“The God of the prophets lives, and lives to help His saints. He will not suffer thee to lack any good thing. “

The axe-head seemed hopelessly lost, and as it was borrowed, the honour of the prophetic band was likely to be imperilled, and so the name of their God to be

Harriett Student Life has been going to the tour of lights in San Angelo for over a decade! A tradition started by their beloved youth leader. A last hurrah, so to speak, after finals and before Christmas Break. Stay safe Harriett, we’ll see you next year. Enjoy your family, and Celebrate Jesus!

There’s just a couple of Wednesdays left before the Christmas break, so hot chocolate and all the fixin’s were in order tonight. A small service project and the reading of the Christmas story from Luke Chapter 2.

It’s no secret that growing pains are seldom(never)fun. Learning to serve, in the little things;unseen things, continues to be the pace we keep around here and tonight our students did just that. There were no stage lights(not that those are bad things) or applause. Just a chance to serve, to give and to shine light on Jesus-who is, of course, the actual light:)!
It’s showing me that there is,in this small group of students a really big heart! I’ve been amazed at their faithfulness to show up week after week, just a small group gathering to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus and reminding eachother of the goodness of God. We’re learning together! We’re learning to worship and pray and ultimately to trust God together-real fellowship.
Ive been amazed at theses students willingness to gather around the piano while i muddle through worship. Personally, it’s worth it, to hear their voices worship God. It truly is! God continues to do a work here, in us and through us, and also, in spite of us, and im most thankful😁 for that🙌🏼

God “allows” many things. MANY. Some things are good, and God honoring. Some are bad, sinful and just messed up.

But for the follower of Christ, It’s less about what God allows and more about the freedom to choose.

In the OT Joshua tells Israel, “… fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness…and serve the LORD.”(Joshua 24:14

He goes on to say,
“Choose you this day, whom you will serve…”
“As for me and my house we
Will serve the Lord”(Joshua 24:15)

He urged them to serve God and let them know, it was to be his and his family’s pursuit to serve God.
To say that God allowed this or that may sound holy, but it’s actually weak and arrogant. If things go well, we can give God glory,if things don’t we can blame God. If we want to obey-God gets the cred, but if obedience seems to coslty, we can blame God for not obeying, because God didn’t allow it.

God calls us to choose. He gives us the freedom to decide to be stretched and grow…or not. Daily, we get to choose. Choosing to be kind, to love, to persevere, to be generous, to forgive, to sacrifice, etc. the list is endless really.

Instead of randomly thanking God for allowing us to do this thing or that. How about thanking him for giving us the freedom to choose and the power, in Christ to honor him with those choices, proving that we belong to him.

Jesus says,
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

To know what Jesus specifically talking about here, go back and read Matthew 5-7

God allowing things is an excuse.
God calling us to choose
Is love. One costs us more than the other.
What will you choose?
