there is a season turn turn turn turn

Howdy all. I am back. i have been super busy, but so is life. life is GOOD!

Just wanted to make a post concerning all the talk of politics and the money woes in America. God never said every second of every day will be fun and great. God test us, puts us thru trials to help us, to help us rely more on Him and less on ourselves, to build our faith in Him and Him alone. I think this is an important time in America. Things are tough for people. People losing their jobs, people scared about money, healthcare, just surviving.

Matthew 6:25-34 has some words we can lean on in these hard times..

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

God wants to provide for us. He loves us. God wants to bless us. So no need to worry. Look to Jesus, look to God in these tough times. If you accept Jesus as your savior, you are guaranteed riches beyond anything we can imagine in heaven. This is so encouraging. So, just read that scripture again. Really think about it. God loves YOU!!! You can have that reassurance today. God will take care of you. Its not always the way we want. God never says above that he will give us big homes and tons of cars and toys and dunkin donuts coffee everyday. He said He would provide. So, take a moment and really think about that. every good thing comes from the Father.

In these tough times, maybe its time to get back to church. a bible believing church that can really encourage you, build you up spiritually and help ease that worry that comes from the devil. God loves YOU and wants to bless you!!! remember that. Amen!!!!!

peace all!

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
