We sometimes may fear, but we should trust in God. That being said God desires for us not to fear but to trust in Him and know that everything will work-out for the good. Isaiah 41:10 God tells us to not to fear. “He says, Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Praise God for the strength He gives. Mark 4:420 Jesus says, “…Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” What does all this mean? It all comes down to putting 100% of our trust in God and knowing that we can conquer anything as long as we follow Him closely. God is the best friend we could have as the Bible teaches the greatest thing someone can do is die for you. Dying for our sins is exactly what Jesus did and it is through that atonement and placing our faith in Him that we are saved. Praise God for His grace and mercy. Amen

“For we which have believed do enter into rest…” (Hebrews 4:3a KJV). “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28” What do those verses mean? It means that we as Christians should trust in Christ and lay our sins & worries down at the cross. Jesus desires for us not to be overcome with worry. Jesus loves us and is there to comfort us and the Holy Spirit is in our hearts to guide us. Praise God for His love and the rest He gives. Amen

Paul cared deeply for the church. He said, “For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. Colossians 2:5” When the church grew he was happy. Had it not been for Paul the Gospel may not have spread as quickly. Our loving God took a man who hated the church and arrested Christians and chose Him to lead the churches and spread the Gospel. Nothing is impossible with God and Paul was faithful to God. At times Paul would say follow His example. Praise God for people like the Apostle Paul who spread the love and Gospel of Jesus. Amen

Jesus is good and God. Jesus said in John 8:24, “…if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”. What does that mean? It means that unless we believe Jesus is God and died for our sins we will suffer the punishment for our sins. However, on the plus side if we do believe in Jesus and accept Him we are adopted into the family of God and promised the gift of eternal life. The eternal life promised by God is not because of what we’ve done but because of what Jesus did when He died on the cross to pay for our sins. Praise God for His amazing grace and offer of salvation. Amen

We know from the scriptures that God is good all the time and in Him we should trust. “Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Psalms 34:8”. God is so good and loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. When we accept Jesus and believe in Him and His death on the cross we are promised eternal life in Heaven when we die. Praise God for His amazing grace. Amen

The Bible teaches that we are saved by the grace of God. Since we are not saved by works the Apostle Paul talks about this in Romans the idea of how we should behave. Romans 6:1 says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?”. What does that mean? Well, the Bible teaches that we are ‘born again’ basically a new person when we accept Christ. So if we truly believe and accept Jesus our lifestyle should change. We should not do good only to merit salvation but out a love for God and a transformed life. Every religion in the world besides Christianity teaches that we are saved because of what we do. Christianity teaches we are saved because of what Christ did and His atoning death and resurrection for our sins. Praise God for His abundant grace and mercy. Amen

God is a loving God and desires for us to not be afraid. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) What does that mean? God desires for us to walk with Him and He will guide our path. God has the power to do anything and when times are hard He will give us strength. We should press-into God and trust Him. Jesus knows what’s best for us. May we all walk with and trust Him. Amen

Jesus is the light of the world and He desires for us to be the same. Jesus is the light. “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world,” (John 9:5 KJV).” Matthew 5:14 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”. What does all that mean? It means that everything we do is seen and not hidden from God. What God desires for us to do is good things and let our works be good before all. The light of the world is what we should all be. When we follow God well we are sharing with others the love of God. Praise God for helping us be the light of the world. Amen

God has great plans for our lives, and those plans are good! Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God is in control, loves us and wants only the best for us. When we walk with God even when times are hard He blesses us and guides so because He loves us dearly. Praise God for guiding us and loving us. Amen

Jesus came to earth to save and die for sinners. Romans (in the Bible) teaches that we have all sinned. Jesus says in Matthew 9:12, “…They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”. God loves the sinner but hates the sin. When we sin we fall short of God’s plan for our lives. God is always willing to forgive us of our sins and loves us dearly. I’m thankful for God’s love, grace and mercy. Amen
