1st Corinthians 2:1-5

Posted by | Daily Bible Verse | No Comments

Paul’s words to the Church in Corinth and to us:

When I come to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, that your FAITH might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Have a good day all!!

“WALLS”

Posted by | Life Blogs | No Comments

Today I want to share a thought on “Walls.”

A wall is nothing more than a separation from something else.

Examples:

The “Great Wall of China.” The wall that separated East and West Berlin.

The walls in our home.

The wall in the back yard or around a piece of property.

The wall around Jerico

The wall we build in our own lives

I think to some extent  all of us have some type of wall that we have created, whether great or small, in our lives. There are different reasons for us to build a wall.

Examples:

Sexual abuse

Physical abuse

Mental abuse

Been hurt by someone

Lied to

Lost trust–and the list goes on!!

Brick by brick by brick walls are built. They are built over time and sometimes they are hard to bring down. It doesn’t happen over night. However, brick by brick by brick we can destroy them.

The best example I can think of on how to get rid of a wall is to remember the wall of Jericho. The Lord told Joshua to march around the city once a day for six days and on the seventh day march around seven times, blow the horn, and the people will shout and the wall will come down. Joshua did as he was told and the wall was destroyed.

We are told several times in the Bible to give God all of our troubles, fears, cares, stresses, and He will take care of them. We have a plan of attack given to us by God just like Joshua had.

When life gives us a “Brick” to add to our wall, give it to God and take one from the wall that is already built and give that one to God also. Not over night, but over time, we can destroy the walls we have built in our lives.

SMILE God loves YOU!!

Have a good day all.

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have obtained access to his grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

Romans 1:16-17

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For it is the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith, as it is written. “He who through is righteous shall live.”

Luke 8:22-25

Posted by | Daily Bible Verse | No Comments

One day He got into the boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, and as they sailed He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger. And they went and woke Him saying, “master, Master, we are perishing!!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your Faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey Him?”

Put your FAITH in Jesus, he can help you through anything!!

Matthew 21:18-22

Posted by | Daily Bible Verse | No Comments

In the morning, as He was returning to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside He went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it they marveled, saying, “How did that tree wither at once?” And Jesus answered them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
