LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES!!

Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:5b-6a

Before we were saved we spent all of our lives searching for something. We search for things to fill that anoying void that is deep within us. We look for food, jobs, spouses, friends, degrees, and happiness. But when we got saved we found "it". We found that one thing that can turn the tide in our lives. However once that search was over a new one should have began. We should be looking towards Jesus and seek after His wisdom.

So essentially we will always be a race of seekers. When we are in the world we seek things that cannot sustain life. But when we find Jesus we recieve life and begin to seek a closer understanding of His word and will in our lives. This new search enhances and guides our journey towards GOD's destination . It will speak to all the other choices we have previously sought. In other words instead of looking for your spouse, now you are praying GOD prepares you for the spouse that he will deliver.

With that said I have one question. . . Why is it, even after all the time we spend with GOD, and know that He is the only one that has the answers, we still "look among the dead for the living"? We wrestle with the choices before us, and then consult every wordly source for an answer instead of calling upon the name of GOD. Sometimes GOD is the last one we consult. Thats like allowing plumber to perform your open heart surgery. As silly as that sounds it is running rampant in the body of Christ today!

We go back to the place that is familar. When there is a test we run to the world instead of GOD's word to get a peek of the answer. Today is the day that you should commit to truly searching for GOD's advice and appointment in your life. Jesus has come into your life to hold your hand everystep of the way. Remember if life were a test, God would be your teacher and is willing to share all the answers with you. Look for the answers of life in the words of the "Way, Truth and the LIFE" Jesus Christ.

Be Encouraged.

Remember I love you always and in all ways.

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
