5th November Pastors Post
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. With all the many problems that our Nations faces we are still a blessed Country. Many of our leaders talk about how we can solve the problems that we face as a Nation, but it seems that they never want to hear what God has to say about how to solve those problems. God has the solutions and here they are.
(Mat 6:24 NIV) “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
(Mat 6:25 NIV) “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
(Mat 6:26 NIV) Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
(Mat 6:27 NIV) Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?
(Mat 6:28 NIV) “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
(Mat 6:29 NIV) Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
(Mat 6:30 NIV) If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
(Mat 6:31 NIV) So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
(Mat 6:32 NIV) For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
(Mat 6:33 NIV) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
We trust our Doctors, as we should, to take care of us. We trust airlines to get us safely to our destinations. When we stop and think about it, we trust a lot of people and things to take care of us, but when it comes to believing and trusting God when He tells us He will take care of us, things change.
(Rom 15:13 NIV) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Psa 44:6 NIV) I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;
(Psa 44:7 NIV) but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
(Psa 44:8 NIV) In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Selah
These are just a few of the things that God wants to do for us. You may want to do a search on your own.
May God grant you a greater understanding of how much He wants to be part of our lives.
