I Needed To Know





In my office meeting, the meeting slides were posted on the screen. Many of my co-workers made comments on my slide presentation. I was busy jotting notes. Suddenly, I overheard one lady from the back of the room ask, "Where's the division chiefs travel trip information kept?"  
Another person chimed in saying , "The general said our information is inaccurate!"
Wait just one minute, I said in my head. My head came up like a cobra.
"What information is wrong?" I asked.
I was ignored as the group chatted among themselves.
"What information?" I shouted over the group noise.
The group chatter seemed to get louder. Now I was irate.
"What information?!"
The one lady goes on to say, "the division chiefs calendars," to which I replied, "The travel trip report is up-to-date."
I won't bore you with the whole conversation but to shorten it, the group were talking about the calendar where the division chiefs post their travel trips, and vacation.  The general was looking in a place that wasn't updated. Had I known he was looking there, I would have kept that information current. 
I stopped, looked at each of them and said, "I needed to know that!”
I felt like they were keeping valuable information from me. That got me thinking on a spiritual level. How many people are you walking around or passing by that need to know about Jesus, His forgiveness and grace?  Let's say these people you surrounded by die today and open their eyes in hell, I can imagine them feeling like me—mad because no one mentioned Jesus to them. The conversation would go like this:

Screams and crying rises out of hell as your friend descends into his spot.  You friend notices you there too.
“Hey, I know you. You were always at the bus stop.”
“Yep.”
“Did you know about this place? You had too, because you always said to me, “Have a blessed day.”
“Yep”
“And you never told me about this place or even mentioned Jesus, who I met on the way down here? I tried to explain to Him I didn't know but he continued walked away.”
You both moaned.
“Hey, how come you’re here?”
“I never mentioned Him or this place to anyone. I figured someone else would tell you.”
“So, you telling me I’m here because you kept vital information such as this from me? I needed to know this!”
Both mad at each other and torment by Satan forever.

Suggestion: Go tell someone about Jesus before it’s too late for both of you. Someone needs to know.

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

The Rain

There is something about rain. It is soothing. Therapists play relaxing sounds of rain during sessions. It calms the mind.  On my way to church,  a drizzle of rain hit my windshield.   The sky was dark and gloomy.  I noticed above the clouds the sun shining regardless of its surroundings.   Troubles in your life mimics the dark clouds and the sun represents the Son of God shining in your life (2 Samuel 23:4).   The Old Testament speaks of rain in the aspect that God gives and withholds rain, which is a sign of God’s favor or disfavor: Joel 2:23; Job 29:23; Jerm 3:3. Who tips the water-jars of Heaven (Job 38:37)?   Who gives the rain in it season (Jeremiah 5:24)? Who sends an abundance of rain when needed (Psalm 68:9)?   It’s not just the presence and absence of rain that’s important but the timing. God provides what you need at the right time: Rain teaches us: ·        Wait for the Father to fight your...

Get Ready

W hen the Children of God came to the Red Sea, no doubt their motivation levels were very low. They had Pharaoh and his army behind them, mountains on the sides of them and the Red Sea ahead of them.  There seemed to be no way out of this saga.  A movie where the villain has the good person cornered.  You wonder how they were going to get out of it. God's people waited 450 years to be released from Egypt and right at their blessing (crossing the Red Sea), the God's Children cries out to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than we should die in the wilderness."  Moses answers the people by saying, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation ...
