
A dear friend of mine has about five bee hives and he shared with me that the queen lays each egg in a six-sided cell which is filled with enough pollen and honey for the little bees to feed upon until it reaches a certain stage of maturity. The top is then sealed with wax. When the little bees have exhausted its supply of nourishment, the little fellow has to make its way out. But in doing so to get through that wax seal, the opening is so narrow that in the agony of exit, the bee rubs off the membrane that encases its wings. That is why they can fly right soon after.
Now listen, everyone wants life to be easy with no hardships. One must have these to build power to go through the next valleys. Each difficultity is to make you stronger for what lies ahead.
"Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." Acts 14:22

No Snakes
Hello Everyone,
I was talking with a man who had a Border Collie dog. That was one smart dog. He shared with me what all that dog was doing. He would bring the cows in to milk. He watched very carefully over the children getting on and off the school bus and he was always at his side when he was out in the fields working. But the one thing that he was proud of the most about that dog was he kept all snakes away from the house. His wife and kids were terrified of snakes. As long as that dog was around no snake made it into the yard.
"Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them." Nehemiah 4:9

We are just Sheep
Hello Everyone,
A lady visiting the Holy Land once came upon a sheepfold located high on a hilltop. Her attention was drawn to one poor sheep lying by the side of the road bleating in pain. Looking more closely, she discovered that its leg was injured. She asked the shepherd how it happened. "I had to break it myself," he answered sadly. "It was the only way I could keep that wayward creature from straying into unsafe places. From past experience I have found that a sheep will follow me once I have nursed it back to health. Because of the loving relationship that will be established as I care for her, in the future she will come instantly at my beck and call."
Sometimes we poor human sheep also want our stubborn ways and as a result stray into dangerous paths until the Good Shepherd may have to send sorrow and pain on us. Which brings a sweeter and closer communion with our Savior. Let me ask, is this the only time the Lord can get your attention?
"My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." Proverbs 3:11,12

Stay Faithful
Hello Everyone,
Sometimes new, younger, succeeding generations of people can toss away something that's very valuable without realizing its worth. Take church attendance, for example. Sometimes we avoid or discard the very thing we need the most. During challenging times, it's vital for us to stay connected to a healthy Bible preaching, teaching Church where we can be encouraged, nurtured, and helped. Let's not forsake the assembling of ourselves together. The Church is a great place to serve, learn, to fellowship, to bring our unsaved friends, it is the place to tithe, hear the Word of God and get away from the world for a few hours each week.
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25

Blunders
Hello Everyone,
There is a well-known brand of soap that has two uncommon qualities. It's known as "the soap which floats" and is the oldest of the best-sellers. But it wasn't always that way. Years ago this soap was just another brand among many. Then a factory foreman blundered by leaving a batch of new soap unwatched in the cooking vat during noon hour. His lunch was delayed and the soap overcooked. Rather than report the mistake and run the risk of dismissal, the foreman decided to make the best of it. He shipped out this new batch anyway. It seemed to clean just as well -- although now much lighter. The results surprised everyone. Rather than complaints the company was deluged with orders for this floating soap. The foreman was not fired but promoted when he cooperated with company chemists to revise and modify the old formula for "the soap that floats."
Blessings sometimes come from blunders. It's often possible to make something better out of something bad. That's the way God works with us. We don't often do right the first time, but He's always ready to salvage the situation no matter how bad we make it.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Compensation
Hello Everyone,
There are some men and women whose names everyone would recognize as brilliant in their fields, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Helen Keller, Winston Churchill, Albert Schweitzer and more. But did you know that three fourths of these men and women were troubled either by poverty, by a broken home, or by rejecting, overpossessive, or dominating parents? Physical handicaps such as blindness, deafness, or crippled limbs characterized over one-fourth of these men and women.
So how did these people go on, then, to such outstanding accomplishments? Most likely by compensation. They compensated for their weaknesses in one area by excelling in another.
"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Never surrender
Hello Everyone,
General George Patton was a man who believed strongly that a well disciplined soldier would not only win the war, but would reach new heights of achievement. He said that to be a good soldier, a man must have discipline, self respect, pride in his unit and in his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to his comrades and his superiors, and self confidence born of demonstrated ability. When the great day of battle comes, remember your training, and remember above all that speed and vigor of attack are the sure roads to success. And you must succeed, for to retreat is as cowardly as it is fatal. Americans do not "surrender!" It was the only time throughout World War II that Patton used the word, "surrender" in any of his orders to his troops.
Same applies to Christians, we must not surrender to the devil and his devices. We are on the winning side.
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." 1 John 5:4

God Can
Hello Everyone,
Have you ever thought that God can do all things? One dear brother shares with folks that there are three things that God can not do. 1) God can not lie. 2) God can not change. 3) God can not let you into heaven with out being Born Again.
Now think with me God could have kept Daniel out of the lions' den, he could have kept Paul and Silas out of jail, he could have kept the three Hebrew children out of the fiery furnace. But God has never promised to keep us out of hard places. What he has promised is to go with us and that is brings you an I victory.

Wax Worse
Hello Everyone,
Someone once said, Bad is called good when worse happens. Some of our good old days seem so good to us now, but when we were going through them it did not seem very good. I remember being without a job and low in hope of finding one. Yet God had gotten me through it. What scares me now is that what we are calling bad and rough times now, will we be calling them the good old days?
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"

Did you see my Bible
Hello Everyone,
A few years back, I remember being in a hurry to get to church, we were running a little late. And I walked out of the house without my Bible. I asked my son to go into the house and see if my Bible was laying on the kitchen table. Off he went as fast as his little legs could carry him. "Bam" he threw open the door went in and came back just as fast, but he did not have my Bible with him. He got into the van and started to buckle up. I asked him, "Did you see my Bible on the kitchen table?" He said, "Yes, it is there." We just looked at each other and I asked why he didn't bring it to me. "Because I only asked him to see if my Bible was on the kitchen table in the house, I didn't say anything about bring it to me." We all a good laugh as I went and retrieve my Bible. I shall be more careful the next time of how I ask and what I am to ask for.
The same may need to be applied to our prayer requests to God. We may a need to be more careful the next time of how I ask and what I am to ask for.

No Fishing
Hello Everyone,
Just down the road is pond that has a sign that says "NO FISHING - PLEASE DON'T ASK." That remided me of when God forgave us of all our sins. The Bible says He put then in the deepest sea, I suppose then that God would place a sign that says "NO FISHING."
I was talking one time to a young man that ask me to pray for him about something that was sin. I told I could not ask God to bless his sin. I can imagine God placing a sign out saying, "NO FISHING - PLEASE DON"T ASK!"
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." Micah 7:18-19

Heart of the Problem
Hello Everyone,
If anything goes wrong in the home it is the responsibility of the wives. So if his shirt collar is not clean it is her fault! You have heard about the ring around the collar. She then tries everything to get that collar clean and nothing works. My wife told me he just needs to do a better job of washing his neck. Hey that seems to simple. Plus it goes right to the heart of the problem, amen!
God's Word tells the same thing. It is simple and gets right to the heart of the problem. Sin! For all have sinned. Because all have sinned, all have to be saved. That is where Jesus comes in. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That ought to be simple enough.
"...Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:30-31

Name Changes
Hello Everyone,
Here is something for you to think about. The Bible speaks of name changes. Saul was changed to Paul. Simon to Cephas. Levi to Matthew,
Jacob to Israel. What is important is that names mean something. David
means beloved, Noah means rest. Paul means little, John means gift from
God, Daniel means judge of God. The Bible also tell us that a white stone will be given to you with a new name written, which no man will know except he that received it.
Hmmm.... Now we would all like to think of what our new name
would be pleasing and God honoring. But there is 3 things to consider:
a) What you would want and like to be called. b) What will others call
you. c) What will God call you. You see truthfully you and God are the
only ones that really know what your new name would be. And then we have
a habit of lying to ourselves, but God will not. My questions to you
would be, What new name would you like to be called? Then are you really
living up to that new name? Hmmmm...
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Revelation 2:17
