God's Provisions Bring God Glory!!!

Let me ask you a question: Did you know that we bring God glory by calling upon Him when we are in distress? You see, God has promised that He would deliver us if we turned to Him. We deny the Lord honor that is rightfully His every time we find ourselves in difficulty and we fail to call upon Him for help!

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." Psalm 50:15

Friends, there may be times when God allows us to reach a point of need so that we will call upon Him, and thus let Him demonstrate to a watching and waiting world the difference He makes in the lives of His children. I fully believe that if God never allowed us to experience need, people around us might never have the opportunity to witness God's provision in the life of a Christian. If we have never faced a shortfall, we might be tempted to feel self-sufficient and without any need of God in our daily life.

Pride will tempt us to think that we do not need to seek God's assistance. Self-regard will seek to convince us that we can handle our dilemma through our own wisdom, resources, and hard work. Pride will also rob glory from God and seek to give it to us. We cannot allow our pride to take what rightfully belongs to the Lord. We need to call upon our Lord and wait exclusively upon Him to rescue us! Then we need to give Him the glory that He deserves.

One last thing friends: remember that self-sufficiency can greatly hinder our ability to experience God and bring Him honor. The next time we find ourselves in distress, we should turn to Him!

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

It Is Our Life!!!

One of the things that I find puzzling and troubling today is that so many of us Christians try to live the Christian life in this world today, without reading our Bibles! Many of us will occasionally give it a sporadic look, seeking a pithy thought to help us get through our day. This is sad. The Word of God is not merely a source of helpful suggestions, preventative warnings, or even inspirational thoughts . The Word of God is life itself! But, oh how foolish that many of us are, having the words of life right at our fingertips, and still not bothering to make time to sit down and go through it's pages. "For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." Deuteronomy 32:47. God gathered the nation of Israel at the edge of the Promised Land to review their pilgrimage with Him. They had just spent 40 years wandering the desert, on a journey that should have...

Into A Storm!!!

There are many believers today that think that because they are in Christ, they are free from trials and tribulations. Life will always be good. However, there are going to be times when storms will come to us. Some of those storms will be the result of the choices we have made, some of them will come as a result of attacks by others, some will come for reasons we don't understand, but some storms will come because Jesus has sent us into them. Consider our passage today: "Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowd. After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it." Matthew 14:22-24 The disciples were commanded to get into a boat and go across the lake without the physical presence of Christ. They coul...
