The mind is most easily deceived when it’s attention is not focused where it should be. The moment you get distracted, the moment you get pulled in a particular direction. You can miss something you should have seen but didn’t see because your eyes weren’t where they needed to be.
How does the cross show God's love for humanity? Does the Father truly love us, or does only Jesus love us? Why did Jesus come to save humanity? What do we receive as a result of His sacrifice on the cross? What does it mean for our every day living? How did Jesus teach that we should approach salvation? Can even the worst of sinners be saved? This week we tackle the topic of salvation exploring the themes of these questions.
The Bible teaches about a day lost in history. A day God designed for us to remember. This week's lesson uncovers the mystery of this forgotten and lost day.
We must break the cycle of verbally abusing each other in our speech. It’s all around us. It is a common practice among all – even those we thought should do better have been caught in this web of deceit. Let us slow down a bit to choose our words well, and to listen to the words of others and be deliberate in our utterances. If we all continue to bite and devour each other, the cycle will not end.
Keep on praying. Keep on believing. Keep on reminding yourself of His promises and hold fast to them. He will come through. He knows the plans He has for you. Plans to prosper you - though you may be in hunger now; though your bills maybe piling up; though the way seems all black and you are hedged in – He will come through. Hold on a little longer. Don’t give up.
I know we all have our challenges, we all have our burdens. Notice I said burdens and not problems. But, whatever our burdens are – whether it be financial burdens, relationship burdens, family burdens, health burdens, job burdens, your seemingly inability to cope under all these burdens, the promise to you and me today is to cast our burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain us. Let us allow Him to carry them for us. He is much stronger than us anyway. He can deal with it. He will work it out. He will sustain us. He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
