What will you do? There are some things you can't do. Saving yourself is one. Life is full of limitations. We need our Father in heaven to do all the things our humanity limits us from doing. He wants a relationship with us.
Imperfect People In The Hands Of A Perfect God Pt. 1

1 Samuel 16:1
G5497
Who hasn't made mistakes. Don't let your mistakes keep you from following Jesus. The Bible is full of imperfect people. Let go of the past and let God use you today.
What is it you need? Is it a thing, a relationship, money, or peace? Do you think God wants you to have it or not? Maybe not right now. He is able to provide everything you need for godliness. He is our Father and loves us very much.
Have you ever been worried or anxious? Peace comes from Jesus. We can use our energy for fear or faith. We have the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to use it to lay down all ungodliness. Feed your spirit, not your flesh.
Can I or someone I love change? Can that change last? God wants to transform us into His image. Do I really need to change? The answer is yes with the power of the Lord. We must repent and put off our old self and put on the new.
What happens when you have an unexpected guest? What if it were Jesus? Mary and Martha had Jesus come to their home. Martha was busy and Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus. Where are you, too busy or sitting at the feet of Jesus?
In life we call it starting over. There is a real enemy trying to stop your do over. The piece missing to the start over is belief in the Lord. You must be born again to see the kingdom of heaven. Jesus will give us His heart. We must repent and we will be reborn.

Revelation 2:1
G5494
Spiritual examination is uncomfortable, but necessary for our spiritual health. If your serving the Lord for yourself and not out of love for Jesus, return to your first love. Repent and return to the Lord.
God is our Father, our shelter, and our Shepherd. Reach out of your current situation to the very nature and character of God.Trust God to be your shelter. He never changes and He'll always be with you.
The quest to identity starts with suffering, hardship and circumstances.Messiah is the answer to ones dying. What about the afterlife. It's called eternal life. We need a Savior. The suffering of the Messiah. Jesus is the Christ. His word is the only thing above His name.
As believers we must know why we believe what we believe. Why we are doing through what that we do. Is it tradition or the truth from the Word of God? We must start with the Bible and end with it.
The Bible is our directive for daily living. What burden has God given you? What is keeping you from fulfilling the burden? Is it sin? Who is carrying something you can help carry? The needs are great.
Believe in the Lord and you will be saved. This is a supernatural thing not a fleshly thing. Questions and answers asked by the believer. Can we drink,dance, smoke, what about the rapture, should we see r-rated movies?
What are you doing with your life? Are you the person you dreamed of being? Are you doing what God called you to do with your life? Delight yourself with the Lord and He will give yu the desires of your life.
Is this all there is? What about heaven? It's not about earth, it's all about heaven. What is heaven like? Absent from the body, present with the Lord.
Your mind is never at rest. Mind has incredible power. The mind controlled by the Spirit brings life and peace. The fleshly mind brings anxiety and worry. Pray with Thanksgiving and turn worry into praise.

1 Thessalonians 5:1
G5488
There are a lot of uncertainties in this world. When will the economy turn around? When will I get married? God is the only certainty. Jesus is coming back. We must be packed and ready.
