THE PRESENCE

 All through the Bible we are encourage to make the presence of the Lord the place where we live, abide, and lodge.  Why should we do that?  In this world today, there are many issues, most of which will cause you fear, frustration, disgust, anger and stress. Only in the presence of God do we find peace, comfort, joy, and hope.  In these busy days, we must TAKE time to come with thanksgiving and praise in our hearts and rest in His presence.  If we will do that we will find that a lot of things that cause us stress are no longer stressful, because God’s presence has set us free from that stress.

GLORIFY THE LORD

 Let us remember from day to day, to give glory unto the Lord that is due to His Name.  Psalm 96:7-10 KJV Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.  Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.  O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him all the earth.  Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously

LIFE

 LIFE!  Sometimes it seems that we are going in all directions.  On every hand demands are being made on us that brings us to the point of total frustration and sometimes anger.  What are we to do?  We are supposed to be the ADULTS in this situation!  You may be thinking I wish I was a kid again, but that is not the way life is.  In these times we must go to Jesus and He will give us rest.  Rest for our minds, our wills, and our emotions so that we can go on with life in victory.  Don’t let the “stuff” of life get you down.  Jesus said to come to Him and He will, not maybe He will or He might, He WILL give you rest!
