Name:

God has been doing phenomenal things in my life. I am no longer the person that I used to be; God has changed me. I have been made whole. I have been through the fire. There have been many days were things appeared to be down and very few days that looked good. God rescued me in the middle of my storm. When we call on God, he will answer us. However, there was a greater blessing in the mist of all of this. It was the relationship that He established between us. I have a real relationship with God now. Like any relationship there is a give and take. One thing I had to give was my time (there are other things but I won’t go there today). I had to take the time to study my word. That is how we get to know God; by studying his word. This Blogger shares the lessons that God has taught me.

Joy & Suffering/Sorrow

1 John 2: 17 (King James Version)
“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

Jesus 1st
Others 2nd
You 3rd

Jesus 1st
-Living by this order will bring joy into your life. The scripture above tells us that if we do the will of God we will “abideth for ever.” All through the Bible, there is verse after verse that tells us that we must follow the will of God. We even studied one last week when Jesus said, “nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done,” (Luke 22:42). As long as we stay on the path that God has laid out for us no real harm will ever come to us. We also learned last week that Jesus did nothing until the Father told him. If I am putting Jesus first in my life, then I should not do anything until the Jesus tells me. Everything that I do should be put before God first. Lord, please remind me to run everything that I do by you first.
