REALLY? With all I had to do to get things ready for Thanksgiving and then before I can blink it will be Christmas, you want me to give thanks with a joyful heart? I don’t even have time to think straight. I don’t have the time or energy to pray and give thanks. Unfortunately, we can let ourselves fall into this syndrome. The world has made everything so materialistic and frantic. Everything has to be perfect and bigger and better…..
Each day seems to bring a new set or problems. There is always something that causes us to be stressed. You can be rocking along and everything is just fine, and then, boom! out of nowhere, the bombshell explodes. But, do not fear. We have our lives all planned out but it doesn’t always work out that way. In fact, it very rarely does. You know, “The best laid plans of mice and men, etc.” Most of the time there…..
Some days it seems that everything I do is uphill. Nothing is happening as it should. Projects that I need to complete are not getting done. I feel like I am carrying a load that I shouldn’t have to carry. When that happens I turn it over to God. Life can be filled with battles. Some are much more serious than getting a project finished on time. We have battles with our spouse; our children; our neighbors and so on. …..
Unfortunately we live in a day when someone knocks on your door our first thought is concern. Is it someone selling something or could it be a thief? We are usually very cautious going to the door. Revelation 3:20 tell us that Jesus is knocking at our door. “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” This…..
It sounds so easy to just be still but most of the time I find it really hard. When things are crazy around me, I think I have to fix them. I am just that kind of person. In Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” When we try to fix things on our own, we are actually trying to be…..
On Friday, December 9th Ginger will be signing copies of her book, GOOD MORNING, GOD! at the Village of Tanglewood, 1600 Augusta at 11:00 am.
God loves His children and as our Father God wants us to obey Him. It seems like a reasonable request from a Father who knows our every care; who hears our every cry; who provides for us daily and most of all, who sent His Son to die for our sins. Saul was the first king of Israel. He was anointed by the prophet, Samuel. God instructed Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites because they had been ravaging Israel and…..
If you watch TV and the commercials, you will never be satisfied. You will never be as attractive as the people on TV. You will never have as big a house as the rich and famous. You will never have the most expensive and fastest car. So what satisfies us? If you read magazines, you will never be thin enough. Your life will not come close to the stars who have become our heroes. The tragedy is that God is…..
With the election only a few days away, we are all wondering what the results will be. Who will be elected and what will it mean for our nation. I pray for our nation every day and ask God to send us a Godly leader who can bring us back to “One Nation under God.” America is in a crisis. But, did you know that God has every crisis in His hands? He is always there for those who love…..
