Sometimes life can get difficult rather quickly. There will be times of joy, but there will also be times of hardship and sorrow. The world is on a downward slide. The world has come to the point of where it is calling things that are good evil and the things that are evil good. People for the most part are doing what is right in their own eyes instead of paying any attention to what God requires or wants. The Lord is not to be mocked.
We will all someday have to stand before the Creator of all things and give an account of the lives we lived here on the earth. We have a choice either to believe and obey the Lord God and what He says in His Holy Word, the Bible or we can follow our sinful fleshly desires and face eternal separation from the Living God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23)
We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of the glory of God. We can't save ourselves. We need a Savior and thankfully God provided us One. God demonstrated His great love towards us by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, into this world to save us from our sins by dying on the Cross and shedding His blood. Jesus took the punishment that we each deserve.
We must receive Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior by faith. We need to trust in His grace through faith. Then we must continue to live for Him by reading the Word and being led by the Holy Spirit.
It is important to know where we stand with the Lord and we can know that if we have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and we are trusting in His finished work alone then we are children of God and we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. When live gets difficult and it will we never have to go through the hard times alone for the Lord will be with us each step of the way.
My brother and I took my mother down state to a doctors appointment and found out that the growth that was removed a few weeks ago turns out to be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma low grade which is the type of cancer that she had a few years ago and was treated for. It went away after those treatments, but now this shows up. She feels good and she moves around great. We have to take her back down state and run more test, but I know the Lord will see us through this trial just as He has done every time in the past. God is good and He is faithful. We can trust Him.
I would like to ask for prayers for my mother and my family. I would also ask for prayers for myself in regarding God's will for my life to be made clear to me. I thank you all for your prayers and thank you for reading my blog. May the Lord use these blog postings to bring Him Honor, Glory, and Praise.
Lord,
You are Holy and Just in Your judgments.
I praise Your Holy Name.
Lead us deeper into Your Word.
Help us to show the love of Jesus to those all around the world.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
