Hello Everyone,
There have been times that I have decided that doing nothing is best and it has proved to be the right decision. Sometimes the decision to do nothing is wise. But you can't make a career of doing nothing. Doing nothing is laziness and selfish. I know of many folks who try to weighed out every decision so carefully that in most cases they never do anything. If you decide to fish -- fine. Or, if you decide to cut bait -- fine. But if you decide to do nothing, you're not going to have fish for dinner.
We are living in the days where we are in need of folks to decide to follow God and that is the right decision.
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word." 1 Kings 18:21
Remember Always, "God does all things well."
Until Jesus Comes

Lap Needed
Hello Everyone,
I was told of a story of a man who was tired of reading bedtime stories to his little daughter. One day he decided to record several of her favorite stories on tape. He told her, "Now you can hear your stories anytime you want. Isn't that great?" She looked at the machine for a moment and then replied, "No. It hasn't got a lap." There is no greater feeling than to have your little ones sitting in your laps. We all need the closeness of relationship. We all need to know we are loved.
"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love" John 15:9

Possessions
Hello Everyone,
My grandpa kept humming bird feeders out on his front porch. You couls sit out there and in a very few minutes a humming bird would come by. It was exciting to see the only bird that God made that can fly backwards. I remember grandpa making a big deal about keeping the feeder filled up. These little fellows needed food all the time. I remember him sharing that at times the male humming bird would get territorial. He would claim that feeder as his and run all the other humming birds off. Which kept him quiet busy.
I got to thinking about my grandpa and him sharing this with me and realized that the Lord was teaching us a needed scriptural lesson. The male humming bird was the soul possession of that feeder. But what he lost was his freedom. He is no longer free to come and go as he wished. He is tied to the work of guarding his feeder. He was possessed by his possession.
"But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3:17,18
