Who is teaching you, leading you, and changing you daily? Matthew 11:29 tells us who we should be attached to throughout our day, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me...and you will find rest for your souls". As Christians this isn't an option but a requirement to attach yourself to Christ, walk beside Him, and learn how to live! The "yoke" is used to control, direct, and drive animals where you want them to go and do the work you have planned. Christ came to earth in a gentle and humble way, to show us how to live, to provide directions, and to save us from our sins. He experienced pain, suffering, and difficulties but kept God as his focus and strength. He provides us with His word and the Holy Spirit as our guide, so that we can commit to Him and be under His authority to do the work He has planned for us. This becomes the sticky point for us, we want to also do our own things. He gives us the ability to choose but notice the last part of this verse, "you will find rest for your souls". We follow Jesus and do what we are created for we have rest and peace but if we follow the world and our selfish desires we have chaos and no rest. Living for Christ will make you stand out in a crowd, look different in your community, and you will see things completely different from the majority of people around you. The Holy Spirit will convict you to speak up against sin you see and encounter, to stand up and educate others on how God sees and does things, and set the Christian lifestyle and example for others. It's impossible to live for Christ and blend in with the world we live in. The two are completely opposite. But, He gives us all we need to be like Him! Share your story and enjoy the blessings and rest He gives!

God recorded the sins of His people for us to read because He loves us...1 Corinthians 10:11 says, "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us". God's love and His desire for us to live a rich life focusing on Him is why He gives us so many examples to learn from in His word. He uses sinners to set positive examples but He also shows us the consequences of disobedience. We're taught from an early age, if we don't learn from our mistakes and history we will repeat them. We read about the Israelites, His chosen people, and they're wandering, their grumbling, their disobedience, and the consequences. The sad part of their story is we're still guilty of the same stuff; wanting more, never satisfied, blaming God, and creating things we worship to much. The blessing for our times is God sent His Son as the ultimate example and sacrifice! We can accept God's gift and become His children but we must follow, obey, and glorify God. When, not if, we sin there are consequences. We must repent and will be forgiven but there will be consequences. People accomplish great things but the success is always from God not our own strength and ability. He gives us everything so we can glorify Him and not take the credit for ourselves. Do you see and learn from the examples He provides and acknowledge the people he puts in your life to fulfill His plans and make us more Christ-like? Each day is an opportunity to shine for Christ and share His light with others. Don't allow your past to hold you back. God is for you, He loves you, and He provides all you need. Have a blessed weekend.

Psalm 67:1 is such a great reminder of what God does for us but then we must ask ourselves why..."May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine on us". God's love for us, His creation, is the reason for His grace, His mercy, and His blessings to us. These are His promises to us as believers and followers of Christ. It's very humbling to acknowledge and understand, only through Him do we accomplish and have all the things in our life. I thank God daily for His grace, mercy, and blessings to myself, my family, and fellow believers. To think about His delight and approval of His children and His face shining on us reminded me of how we delighted in the Grandsons this weekend. His grace, mercy, blessings, and His approval is only possible through Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He sees our righteousness because of the debt Jesus Christ paid for each of us on the cross. Why does God do so much for us, for a couple very simple reasons, so we can glorify Him and share all He has and is doing. The gracious acts and the blessings are not done so we can hord them, covet them, or keep them hidden but to share and allow others to be blessed. His face shines on us so we can shine on others. Share your light this week and you will be blessed, it's guaranteed in God's word!

A clear and sober reminder in Revelation 20:15 reminds us of the most important decision we will ever make, "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire". Last night, we heard a lady share her testimony and she said I found Jesus! It reminded me of when I found Him, believed Him, accepted Him, and began following and obeying Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the spring of 1988. The most important decision I ever made. Each person must make this same decision to have your name included in the Book of Life. God keeps a detailed record of everything we do but when we accept Christ we become a child of God and His shed blood brings forgiveness. I love to hear people share they accepted Christ and their life was changed forever! God's word tells us it's impossible to accept, obey, and follow Jesus Christ without changing who we are. We are spiritually alive and we see the world through a very different lens. We have the Holy Spirit guiding and directing us each day. We're able to shout for joy to God, sing His praises, and have peace each and every day knowing our Lord loves us, provides for us, and has our eternal Home waiting for us! Praise God! Does your Heavenly Father know your name and is it written in His book? There must be no doubt and your lifestyle will reflect your answer! We're never going to be perfect but we must know and obey Him! Share your time when you found Him, it might help others find Him and change their life forever! Have a blessed weekend...

One of my favorite go to verses is Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." As Christians, we are to provide light in this dark world. This light only gets brighter by daily studying and applying God's word to our lives, praying and thanking God for all He has done for us, and believing all the promises He has made to us. Some days are hard, frustrating, and can get us down if we take our eyes off the Lord. These are the times I'm reminded of this verse and I just ask God for some more light. It's amazing how many times He puts a brighter light in my path to help me see the positive things all around me. We make choices all day long about focusing on positive or negative things, praising or complaining, and smiling or frowning. God's desire is for us to live a blessed life and to glorify Him which doesn't mean we will not have rough times but He promises to be with us and carries us through them. Timothy Keller said, "when we turn from God's moral truths the results are moral and spiritual chaos". The key to peaceful living is not to turn and choose to be obedient. People see our light and want some and we have an opportunity to share what makes us shine...and it's not our own doing. The more lights that shine the brighter the community and city and the more pleasant it is for all. Don't allow darkness to take over your world! God has the answer, He has the switch, and He controls the power but His desire is to give it all to us but we must ask and believe... Have a blessed week.

How do we use scripture in our daily lives? In 2 Timothy 3:16, Paul gives us four areas to focus on and apply God's word..."All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness". First we have to truly believe humans wrote it but the source of all Scripture came from God. We may not understand it all but by faith we accept every word from beginning to end. We don't need to add or takeaway one thing because it's perfect. He gave us His word to provide all we need to live, it's our owners manual for life. The four areas listed above must be applied and should be visible in our own walk. It was never God's plan for us to correct others and not ourselves first. If people see our life and see God's word being lived out they have a personal example to follow. We are all going to sin but what a testimony when we share how God's word got us through a difficult time, blessed us, or opened our eyes to see worldly problems with Godly wisdom. We are to also use God's word to help others see the light and get out from under sins control. Of course this needs to be done with love, care, and not in a selfish way to make ourselves look better. Confidence in Scripture gives us the rock solid foundation, trust, and courage to share it and proclaim it to all. Have a blessed weekend and never be ashamed of God's word!

This verse in Psalms, 62:1, is exactly what I needed reminded of this morning as my Dad is getting ready to get a pacemaker installed. "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him". I believe and know without a shadow of doubt that all my peace, strength, comfort, confidence, and hope comes from our mighty God! He is in complete control of all things and we don't need to add anything to God to make Him better. This doesn't mean we hide in a corner and pretend nothing is going on, no chaos, and no difficulties. We pray and ask for guidance, peace, comfort, and wisdom and we trust Him to provide. Isaiah 55:11 states, "His word will accomplish what He desires". Jesus is and was the only way for my salvation and I couldn't do it any other way. I couldn't earn it any other way, it was a gift from God. I can't do anything for my Dad this morning but give it to God and believe He is in complete control of the outcome. I can and will ask for your prayers for Pap, my Mom, and our family and my friends that is the most important thing we all can do during times of crisis, stress, difficulties, and unknowns. God hears our prayers and He loves us and cares for us. Thanks in advance, have a blessed week, and share your experiences and confidence in our Lord!

1 John 4:7 says, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God". This verse reminds me if I'm walking with the Lord or not. Love for one another, true love, comes only through our relationship, faith, and obedience to God. It's our sinful nature to hate, be jealous, and envy others. But, God constantly tells us in His word to love others. It's really the ultimate test of your Christian witness and walk. Is it easy to love others, especially our enemies, absolutely not but I've never found in God's word that following Christ would be easy. I do know the Holy Spirit guides me and reminds me how I need to be each day. It's critical I read and study each day, pray up before beginning my day, and constantly praying throughout the day to come close to loving all I meet. It's also vital I acknowledge where I come up short and ask the Lord to help me do better tomorrow. Each day, He will provide opportunities to love others and our witness will be tested. Are people going to see the Lord or the world? That's depends on who I am focused on... Have a blessed weekend and be the light!

What are your fears and what is keeping you from fulfilling your dreams? Mark Batterson does an excellent job of reminding us what God wants and expects us to do with our fears. And if our dreams can be done without God's help, they're not big enough. All this requires us to learn and unlearn many things, especially using age as a crutch. Great book for our next Men's Group study...
