Star Box


  

    Did your mind drift after reading the title of this post. I didn’t say Starbucks, I said star box. Many times during Christmas you see gift boxes with stars on them. The best gifts placed in the box were given to your favorite friend or family member. The star made each box gift precious.  It was a symbol of honor and riches. One night I was laying outside on the ground, gazing up at the stars.  What a sight to behold! The stars twinkled in the night sky. I bet close-up they look like diamonds. It got me wondering about the wonders of Heaven. I bet Heaven looks like an expensive palace. Queen Elizabeth doesn’t live that good.  Diamonds and satin white everywhere. Of course this is just my imagination, but, I felt at peace thinking about the stars and Heaven.  I thought I’d share my thoughts and take you to a peaceful place. There’s not enough peace in our lives with all the hustle and bustle going on. Therefore, the next time work stresses you to the point of acting out, re-live my thoughts and visit Heaven. Take a look around.  Relax.  Unwind.  Enjoy the pleasures of Heaven. 
    Can you believe all this from a star box. Go on, open your box.  I just gave you a gift—Peace!

God's Timeout!

Even in the mist of your trials, God provides prosperity and peace.  In Jeremiah 29, God told His people that after captivity, after their time-out, He would restore them to Jerusalem.  The people’s response was to simply to listen and obey.  Such a simple task, yet, not easily done. Are you a doer of God’s word? Does others see God in your actions? Do you see yourself, your actions, and your thoughts when you read God’s word?   James talks about looking into God’s mirror and walking away forgetting what you look like (James 1:23-24).  Trials are not for you to point the finger at others or to use as a pawn to make idle promises to do better.    Trials designed to bring you closer to God, to embrace His love, mercy, and grace.  Remember raising your children (if you had any) and after you scold them, they ran to you with tears in their eyes and hug you tightly, a silent plea for forgiveness.  When Go...

Heaven's Hotline!

Heaven’s hotline is available day or night.  Never worry about the line going dead, disconnected or even fear an operator saying, “Please hold.” God answers all His calls. How do you get connected? I’m glad you asked. You received your telephone number the day of your new birth. The cost of installation was Jesus’ blood on the Cross. Your name was entered on God's speed dial. There you have it, no number to memorize and no dial tone to achieve; the call connects instantly when you say the code words “o ur Father .”            You don’t have to worry that someone is listening or be concerned with how to phrase your sentences. The receiver knew you before you were formed. ( Jeremiah 1:5 ). In fact, you do not have to explain your reason for calling. God wants you to talk to him.         Did you know that an angel stands before God day and night offering up your prayers as incenses b...

I Got You!

Do you remember going to the arcades? You and your friends’ old rendezvous spot, battling for the top spot in one of the popular games. While you guys horsed around, a group of troublemakers bullied their way onto the machines? Your posy band together vowing to have each other’s back.  Now days, every man for himself. Someone will call 911 for you, any more than that would be heroic (Romans 5:7).  No one takes on any man’s cause anymore. The back-in-the-day phrase was "I got your back."
