My Momma, Granny, and I went to a nearby city this week to take my Granny to an eye appointment. As we were getting ready to go, I said to them, “It is amazing isn’t it, that God already sees what time we get back and what we eat for lunch.” They both agreed. On the way there, as I was driving I noticed my Momma on her phone, busy finishing up gifts for Christmas and my Granny in the backseat was looking out the window enjoying the scenery. I […]
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year and still they stand tall and wait for better days to come.” After waking up to snow yesterday morning and more this morning, I was reminded of this quote a dear praying friend had sent me. I looked out at all the beautiful snow that covered the trees. Just a short while ago these trees stood with bright green leaves before the temperature dropped. Once temperatures start dropping the leaves change color, start withering, and […]
From a broken heart of faith spoken with a whisper as tears are wiped away…God is good.God is good, when life doesn’t go like we wish it would. He’ll always be what He’s always been that’s understood…and always, always, always GOD IS GOOD.Standing in the darkness though fear is what they feel they testify to a faith-it’s SETTLED and it’s REAL.When calm turns into chaos, PEACE is stronger than the pain knowing they are held by a God who doesn’t change.. this simple truth still remains… GOD IS GOOD. God […]
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: […]
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18 The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. Psalm 135:6 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:14 For […]
But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 1 John 3:17 He answered and said to them, “He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.” Luke 3:11 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” So He said to him, “Why do […]
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:22-33 And He answered and said unto them, Have […]
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. Numbers 30:2 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. James 5:12 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. […]
I went fishing one evening with my Daddy this week. Fog started to settle on the water right before dark. It was the middle of the week so we only seen about two or three other boats out on the water. It was so calm and peaceful. I could hear the owls hooting (I love owls), I heard some fish jumping, and watched the bats dart down towards the light of the boat. As it grew darker we kept making our way to different locations to fish. By the light […]
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, […]
