“The Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭7‬:‭10b

Once a lightning bolt struck in front of Michelle’s house & blew me some 30 foot down the front porch & into some wicker furniture. I was dazed, confused, and in no condition to fight anybody. I wasn’t even sure if I had eyebrows left. If an enemy showed up then, I would’ve been done for. That’s what happened to the Philistines in 1 Samuel 7. Where there’s thunder, there’s lightning & as Samuel offered the sacrifice, God thundered against Israel’s enemies & threw them into confusion. Before Israel ever lifted a sword, God stepped in first. Some battles in life are like that. There are things only God can handle. There are situations no amount of strength, wisdom, money, or effort can fix & I definitely can’t fix every problem with my own strength. Faith is not weakness & after God moved, Israel got up & chased the Philistines. When God opens the door, we still have to walk through it. God fights for us, but we must move in faith when He makes the way. We all need Gods thunder sometimes & when He does, don’t stay laying in the wicker furniture. Get up & walk in the victory He provides.

“The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion in the streets.”” Proverbs 26:13

Have you ever caught yourself giving an excuse for not doing something that you know you should have done? I think we all have at one point! Would it hurt your feelings if I told you that excuses are a defining trait of laziness? That is exactly what this verse is teaching. Lazy people always have an excuse why they can’t do what they really can do. Sure there are times that we will not feel like doing a task or even not have enough time to get it all done. That is not what this is talking about. What it is talking about is when we make up some sort of excuse just to avoid doing something that we are able to, and should do. This is lazy! Don’t give excuses! Don’t be lazy! Love ya!

Sunday Recap

We celebrated 1 baptism! We also had the privilege of praying over a precious new baby Levi and his family as they dedicated this new season to the Lord.

We kicked off our brand new series, “In the Beginning,” walking through Genesis 1:1-5:

Genesis reminds us that before anything existed, God was already there… powerful, intentional, and bringing order out of chaos.

🙌God’s creation declares the Glory of God!🙌

Excited for what God is going to do through this series!

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.”
Proverbs 22:1

Life is full of choices! We make them every single day. Sometimes they are good, sometimes bad, but they are ours to make. The good thing is God gives us the bible to help us to make the best choices. In this verse we learn that choosing a good reputation, and having people who love you and care about you is far more valuable than having money and riches. It is not that money is bad, but it cannot bring what relationships and reputation can. So make the smart choice! People over profit, and reputation over riches. Love ya!
