Being a fireman truly is a calling from God. Being able to be the man that makes a difference on peoples worst days and being the light that Jesus calls us to be, not just for the people we help but others in the firehouse as well.

The best calling though? Being able to come home and be the dad and husband that God has called me to be. Allowing the same love that Christ has for me to be the reflection back to my wife and kids.

God thank you for the little things even when I take things for granted sometimes. Be grateful and give thanks in every circumstance. For you are already ahead of me in every step.

Psalm 119:105 is the verse that hit me last night while going down the road. “Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” What does this mean?

In the times that David would’ve written this, when people traveled they would often travel through the night by direction of lamp light. As you all can probable gather lamp light doesn’t produce a whole lot of light especially in complete darkness.

Lamp light would often produce only enough light to see the very next step..Do you see where this is going? We all too often pray for guidance and direction and expect God to show us the full path or show us the full picture of where we are going and where He is taking us.

“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet”…a prayer that I don’t need to see the full path, the full picture, or even the full road..But rather God just show me the very next step and I will place my trust in You every single step of the way.

In your trials and circumstances that you pray over today..Don’t get overwhelmed by trying to see the full picture, but rather pray to God to be that lamp for your feet today.

One step at a time, He is guiding us to be more like Him and to the promise He has for you.

We all too often get so focused on our own circumstances, doubts, fears, temptations, etc. That we all too often forget who we belong to. Whose words do we praise? His. Where do we place our trust? In Him. Should we be afraid? Never when He is with us.

If you’re going through the fight remember that you are not alone. The enemy wants you to feel isolated but there are so many brothers and sisters in Christ who are there too fighting the same fight.

Remember to trust God at His word. He defeated death and rose again to give you life. So then the question stands…

Whom Shall I fear?

You are a child of God.

In a world focused on finding yourself and looking inward…The only way you will find peace is by outwardly looking to the One who can give you peace. By finding Christ you will find yourself.

Listened to a sermon from Josh Howerton with Lakepointe this morning and it hit me in more ways than one. The question of the whole sermon was, Are you an unsaved Christian?

The sermon revolved around Acts 8 where this man named Simon did all of the outward things of being labeled a Christian but was still living a sinful life of sorcery hoping to just add Jesus to the continuings of his sinful life.

The point of this post is, are you a Christian who sees yourself as being a Christian because you’re a “good person”?, or see yourself as a Christian just because you go to church and got baptized?

In the paraphrasing words of Josh going to church doesn’t make you anymore a Christian than going to Biscuitville makes you a biscuit. The only way you are a Christian is recognizing your need for a Savior.

We all are absolute wretched sinners who inherently do bad things and I’m right there with you all. I was a po*******hy addicted alcohol drinking drunkard who had a very lustful life style. But GOD sent His Son to pay the price of the very sins that I committed against Him.

Do I still struggle daily? Absolutely with many things such as anger and impatience at times, but the righteous man may fall several times, but then he rises (Proverbs 24:16).

So, I’m asking you today reading this post..Don’t wait, and allow the Holy Spirit to come in and change your life to follow Christ. It will be hard but I can promise you the reward will be eternally worthy of it all.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Do you feel like you’re not good enough or worthy enough to approach God or follow Christ?

“Where sin runs deep, Grace runs deeper”

Your past even current situations doesn’t define what God can do in your life. Just come Home.

I share this as part of my own struggles and humility that will maybe help others privately struggling.

As Christians I think many of us struggle with the thoughts of “why can’t that be me?” Or “Why isn’t God using me or blessing me with___?”. This can easily turn into bitterness or resentment that more times than not towards completely innocent folks out of our own pride and jealousy. Why does this happen? Well if we look it was the first sin where Lucifer thought he deserved something that he wasn’t called for and allowed pride and jealousy to overtake him to the point of pure blindness.

The way we fight back? By gratitude and understanding that we all have in-born missions that God has given us to carry out His purpose. That purpose may not be where you think it is, more times than not it’s in a place you never even dreamed of. I can guarantee though that His plan is infinitely better than we could’ve imagined.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

He will use you if you surrender, follow, humble yourself, and remain obedient to Christ. Many times this takes trial after trial to cleanse our hearts of our selfishness and pride which takes us to Psalms 51:10, “ God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

When you find yourself becoming jealous or envious of someone especially if it’s for the Kingdom…Check yourself and your motives and remember it’s not about you or me, but it’s about Jesus. Everything is for the betterment of the Kingdom and to spread the Grace and Love of Christ to everyone. It’s a free gift to all after all.

So if you are struggling remember you are not alone and we all are not perfect. This walk with Christ is a constant checking yourself and carrying your cross to become more like Him. It will never truly be fulfilled until the day He calls us home.

Love you all, and pray for me and I will pray for you all.

Man enough to admit I was a lustful, lying, selfish, flesh-feeding, and depressed person that never took into account how others felt..But I’m also man enough to admit that I’m a new creation in Jesus Christ and have laid my past at his feet.

Give your heart to Christ and see how your life can change for Him. He will change your heart.

You’ve heard it a thousand times. “God loves you” , and you nod “yeah…yeahh, He loves everybody.” Saying that has just become generic. It doesn’t truly move you. It doesn’t really make you wonder because somewhere along the way…It lost its meaning. Because privilege is invisible to those who have it.

But stop…Really stop and think.

God is all powerful and perfect. He can do whatever He wants, when He wants. He don’t have to create the universe because He doesn’t need it, but He did. Because it is in His nature to CREATE….out of LOVE.

“God has no other reason for creating that His love and goodness: creatures came into existence when the key of love opened His hand.” ~ St.Thomas Aquinas (A.D. 1263)

Have you ever considered the fact…that you didn’t have to exist? You are not a necessary part of creation. The sun doesn’t need you. The galaxies don’t depend on you. Heaven would still be perfect without you. Neither you nor I are essential…AND STILL, He put YOU in it.

So yeah…God loves you. But listen closely…You didn’t have to be here. There is only one reason why you ARE. Because the eternal God, outside of time, looked across the ages…saw your face…and said “ I do not want a universe without you in it.” That’s it.

That’s the gospel before the cross. That’s creation before Genesis. That’s love before light ever touched the deep. God does not want a universe without YOU in it. Read that again.

He could’ve made stars, seas, angels…and skipped you, but He didn’t. Not because you earned it. Not because you deserve it, but because He IS love, and chose you.

If that isn’t enough to consider think about Jesus coming to earth leaving His throne in Heaven for us. For Him to then suffer and pay the penalty of sin for us so that we may dwell with Him forever!

So no…”God loves you” isn’t cheap. It is not “cliche” it’s the most terrifying, wonderful, Holy thing ever spoken. You’re here for a reason. You have a God given purpose. Make it Count!

If being chosen by God to exist and Jesus dying for you to make a way for you isn’t the biggest example of love…then I don’t know what is.

God loves you, and don’t let yourself ever think otherwise.

He promised to always be with us, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
