The Fixer?

A lot of us probably know people who try to be fixers. Some are probably family members, friends, or co workers.They try to fix everything. Marriages that are in trouble, relationships, financial problems all kinds of things.When they can’t fix them they sometime get upset and I have heard some say why can’t I fix this?. You see when we try to do what is Gods work that is when we get in trouble. No we can’t fix everything. We need to turn to God for He is the great fixer. We can pray for God to fix the problems of our family friends and others,  but they have to ask for Gods help also…Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Which Way?

As we travel down life’s highway, we have the choice to either take the straight and narrow that will lead us to heaven. Or we can head down the super Highway that leads to total destruction. It seems more and more people are opting to take the super highway. It seems to be easier to travel on than the narrow one, but sooner or later it will come to an end and there will never be another one. We need to be sure we are going in the right direction on the right highway so we can be sure to reach our destination..Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at:

The Visit

I often wonder what would happen if we were visited by someone that was shabby dressed and maybe dirty and nasty looking?. Would we turn them away or try to provide them with a friendly visit. They might ask for food, or drink, or even money. I wonder what our reaction would be? What if we turned them away and later found out we had turned away  Jesus?. We never know who will visit. Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

The Sure Hope

We hope for a lot of things. I hope for a beautiful day today, I hope my favorite ball team wins, I hope I’ll make more money soon. We hope for many things, and we find ourselves disappointed by unfulfilled hopes at times. There is one hope that is a sure thing. It begins with waiting on and trusting God. There are probably times when God just wants to say , Sit down and listen will you? A little patience please!. Does God hear us when we reel off our requests as we run out the door in the morning? Of course He does . Problem is we don’t always wait on His reply..Psalm 40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Time?

We have all probably heard where did all the time go? It seems  the older we get the faster time goes. We are living in such a fast paced world that even the younger people are having a hard time keeping up. There seems to be so much to do. I know to many who have quit making time for God, family and church. It is just work, run, sports, play, everything except God. There is certainly nothing wrong with recreation, or work we all have to work, and a little play time is good for the soul. But we sure had better make time for God and family and church. Or we may wind up wondering where time went when Jesus comes back..Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.:27 And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Ever Time Something Fresh

A very good message in this story.- Old John was a man of God and loved his village chapel. One day he was stopped by an acquaintance, who, by the way, was an ardent angler. “I say, John,” said the angler, “I have often wondered what attraction there is up at the village chapel. You go week after week to the same old chapel, see the same folks, sing the same old hymns.” “Wait a minute,” interrupted John. “You fish very often at the same spot, and in the same water, do you not?” “Yes, that’s true,” agreed the other. John smiled, and then exclaimed: “Well, you do not, for the water you fished in yesterday has passed on to the sea; and every time I go up to the chapel the Lord has something fresh for me.” –[Sunday School Times]

No Separation?

Is there any power that can turn our Lord’s heart away from us? Could anything in the heavens above or our own lives, cause the Lord to say, I no longer love that one. Take him away from me. The resounding answer is “No, nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus our Lord” [Romans 8:39]..nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Our Lords unending love give us great strength , even in the face of devastating trials. His presence makes the hard experiences of life’s events through which we must pass more bearable; and these events are not threats to everlasting life we have in Him..Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

The Promise

Promises are easy made but sometimes hard to keep. We promise all kind of things, but sadly human promises are not always kept which can lead to all kinds of problems. Gods promises are different, we find one in Acts 1:4 that is from Jesus Himself, Creator of the universe and now resurrected Savior. What was this promise? He promised His disciples that they didn’t have to go through life alone. He promised He would send the Holy Spirit to equip them for their task. Did He deliver absolutely. We can be comforted in knowing that He will keep every other promise the Scriptures contain and there are many…Act 1:4 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me:

What Can We Count On?

There is not many people are things we can count on these days. We can’t count on many politicians, very few doctors, not to many friends especially when it comes to money. Even some religious leaders may let us down.  The lust of the world, money, and other things come before what is really important. Love for one another and love for Jesus. Also the promise of eternal salvation. That is something we can all be sure of and count on..Ephesians 5:2 and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

Gods Word Is Forever

Many of the things around us grow older and loose their usefulness. And we aren’t very old before we realize how fragile and how brief our own lives are. Where can we find stability and lasting truth? We can find it in Gods unchanging Word. His Word will remain though all else may fail./ There will never be a time when we cannot put our total faith in His Word. I don’t know where I would be without Gods Word. What about you?….The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:8
