Waves

Look at this picture for a couple minutes....
What do you see?
What emotions does it bring to mind?
Do you see the power of the waves?
Do you see the strength of the lighthouse?
Do you see the guy at the door?
What do you think he is thinking?
What would you be thinking?
Does you life ever look like this picture?
How do you deal with those circumstances?
Read Philippians 4:6-7
No matter what you are dealing with today make this verse you prayer today.
If life is good claim this verse. If life is bad claim this verse.
May the God who calmed the waves hold you in His hands today!!! Amen

Stupid Arguments

Read 2 Timothy 2:23-24
So how do you treat your friends?
How do you treat your brothers and sisters?
And the big one how do you treat your Parents?
I don't have to say anything about how you should act the Bible says it all.
Avoid Stupid arguments...
Aren't they all pretty stupid. Im just saying when you are fighting for your own way or your parents make you mad or your friend stole your homework think before you get all emotional. Is this just a dumb thing? Is it worth getting upset about? Is God going to be glorified from me getting cranky?

Fatherhood

We all have fathers its part of life. Some of our fathers are good some bad. Some have hurt us in ways that we can't even put into words. For others, our fathers are our heros and role models. I became a father this weekend and now when I think about God the Father all I can think about is Love. The crazy Love that God our father has for us. I know that he loves me even more than I love my children. Which believe me is more than anything I have ever loved in my life. The feelings I have for them are instantly "I would die for them..." Maybe the cross makes more sense to me now. If He being God loves us like His children I fully understand why he would die for us to be with us. It is because of His crazy love that he has for us. Kinda like the love that I am feeling toward these two little ones right now.

Read John 1:10-12
Think about God's love for us
Thank Him for his love today
