Safety in God

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1).


God’s love and protection are with you and your children.

Recently, I had a discussion with a young mother about her concern for the spiritual awakening of her teenage son. She told me how her pastor had prayed a simple blessing over the boy. I told her I know the young man may not show any reception of his covering, but the fact is; it still remains over him because of the love and concern of his mother and the appointed ministering of one of God’s shepherds (her pastor.) In spite of how the young man may or may not act or speak of his covering, I believe God claims the young man even up to the time in which the Holy Spirit convicts him to receive and act upon his salvation. The boy is under the feathers of the wings of God until he is able to make a decision for God. Further more, I believe even before the moment of our conception God claims us as His creation. As we are born and live He places His angels around us to protect us. Jesus said in His Parable of The Lost Sheep; “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).

We are all little ones in God’s eyes. I thank God for the protection He provides all His children no matter what our ages. It gives me great comfort in knowing we have Safety in God. 

My Prayer: Oh Lord, You are almighty God, You created us to be your children and to worship You. We are Yours! Help us Lord to realize the safety we, and our children have in You because You love us. Bless us Lord, each and everyone.

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
