Psalms 18:35-36 NLT
“You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.”

This is what He has done, all we need to do is turn to Him and trust fully that His way is best. He makes us prosper in this world by strengthening us and helping us see what is right. He knows this is not our home and He makes it possible to live here with joy and peace and with power and strength. Let go of ourselves and live the way He set up, just like His Son, Jesus. Then we won’t get caught in this world of traps and we will live in truth. Amen

Matthew 15:22-28 NLT
“A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.” But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!” Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.” She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.” “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.”

I love this set of verses! We need to have faith that leads us to not care when it happens, but we believe it will happen.

After she was ignored and was told He didn’t come for her, she worshiped Him. God loves us and sent His Son for us, that is all we need to know and then have faith in Him. Through Jesus we have eternal life. Even if we wait for a life time, we worship and give glory to Him, and live our lives to glorify the Father. We have received a gift that is eternal and it’s for our true home in heaven, we can’t get caught up in the worldly details. Seek and you will find, believe and live boldly showing how much you love God and Jesus will be the strength you need to listen to the Holy Spirit and shine.

Pleasing Him

2 Corinthians 5:9-10 NLT
“So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.”

The important thing we must see from these verses is that our goal is to please Him. Pleasing Him means we love Jesus and live like Him. We don’t shrink back and ride out our faith for ourselves. We build our relationship with Him and we start to live seeing others as our focus. Bold and confident, pleasing God by our believing in the one He sent, Jesus.

Pleasing God also means we believe and accept the purpose we all have to share truth and not be satisfied by the corruption in this world. His standard is our standard and nothing else. His values are the only moral way to live so we work on them so we can shine. It doesn’t mean that we let this world rule by the behaviors it wants, we have a set of values that we follow. We need to understand that we live in a country that is different and it was set up on Christian values so there is a standard to follow. We can’t make everyone choose Jesus but we can set up the moral values that started this country and keep that standard with people. Marriage, life, gender all other things that are Biblical we can keep as the standard and then in this country there is the freedom for other beliefs to dwell here as well. They just need to understand that the moral values aren’t going to change to fit their desires.

1 Chronicles 29:11 NLT
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.”

Important to understand because all different areas in the world will have different ideas and we use our God given talents to reach people for Jesus. Whatever the culture was set up with is how we work on reaching people for Jesus. China is different and we need a different approach. Europe is different and needs a different approach, America was set on Christian values and we keep that approach and we can’t let the world change all the values without being apart of it and being bold to please God.

It’s a perfect mix of not sitting back and letting things happen and not pushing to change everything in this culture, just the ones that line up with what God discusses. Marriage needs to line up with Gods ways - life needs to line up with Gods ways - gender needs to line up, it’s not hard to see what in culture is damaging to pleasing God.

Learn, live and help people see a loving God that sent His Son for all to have a chance to be home in our true eternal place.

Be Ready

Matthew 25:5-8 NLT
“When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!’ “All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’”

We don’t know when we only know that He is coming, the five foolish ones weren’t ready and had to leave, Don’t get caught needing because God has given us everything we need. Ask, seek, and knock and we will be ready. Pray, talk with and build up people with truth and we will be ready. Study and apply what you learn so we will be ready, nothing is better than a relationship with Him, He wants to know us and wants us to know Him.

Matthew 25:10-13 NLT
““But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’ “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.”

Again, the knowledge of who He was was there, they called Lord, Lord, we can’t let our belief be minimized by our love for this world and the feeling that I am good where I am at. Run to win Paul says, it’s worth being ready. Amen

Matthew 18:3-5 NLT
“Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.”

We need to stop trying to make our sins acceptable and turn from them. If we don’t and we let our feelings dictate what we believe and how we live, we won’t enter heaven when we die, there is only separation from God. We have been blessed to have a God who loves us all and we been blessed to live in a Country that believed that we could only succeed with Christian values set up by God. One nation under God, that is real and until we set our standards back on that, this country will keep falling. It’s not about which party is right, it’s regrouping and turning from all this sin we are pushing as truth.

Matthew 18:7 NLT
““What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.”

There is a moral truth that we should understand and right now we are choosing to be blind to it because we are foolish. God made them male and female, yet we have made it possible to have over 100 genders.

When we allow this to keep happening we will keep reaping what we sow, insanity. Right and wrong doesn’t matter because if the political party you affiliate with makes you believe wrong for their benefit, people believe it. Both sides does this and that’s why there is one truth, Gods truth and it’s the only way to function as this amazing country that is slipping fast. We need to open our hearts and get back to truth. Amen

Matthew 20:31-34 NLT
““Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!” Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.”

This is the part we neglect, our part. Jesus came to serve and lay His life down for all, we just need to want Him. They wanted Him and they weren’t afraid to let people know. Don’t wait any longer, today choose Him, desire Him and be free. Confess that you are a sinner, repent of your sins and accept Jesus as Lord, shout out I need you. Then surrender your will and lay your life down for Him. We have to die to self and live like Him, a true Christian, Christ-like. Amen
