Road Signs......

-
Let's face it guys, we need help (sometimes).  When it comes to driving down the road especially one I am not familiar with I really need to pay attention to the highway signs and markers.  If I don't take the guidance they offer seriously I could end up going the wrong way on an interstate.  How bad would that be?  But as much as we have these road signs to keep us safe God offers the same guidance to keep us spiritually safe and growing in Him.  We read His Word on a routine basis ans you find yourself more prepared to push off the temptations that come your way from the devil himself.  I have said this many times before but my greatest reminder was when I was diagnosed with Cancer.  Even though I was Pastoring a church at the time I found myself groping for the right verses to help stabilize my mental attitude and the emotions this new found situation brought into my life.  Spiritually I felt even weak.  This kind of thing catches you by surprise.  But in God's Word we find help in time of need and I really was in need during that time in my life.  God began to use verses I already knew and reinforced the verses I held dear to my life.  Needless to say, I made it by the Grace of God alone and the countless prayers of others.

The key is to read His Word and watch for the scriptural signs along the way that God will introduce to you before you become desperate.  Desperate is NOT a good feeling no matter how you look at it.  Be watchful and waiting for His mighty blessings.

Next, after the weekend coming up is "The Construction Zone" coming to a highway near you.....

Have a great weekend!

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
