" CIRCUMSTANCES "

Greetings,

Welcome all, even those of you who are
visiting for the very first time. I want you to know
that Jesus loves you and so do I. This week the subject
is " Circumstances ", so let's get started and get blessed.

Sometimes our plans - even the ones we think God
has approved - have to be put on hold indefinitely. My
wife and I are still being reminded that we have to wait on
the Lord. In our waiting we have learned from each
circumstance(s) That he's an on time God. We can choose
to learn and grow in our present circumstances, whatever
they may be. It's very important that God is always with
us no matter who we may have to face. God will fight with
us and all we have to do is to invite him. We must look at
our situation from God's point of view.

If you are suffering from unfair rejection, don't blame
others and become discouraged. Please understand God
can use you despite your circumstances, please know that
he is able to use you even if you feel rejected by others.
Please grab onto this nugget that viewing impossible
situations from God's point of view helps us put giant
problems in perspective. Once we see clearly, we can
fight more effectively.

Today both believers and non believers may drive
away those who do not fit the norm(s) dictated by our
society, neighborhoods, or churches. Often great potential
is wanted because of prejudice - a refusal to look beyond
ill-conceived stereotypes. As Christians you know that
everyone can have a place in God's family. Can you do
anything to help these people gain acceptance for their
character and abilities? When it is within our reach to
do for another, we must follow through. I believe that
the end times are upon us, when it is within our reach to
save others, we must do so. In life-threatening situations
don't withdraw, behave selfishly, wallow in despair, wait
for God to fix everything.

Last Point: God does not exempt believers from the
day-to-day circumstances of life. Believers and unbelievers
alike experience pain, trouble, and failure at times.
Unbelievers have a sense of hopelessness about life and are
confused over their true purpose on earth. Those who seek
God, however, can move ahead confidently with what they
know is right and important in God's eye's. They know that
God will keep them from being moved off of his chosen path.

Until next Time...

Jim
