In times of trouble, Jesus doesn't stand on the shore and shout, “Row a little harder!
Think positive! You got this!” He is not a life coach, personal trainer, or cheerleader on the sidelines of life. He is the Lord of the storms. He rules the wind and waves. He comes to us in our fear and hopelessness to say, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
This says to lean in without fear. What’s the worst that could happen? Whatever you are afraid you’d loose wasn’t yours to begin with - neither does anyone have sole ownership (caveat 😆). So I tell myself to be brave and take a leap of faith into what this life has for me
Humans gain comfort from the familiar. I know I do… but what if the greatest things only happen when we step out of the familiar? What if we intentionally let God out of the box we have put Him in and embark on a beautiful adventure with Him?

This is one of the most impactful and relevant speeches by a world leader (that I have heard) in a very long time. Indeed it is a new world order where the rules have been upended. Do we submit to subordination or do we forge new alliances. A new script is being written! #Carney
ChatGPT estimates the number of birds alive in the world at 50 billion. Jesus said God feeds them all.
This meticulous providence does not tax or distract him.
It proves his attentiveness and care as a Father to us his children.
“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Matthew 6:26
@AnnAnne700@howertonjosh Your comment resonates Ann. I’m 40+ & single & I love Jesus with my whole heart. Churches treating singles as 2nd class is REAL. So what if no one ‘picks me’ am I any less to Jesus as a single? Any less if I am not ‘cute’? My life IS impactful regardless because of Jesus!
Drunk Lot impregnated his daughter, who bore Moab, whence came Ruth, the great-grandmother of David, the king who murdered Bathsheba's husband and with her fathered Solomon, who filled Jerusalem with idolatry.
Christ's genealogy preaches his will to save even the most messed up of families.
John MacArthur explains the Pre-Trib Rapture of the Church:
"You'd have to go to school to get it wrong. It's crystal clear. Somebody's gotta tell you it's not true."
John MacArthur:
"The most important thing in life is what you believe. What you possess won't take you to heaven. Only if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will you have eternal life. The goal of life is not personal satisfaction. The goal of life is the glory of God."
