Got questions, ask God

We had Vacation Bible School at our church this week. The motto of the week was "Got questions, ask God". How simple and awesome is this statement? So many times we worry and try to figure everything out on our own instead of praying about it. One of the skits was about someone flipping a coin to decide what they were going to be when they grow up. We may not flip a coin, but have you ever said, "If this happens, it was ment to be?" Instead if saying things like that or relying on fate, pray and put it in the hands of our very real, living God! We also learned the simple truths that God made us, God loves us, and God has a plan for us. Again, simple but very powerful statements. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." If He already knows the plans He has for us, doesn't it make more sense to ask Him to show us?

Until the Whole World Hears

According to Rick Warren, new Christians are welcomed in China by telling them Jesus now has new eyes to see with, new ears to listen with, new hands to help with, and a new heart to love others with. This analogy really stood out to me and made me think. Have I used my entire body and mind to serve Christ today? Not at all! Have I spoken like Christ, seen with His eyes, or used my heart to love others like He does today? NO! But, I know with His help I can try and use the rest of the day to serve Him in some way. In Mark 16:15, Jesus gives us the commandment to, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Our job in this world is not to earn money, have a big house, advance in our career, get married, or even have children; our main responsibility is to tell everyone about our Savior, Jesus Christ! Why wouldn’t we want to tell everyone about His overflowing love for us! He comforts the sick, gives strength to the weak, and empowers the hopeless! He is calling you today to come to Him! If you have drifted away, He wants you to come back to Him – Just as you are!!! He truly loves us in sickness, in health, and for richer or poorer! He is the only thing we have that will never leave or forsake us! If you don’t know Jesus as your friend, don’t waste another minute! Accept Him today! Cry out to Him and He will answer you!
