                                         "God Is At Work"
Good morning friends,
Please read Philippians 2:12-18

It is God who works
in you both to will
and to do for His good pleasure.  Philippians 2:13

We always crave change in a new year. This is why on January 1 we start new diets, exercise programs, and new hobbies. Of course, a month later we're usually back to our old bad habits. Maybe that's because we crave too big a change and do not have enough power and will to make the changes. I wonder how many Jesus-followers have made commitments to change and grow spiritually but are experiencing frustration because they don't have the will and power to carry out those steps. Paul addresses this issue in his letter to the Philippians. As he encouraged them to work out their salvation with fear and trrembling (Philippians 2:12). Paul said they would not be on their own. God Himself would energize them to grow and carry out His tasks.He was also working to give them the power to make the actual changes (Philippians 2:13). God has not left us alone in our struggles to attain spiritual growth. He helps us to want to obey Him, and then He gives us the power to do what He wants. Ask Him to help you to do His will.

Every day more like my Savior,
Every day my will resign,
Until at last Christ reigns supremely
In this grateful heart of mine.

Behold, the kingdom of God
is within you. Luke 17:21

The power that compels us comes from
the Spirit who dwells within us.

God bless.

                                              "Punxsutawney Phil"

Good morning friends,
How would you like to be stuck with a name like our character in todays story? Now that's a mouth full! Punxsutawney Phil is a groundhog that comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob, Pennsylvania, each February 2 to predict the weather. You know the story and you also know that this is all humbug and good humor. Nobody takes his predictions seriously because he's more than often wrong and not accurate. There is One, however, who is always right and whom we must take seriously.There is One who is never wrong and who will never lead us astray: our Lord Jesus. We must hear Him! Please read 2 Peter 1:16-21

We have the prophetic word confirmed,
which you do well to heed.  2 Peter 1:19

Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.  Matthew 4:4

At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in Heaven we'll crown Him
When our journey is complete.

In a world full of speculation,
only God's Word is certain.

God Bless.

                                                 "A Refresher Course on God's Majesty"

 Good morning friends,
Please read Exodus 33:1-11

You cannot see My face;
for no man shall see
Me, and live.  Exodus 33:20

There is a book called, Disappointment With God, it explores three questions many Christians ask:Is God hidden? Is God silent? Is God unfair? Those questions did not trouble the Jews in the Sinai wilderness. They saw evidence of God everyday, heard Him speak, and lived under a contract signed in His own hand. Out of this relationship emerged a great gift from the Jews to the world: monotheism; the belief in one sovereign holy God. As God's children, we learn to reverence, obey, and thank God; to express appropriate sorrow for sin; to pusue a quietness in which we might hear God whisper. As God's children, we may "come boldly to the throne of grace" (Hebrew 4:16). But let us ever be mindful of our Father's inestimable majesty.

To worship is to recognize
the supreme worth of God.

God is a Spirit; and
they that worship Him
must worship Him in
spirit and in truth.

God Bless.
Miss Kitty

And thou shal't mount thine saddle to seek the striped line.  And it shall be good.  In the early day and before the twilight the quartering sun shall cast the shadow spirit beside you and his name shall be friend.  If one follows him it is to seek majesty.

I don't get credit for the photo Kitty.  It came from another site member here.  It is, however, two wheeled majesty.

                                           "The Great Storyteller"
 Good morning friends,
Please read Luke 15:11-24

Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables;
and without a parable he did not speak
to them. Matthew 13:34

In his book "Teacher Man", Pulitzer Prize-winner Frank McCourt reflects on his 30 years as a teacher in New York City high schools. He used a variety of techniques in his English and creative writing classes, but one that seemed to surface again and again was the power of a compelling story to capture attention and encourage learning. This method of instruction was used by the greatest Teacher of all, the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus addressed the crowds that followed Him, he spoke with the homespun style of a storyteller. The parables of Jesus endure because they showcase matters of the heart. Through the story of the Pharisee and tax collector (Luke 18), we learn about God's grace and forgiveness. And the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15) showcases God's love for repentant sinners. The inspired parables of Jesus teach us about Him and the life He wants us to lead. We too can use our faith-stories to point others to the ultimate Storyteller and Teacher, whose own life is the greatest story ever told.

Take control of my words today,
May they tell of Your great love;
And may the story of Your grace
Turn some heart to You above.

A good way to learn God's truth
is to teach it to others.

God Bless.

                                                      "The Search for Peace"

Good morning friends,
Please read Philippians 4:4-12

The peace of God,
which surpasses all
understanding, will
guard your hearts
and minds.  Philippians 4:7

In his song "I'm So Tired," John Lennon expressed the emptiness of his "successful" and wealthy life with these profound words: "I'd give you everything I got for a little peace of mind." All that he had, all that he had accomplished, and all that he had become could not meet this simple, yet deep, personal need. The world we live in cannot offer peace. It offers poor options. Pleasure, power, and possessions are no substitute for peace of heart and mind. Paul reminded the believers at Philippi, "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7). This is the peace  God brings to those who have been reconciled to God by faith in His Son Jesus (Ephesians 2:14-16). It is a peace we are to share with a world that is desperate for it. Peace, real peace, is found only in a relationship with Jesus.

Peace I leave with you,
My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives
do I give to you.

Be perfect, be of good comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace;
and the God of love and peace
shall be with you.  II Corinthians 13:11

Have a blessed day!

                                                     "Rise Up!"

  Good morning friends,
Please read John 20:11-8, 19, 20.

You, being dead in your trespasses,....
He has made alive together with Him.  Colossians 2:13

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion caused many of His followers to despair. The disciples themselves had lost hope. But their despondency evaporated on that first Easter morning when they found that the stone sealing the tomb had been moved aside (John 20:1). Jesus had risen! Perhaps your world has crashed around you. It may be a deeply personal loss, a tragedy in your family, or some other great trial. Jesus' resurrection proved that He is greater than the greatest obstacles. He can rebuild your life, as He did with His disciples, starting today.

  He rose! And with Him hope arose, and life and light.
  Men said, "Not Christ, but Death, died yesternight."
  And joy and truth and all things virtuous
  Rose when He rose.

  In the world ye shall have tribulation:
  But be of good cheer; I have overcome
  the world. John 16:33

  God can turn any difficulty into an opportunity.

  God Bless.
