Riches In Glory

The bible says that '... my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus'. My belt broke last week and I have been using rope for this past week (this includes going to church today with my fancy custom made belt).
And all week I have been thinking 'How am I going to get a new belt? I have no money. I dont want to borrow money for the belt. How am I going to get a new belt?' Then God hits me with an answer. 'I gave you my son, and life here to serve me, don't you think I will give you a belt if I think you need one?'
Sometimes we go through life thinking 'Oh me, what will i do?' You know what? It is at times like these that we need to fall back on the sovereignty of God and trust that the controller of the universe knows what He is doing. He has all the riches in this world and He will supply us according to His riches, not only here, but in glory. And we know those riches far exceed our needs.
Next time you worry about God's provision, just remember what He has provided already.

Throughts from Pink

I often say my prayers
But do I ever pray?
and do the wishes of my heart
Go with the words I say?
I may as well kneel down
And worship gods of stone
As offer to the living God
A prayer of words alone

There must be no dictating, nor can we 'claim' anything from God. for we are beggars dependent upon His mere mercy. In all our praying we must add, 'Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.'

We are profited from the Scriptures when prayer become a real and deep joy. Merely to 'say our prayers' each morning and evening is an irksome task, a duty to be performed which brings a sigh of relief when it is done. But really to come into the conscious presence of God, to behold the glorious light of His countenance, to commune with Him at the mercy seat, is a foretaste of the eternal bliss awaiting us in heaven.

Westminster of the Week!

It's back folks!



IV. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.[9]

Why We Go Through What We Go Through

Are there ever situations where you just throw your head back and say 'Why does this stuff always happen to me?' We find Paul in this situation here in 2 Corinthians i.
Paul is writing to the church here at Corinth and he says in verse 8 that '[I] would not...have you ignorant of our trouble'. He goes on to talk about how he had despaired of life itself. What a situation to be in. But why would God put Paul through something like this? Lets take a look back. i.3. ...and the God of all comfort (4) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we mat be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Paul here says that comforts those who are afflicted. Well we know that God is the one who sends the affliction. so what is the purpose? Well, when the Lord comforts us we are able to comfort others in that situation with the same comfort that God has given us.
With this God-given peace we are able to show forth God's comfort to the unbeliever, and broken hearted Christian.
So the next time you have a 'why me moment'. Say a quick prayer, and thank God for the peace that He will give you.

What Do I Really Have?

I was really thinking the other day, what do I really have in this life. I mean really think about it.
I have a car, no it can be taken away. I have money, it can be stolen. I have a girlfriend, this can be taken from you (pretty easy to lose :/). I have clothes, those can be stolen right off your back. I have stocks, can be lost...pets...a house...kids...what do you really have?!?!?
You will always have the Lord. No matter where you go. You will always have peace, in all situations. You will have a home in heaven, when you have no place to put your head on earth.
All you really poses on this earth can be stolen, broken, killed, or rotted with time. Those things you have eternal...those are yours, forever.

To All My Fans

How Great is Our God?

Psa 99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble:
he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2 The LORD is great in Zion;
and he is high above all the people.
3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name;
for it is holy.
4 The king's strength also loveth judgment;
thou dost establish equity,
thou executest judgment
and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the LORD our God,
and worship at his footstool;
for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among them that call upon his name;
they called upon the LORD,
and he answered them.
7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar:
they kept his testimonies,
and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them,
O LORD our God:
thou wast a God that forgavest them,
though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the LORD our God,
and worship at his holy hill;
for the LORD our God is holy.

How great is our God? He is so big He can hold this universe in His hand. But He is so small His fullness can dwell in your heart. He is so mighty he controls every rain drop yet He is so gentle He guilds the steps of a baby. He is so Awesome the heavens can not contain Him but He robbed Himself in this flesh. So great that He rules with absolute authority and He speaks to me in the smallest voice. You can't understand Him with your head but you can feel Him with your heart. How great is our God?
