Jesus Prays

If Jesus felt the need to pray to the Father when He was God in the flesh, how much more do we need to pray?

Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

The Bible has a lot to say about prayer. Read all the following scriptures if you are serious about your prayer life.

• We are commanded to pray – 1 Thes. 5:17; Luke 18:1; Rom. 12:12; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:2.
• We are instructed how to pray and how not to pray – Luke 11:1-4, Matt. 6:5-
• We are given promises in prayer – Jer. 33:3; Isa. 65:24; Matt. 7:7-11; Phil. 4:6-7.

Prayer is essential for a holy, empowered spiritual life. --  a life that God can bless and use for His glory.

Jesus Is Right For Whatever's Wrong In Your Life

People from all around Galilee were bringing the sick to Jesus. There were those possessed with devils and sick of the palsy -- hopeless in themselves.

There were those who were tormented, hitting rock bottom, even lunatics who had lost their minds. Jesus healed them and brought peace to their troubled lives.

Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

 Those on the bottom found a reason to live another day. Those whose minds were devastated by sin and the cares of life found inner peace.

You may need salvation. -- healing from sin. Seek Jesus.

You may need encouragement  -- healing from a broken heart or depression. Seek Jesus.

You may need to find forgiveness and joy -- healing from a bitter spirit. Seek Jesus.

Jesus is right for whatever’s wrong in your life.

Stress And The Wisdom Of God

Many years ago my Oncologist congratulated me on being a cancer survivor and then gave me this advice: “Don’t get stressed.” Stress can affect your health.

Do you ever get stressed? I do sometimes and usually make matters worse because I don’t have the right solution.

Stress is often brought on by problems that seem to have no solution. We need to seek spiritual discernment in the decisions we make.

We need God’s wisdom in our lives. We need to trust the Lord with our stress.

Prov.3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Are you dealing with a stressful situation? Have you sought the Lord’s wisdom?

Thank God For The Bible

The only way the character of God can be known by us, at least now, is reading His Word. The Scriptures reveal Him to be holy, loving, just, eternal, glorious, exalted, gracious, merciful and infinitely good.  They also teach us that - - - -
• He is Lord
• He is Sovereign
• He is a consuming fire
• He is a God of wrath

Thank God for the Bible. He has blessed us beyond our comprehension. He has given us an inspired, infallible, inerrant record of Himself, His will, and His ways.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

May we love this blessed book, read it, and carry it in our hearts with assurance that it is the Book of Truth and Redemption.

May it develop us, feed us, lead us and teach us all the way home to Heaven.
