Good News Brief For Men

Psalm 37: 23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand. Good Day Men! This Psalm is more than a few nice words. King David wrote this Psalm in his latter life.  He had experienced so very much in his walk with God over the years.  Through his experience with God he wrote many Psalms about peace and struggles with many things he encountered through the years along the journey.  But this Psalm reminds us that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.  As David walked through his life he experienced God’s reliable closeness as he maintained his relationship through fellowship, reading of the Word and prayer with the Father.  In the process David experienced how God was delighted with his walk with Him.  But sometimes when we fail God and “fall” in our faith, David reminds us that our fall is not the end, for the Fat...

Joshua 1: 6 Be strong and of good courage,….. Good Day Men! Over the years of knowing Christ as my Savior and looking to Him in all things, I have come to a better understanding of how close He wants us to follow Him throughout our lives.  Realizing this did not come easy, but my recognition of God’s presence during the difficult times grew me into a more solid believer in Christ.  More often than not we seem to move along without any real purpose and then all of a sudden something catastrophic occurs and we almost feel abandoned by God because we simply cannot sense His presence in this most recent life changing event.  Trust me, He is there. Today’s verse tells us to be strong and of good courage.  Even though this is only the beginning of this verse, we can see that God had already laid out what Joshua was going to be directed to do.  God’s direction involves great detail in every situation.  So much so, that this part of the verse is repea...

John 10: 10 “ the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy .  I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Good Day Men! Today we will conclude with “the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy .  I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” As much as Satan hates us as believers, the result in seeking Christ instead is seen in this last part of the verse, especially in the words “life” and “abundantly”.  Our life in Christ and our relationship with Him as well as an active and vibrant fellowship will equal a life with purpose and full of the great joy which comes in serving Him.  There is nothing in serving Christ that can ever be boring.  Sometimes it feels like God is just still and quiet in our lives especially when we are expecting and waiting for Him to do something in answer to our prayers.  In reality we need to be thankful for those quiet t...

John 10: 10 “ the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy .  I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Good Day Men! Today we will continue today with “the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to  destroy. ” Satan continues to hate us as believers and will continue to do so until the end of time as we know it.  Our final win will be when God casts him into the lake of fire as seen in Revelation 20: 10. Until then life as we know it will be challenged by Satan and people will be tempted by him to do awful things as an attempt to damage and injure our relationship with our heavenly Father.  We know he comes to steal, and to kill and now we see he also comes to DESTROY us in any way he can.  One of the greatest tools in his arsenal is discouragement.  If he can discourage a believer and leave them feeling beat down and worthless he has destroyed their testimony. As believers ...
