What Can You Live Without?






How do you take your coffee, with or without sugar? Do you lock your car with or without keys in your hand?  Do you drive without checking your gas levels? Can you live with or without friends? How about without an old flame? What about religiously, do you live your  life without Jesus?  Life has a way of filling our days with trivial activities so you zombie your way through this life and live without what's important--a goal set towards Heaven.  Imagine never reading the Book of Genesis, the world would not know about creation, sin, the fall of man, God’s judgment, and the redemptive story of Jesus Christ. Where would you be if Jesus never came to earth? What control Satan would have on your life?  If you think sin and circumstance has you up at night, imagine your life with out Jesus!  Without him, there's no hope. It’s a life like a drifting ship without a sail; it aimlessly wandering through a sea with no future. Without Jesus, mankind would be doom. But bless be the God of the Heavens to not leave us without. Hope is what keeps us sane. it keeps us in the fight. If there were no hope, why bother living.  I need the Lord every day; every hour. I'm glad Jesus came so Satan can't throw us around like rag dolls and laugh about it.  He is going to laugh but he can't have his way.  You hold the  key to what Satan can do to you. When you sin, you invite Satan into your life. However by living for the Savior, Satan doesn't have an invitation to your life.  That's all due to Jesus death and coming out of the grave. 

Without….hummm...

I'm glad we're not. Aren't you?

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....

Trust God

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight ( NIV ). “Police, Police, a young man stole my bike.”   Minutes earlier the gentleman stops at the local store. Thirsty from the summer heat, he decides to get a drink.   Dismounting his bike, a kind young man greets him with a smile and offers to watch the bike. Grateful for the offer, the gentleman hands over the bike.   He enters the store. On returning, the bike and young man had vanished. The gentleman had a good heart, but he had misplaced trust.   Trust in the Lord is paramount (Hebrews 11:6). Life cannot be maneuver through our wisdom, we need the wisdom of the Savior.   He alone can handle our life cycle issues.   A fulfill and successful life with Jesus comes through obedience and surrender. The Lord then guides us into an everlasting peace despite difficulties and h...

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...
