1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believe that that Jesus is the Son of God?
You'll never have a problem-free life. Ever. You'll never drift off to sleep on the wings of this thought: My, today came and went with no problems in the world. This headline will never appear in the paper: We have only good news to report.
You might be elected as president of a Japan. You might discover a way to email pizza and become a billionaire. You might be called out of the stands to pinch-hit when your team is down to its final out of the World Series, hit a home run, and have your face appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
It's not likely. But it's possible. But a problem free, no hassle, blue sky existence of smooth sailing? Don't hold your breath.
Problems happen. They happen to rich people, sexy people, educated people, sophisticated people. They happen to retired people, single people, spiritual people, and secular people.

But not all people see problems the same way. Some people are overcome by problems. Others are left better. Some people face their challenges with fear. Others with faith.
You don't have a choice about having problems. But you do have a choice about what you do with them. "CHOOSE FAITH"!!!!
God, thank you for bearing with me though my problems. In Jesus Name Amen!!!

Note: Jesus never promised that obeying him would be easy. But the hard work and self discipline of serving Christ is no burden to those who love him. And if our load starts to feel heavy, we can always trust Christ to help us bear it.

Let the glory of My presence permeate every fiber of your being. I will fill you with love and peace. I will strengthen and heal you. I will lift you high above the darkness into My glorious light where your soul and spirit can thrive. Come! Come and be one with Me. John 17:22-23 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."
Lord help us today. We need You in Your land, to better us in this TROUBLED TIMES. Help us enify in Your spirit, avoid gossip, build others up, work together in humility and refusing to get sidetrack arguing over divisive matters. IN JESUS' NAME AMEN !

Note: We can be with one another. Jesus prayed for unity among the believers unity with him and the Father. If Christian join together as true Christian today , it would make a difference. For example, each branch living in union with the vine is united with all other branches doing the same.
Remember to give thanks to the Lord for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 118:1 Remembering God's provision from yesterday gives hope for today and strength for tomorrow! GOD WILL PROVIDE!

We should have true unity among ourselves today, in a wicked and trouble world, to overcome to the devil.

When you are feeling depressed and alone, know that God is still good and He is working things out for your good. I know it's easier said than done, but I'm confident that you have what it takes on the inside to deal with all the hell on the outside. When people wrote you off, God kept on writing and look at you now. 'Ain't God good?' Anytime you have the right up-look (God) that's partnered with the right outlook, you'll get the right outcome.
Psalm says, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Your relationship with God and what He thinks of you is more important than what man thinks. God's love is more powerful. Don't allow people and/or things to stand in the way of where God's trying to take you. Because of God's goodness, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Ain't God good? Amen!

Note: God is good, yet holy and just. We must respect and fear Him. This holy fear helps us know Him deeply. He loves us like a good father. Because He loves us, He disciplines us to guide us back to His path and make us strong.

"Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7)
Look at your hands. Touch the ground outside. You are made of the very same dust. To the human mind, dust is nothing. It is weak, easily blown away, and ignored. We often feel like dust when life breaks us down. We feel ordinary, fragile, and small.
Yet, God did not leave the dust on the ground. He knelt close. He scooped the dirt in His hands. With tender care, He shaped a masterpiece.
Still, the form was quiet and still. It needed more than shape. It needed life. So, God leaned in close. He breathed His own breath into the silent form. The lungs filled. The heart beat. The eyes opened.
You are more than dirt. You carry the breath of Almighty God inside you. Your physical body is humble, but your source is holy. When you feel weak, remember you are dust in the hands of a Creator who knows how to breathe life into dry places.
Preceptor Mack,

Dear God, thank you for making us from the dust of the earth. You breathed life into our clay. You gave us a living soul and great worth. Help us remember our humble start. Keep us close to your heart today. Amen!

Have A Bless Weekend, Remember God Love You!
