Gratefulness and God's Will

I’ve never been to a meeting before where the main speaker starts out by saying something like, “do you want to know what God’s will is for you? In finding a job, a relationship, vacation, or just where does God want me? Well, I’m going tell you what God’s will is for you wether you want to hear it or not. Look up Galatians 1:3-5.” He then continued to say that “this is not the typical verses you would think of about knowing Gods will, but his point was nevertheless very thought provoking. Is our praise for what God has done for us manifested in our lives?? How happy are we for His sacrifice? So often us Adventist’s get gospel hardened...Our happiness for what God had done should spring up in our lives as an everlasting wellspring of joy that is continually in our hearts... Wouldn’t being grateful be one of the most amazing experiences! If the atmosphere of heaven is praise, and if the Lord inhabitants the praises of Israel, then being grateful is pretty important! You won’t get i

An Ordinary Man

There I sat, listening to a meeting put on by World Church Affirmation Sabbath. There on the screen, a list of things that reveal pride in someone...Oh the list so long! So many things and I could relate to so many of them! I took a picture of each one so I could look at them again and try to correct those things with Gods help of coarse. Yes with Gods help...Oh but what hope was there? I had tried already many times to be better. I prayed so many times, Lord please help me, but, nothing seemed to really help. I  prayed right then and there asking for fresh help, yet I knew all too well how utterly hard it would be according to my experience from the past. If pride and selfishness were laid aside, five minutes would remove most difficulties. I realized now how truly selfish and prideful I really was. The meetings continued and another speaker went forward, however I couldn't help gazing around at all the different people in the room. But, one person stood out to me, rather ove

In the Valley of the Shadow of Death

Psalm 116:1-8     I love the  Lord , because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.  Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.  Then called I upon the name of the  Lord ; O  Lord , I beseech thee, deliver my soul.  Gracious is the  Lord , and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.   The  Lord  preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the  Lord  hath dealt bountifully with thee.   For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I was walking one fall  evening a few months ago when I took theses pictures and was pondering the verses above that I had come across and was reading it on my phone. "Thank you for preserving my life," I was telling the Lord. walking alone with our dog Charity down our driveway has always

Life-what is it?

You live a normal life, you are a seventh-day Adventist Christian, and yes you've had people look up to you in the past, you've done great things, performed well for a few things, done a few small ministries, yet now you shrink in a growing depression ...........Can you identify with this?? Well this is very familiar to me......... One word could simply describe this: PURPOSE. Yes, it's that word, I believe God made us to crave a purpose in life, You know people who have been instilled with a lot of trust and confidence from others tend to have more of a purpose to life don't they? Well then there is a problem, (Yes I have been instilled in such a way before) but what if there are others who lack a purpose, a drive for life. Well that's what I'm aiming for, WE CAN encourage people, we can put confidence into someone, we can bring them to Jesus, the ultimate purpose contriver Himself! Just simply showing a deep interest and care in someone can instill confidence
