Be Careful Then Dear Brothers and Sisters

For believers, this part of scripture can be found in Hebrews Chapter 3 verse 12. Which reads: Be careful then dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from living God. So when reading that you might be feeling overwhelmed and sometimes it can feel like that. It seems like there is no way you could ever accomplish such a lofty goal. The reality as sinners none of us can no matter how hard we try.

However, when we go on to verse 13 we do find hope.

You must warn each other every day, while it is still today so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. The key part of this part of scripture are the words ” warn each other every day” Not just on Sundays or some other random day but each day.

So we believers need each other every day to help remind us that we are never alone in our faith journey. So have you helped someone today in their journey against sin?

Your October In Life Is Now

As the rain falls on this October morning it reminds of how myself and everyone else is in the October of our lives every second of every day. So what does that mean anyway? Well what it means that traditionally when October comes fall is here and winter is fast approaching.

Isn’t that true about our lives the thing is, we forget that and act like we can go on forever!

So take the time to reflect on this October phase of your life because when it ends the Lord God Almighty calls you home there will be no more Octobers in your life.

There will only be peace and glory and all of the Octobers in your life will have been well worth the pain and suffering.

Questions Each Day

When we wake up each day, we can consider what answers we will need to get through that particular day. Frankly, that is a waste of time and energy. I know you would be better off if that time was spent reading scripture and praying.

I know many of us find it easy to excuse the lack of time for reading scripture and praying. This brings up one question. I think this is best expressed here

1 Thessalonians 5:2 

For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

So it’s a given that the end times are near so wouldn’t make sense to be in scripture and prayer instead of looking for answers elsewhere?

God Never Changes

As we go through life we can often feel confused and have a feeling of hopelessness. It is something that we all deal with from time to time.

However, there is good news because no matter what you may be facing God never changes.

I think a way we can look at it is when a pole vaulter is in a competition and they go from round to round the bar gets raised higher and higher until no one can make it over the bar.

There is a song entitled ” God On The Mountain” that God brought into my life and my most difficult time and my hope is that it will bring all of you a sense of comfort.
