AT THE END OF THE ROPE?-Devoition for today...Enjoy!

Are you at the end of the rope? Weary, cast down, about to give up? I challenge
you to answer the following questions with a simple yes or no:

* Does the Word of God promise to supply all your needs?
* Did Jesus say he would never leave you, but would be with you to the
end?
* Did he say he would keep you from falling and present you faultless
before the Father’s throne?
* Did he say that he would supply you with all you need at all times?
Did he promise you all the seed you need to spread the gospel?
* Is he more willing to give than you are to receive? Is he greater in
you than he that is in the world?
* Are his thoughts toward you good thoughts? Is he a rewarder of those
who diligently seek him?
* Is he preparing a place for you in glory? Is he coming in the clouds
to gather his people home? Are you going with him when he comes?

Your answer to all of these should be, “Absolutely, yes!”

Now—take inventory. Ask yourself, Do I really believe God is faithful to his
word or do I waver in my trust?

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptation; knowing
this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in
faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like wave of the sea driven
with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any
thing of the Lord” (James 1:2-7).

You can lay hold of God’s wisdom, all the wisdom needed to solve life’s
problems—if you will believe with no wavering by casting your very life and
future on this promise.

God giveth to all men…liberally…wisdom.

My Devotion for the day!!

Good one.....
THE GREATEST DANGER

The greatest danger we all face is not being able to see Jesus in our
troubles—instead we see ghosts. In that peak moment of fear when the night is
the blackest and the storm is the angriest, Jesus always draws near to us, to
reveal himself as the Lord of the flood, the Savior in storms. “The Lord
sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever” (Psalm 29:10).

In Matthew 14, Jesus ordered his disciples into a boat that was headed for a
storm. The Bible says he constrained them to get into a ship. It was headed for
troubled waters; it would be tossed about like a bobbing cork. Where was Jesus?
He was up in the mountains overlooking the sea; he was there, praying for them
not to fail in the test he knew they must go through.

You would think that at least one disciple would have recognized what was
happening and said, “Look friends, Jesus said he would never leave us or
forsake us. He sent us on this mission; we are in the center of his will. He
said the steps of a righteous man are order by himself. Look again. That’s
our Lord! He is right here! We’ve never once been out of his sight.”

But not one disciple recognized him. They did not expect him to be in their
storm. Never, ever did they expect him to be with them, or even near them, in a
storm! But he did come, walking on the water.

There was only one lesson to be learned, only one. It was a simple lesson, not
some deep, mystical, earth-shattering one. Jesus simply wanted to be trusted as
their Lord, in every storm of life. He simply wanted them to maintain their
cheer and confidence, even in the blackest hours of trial. That’s all.

We were in the process of building our church so this video was taken in our temporary church which was NAA office.

"When possible make a U-turn"

I was looking through some old devoitionals that I have and come across this one.....not sure who shared this with me a few years back but thought this was a very good to share....

One of the greatest gadgets I recently received as a gift called a Garmin. A majority of people own these now and the days of getting lost are practically over for the ones who own one. The Garmin is a navigation system giving turn by turn directions to anywhere you want to go. The most popular phrase I hear is, "recalculating." When the driver hears this they know immediately that have missed a turn or made a wrong turn. Once the Garmin recalculates a popular phrase heard is, "When possible make a U-turn." The need to make a U-turn is due to the fact that the driver of the vehicle is headed away from their destination. There are times the Holy Ghost comes to us and could say, "When Possible Make a U-turn." In our spiritual journey we at times will make wrong decisions or miss God's will for our life. When we make these decisions or miss God's will, we find ourselves off course and headed away from God. The good news is that God allows U-turns. The Holy Ghost, is our spiritual navigation system, recalculates for us when we get off course and speaks to our hearts and says, "When possible make a U-turn."

Have a blessed day!
