What Happens When You Lose It?

Deuteronomy 32:2- “Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.”

You may lose your temper. Or, your patience.

Perhaps even your self-control.

You don’t mean to. You’re sorry. 

Sometimes it happens—too often.

How do you get back in control?

Hoping you’ll do better next time won’t cut it because you’ve already hurt someone you love—either physically or emotionally.

If it’s happened once too often, you may have lost their trust… their friendship… or even a marriage.

Counseling seemed to help for awhile, but you eventually quit because of the expense or because you thought you didn’t need it any longer.

But, soon, you’re back into your old pattern of yelling or withdrawing or abusing.

Maybe you should try God.

The Bible says He wants you to cry out to Him for help in all situations. There is nothing you tell Him that will surprise Him. There’s nothing He’s not equipped to handle.

He’s impartial. He’s all-knowing. He’s all powerful. 

He is your creator and savior.

And, as incredible as it sometimes seems, HE LOVES YOU.

Will you let Him teach you from His Word?

Message in the Stars

Psalm 19:1- “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”

As my husband drives, one of my favorite things to do is watch the moon and stars, thanking God for these beautiful points of light created so long ago for our pleasure.

But the Bible tells us that they have also been put in the skies to declare God’s presence and glory.

If you are “into” astrological signs, keep reading.

I am betting you aren’t aware that the entire story of creation through the events in the book of Revelation have been written in the stars so that we would know of God’s great love.

Here are some fascinating books that go into this amazing truth in great detail. Warning: you will not be able to put them down:

The Real Meaning of the Zodiac by Dr. James Kennedy (out of print, but you may find in church libraries or used bookstores. Originally printed in a special TBN edition).

The Heavens Declare by William D. Banks.

Witness of the Stars by E.W. Bullinger.

The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss.

How Deep? How High?

30977839481_cac9487f3d

 

Romans 3:39- Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

Wow! There’s nothing so high or so deep that it could keep God’s love from reaching us.

If we would try to contain God’s love, we’d need quite a container.

How tall would it be?

The heavens are calculated to be 46 billion light years higher than earth.

How deep?

The average depth of the ocean is about 12,100 feet, or 2.3 miles. The deepest part of the ocean, called the Challenger Deep, is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 36,200 feet deep.

It’s impossible for us to even begin to understand just how vast an area that is!

But, we can be assured that

God loves us.

He’s got more than enough love to go around.

He’ll never run out of love.

Even if we wanted to avoid His love, we couldn’t.

Nothing can separate us from God’s love.
