Worship Him no matter the circumstance

-

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and said,  “All authority in heav

  Click here to listen to Pastor Sherman on Sunday, November 3, 2024 - "Stay Encouraged" In this sermon, Pastor Sherman encouraged us to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts. "Acknowledge him in all your ways. Lord, show me the way." Stay encouraged in these last, evil days. He will direct our path and keep us on the path of righteousness and holiness. I am nothing without God. With God, I can make it through the storm. Our purpose is to serve God, not to serve me.

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

-
Image
 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe

Forgive myself and move on

-
Image
  I've been upset about my situation for a long time. To make a long story short, I got into serious trouble several years ago. It's the type of thing that's hard to come back from. Enough is enough. I have to move on and forgive myself. I was young and dumb. I've seen my nephews and nieces grow up. I want this month to be the month that I turn my life around. Like the Drake song says, "God's Plan". Jesus got me out of the worst possible trouble for a reason. I believe He wants me to use my story as an example. A cautionary tale to avoid making the same mistakes. And I have to stop thinking about what I don't have and what I do have. Bible Gateway Matthew 26:28 This is  my  blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the  forgive ness of  sins .

In her words, she said she would create an opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to compete and succeed. She wants to lower the cost of everyday needs like healthcare, houses, and groceries and end the housing shortage.  She pledged to protect Social Security and Medicare.

Happy Labor Day

  I hope everyone has a safe and fun Labor Day. I'm taking it easy today, but I will work on my blog and edit my book, Thru The Glass. From Bible Gateway: Psalm 100 A psalm. For giving grateful praise. 1  Shout for joy to the  Lord , all the earth. 2       Worship the  Lord  with gladness;      come before him with joyful songs. 3  Know that the  Lord  is God.      It is he who made us, and we are his [ a ] ;      we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4  Enter his gates with thanksgiving      and his courts with praise;      give thanks to him and praise his name. 5  For the  Lord  is good and his love endures forever;      his faithfulness continues through all generations.
