Showers of Blessings

“I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” - Eze_34:26 There is a season for every purpose. God created the seasons and separated them all for a reason. We know that when spring comes, it is a time for planting. New life will begin during spring and the rain that comes in spring waters the seeds that grow and bring life. The life of a believer is no different. God sends the rain when it is needed. If we have stayed in one place for too long, God will send something to us to make us move. Sometimes he will go to extreme measures to get us where we need to be, but in the end, the rain is showers of blessings.

Faithfulness of God

“I will never leave thee.” - Heb_13:5 God never left anyone holding the bag. He never left anyone when the going got tough. In fact, He never left anyone at all. Those who are distant from God are the ones who left Him. We walk away from Him even as He calls out to us trying to get us to listen and heed His word. This shows the faithfulness of God. Even as we are unfaithful and go after strange gods, God still reaches out to us. Let us decide to be faithful servants and take God at His Word. Let us walk in faith, doing those things that God has commended unto us to do. The reward is worth all that we go through.

“He hath said.” - Heb_13:5 Lately my Pastor says, "Why not take God at His Word?" during a sermon. I agree that we should always take God at His word. if God speaks it, I want to believe it. Too many times in our lives we see that God has spoken but we refuse to believe it. We want things done our way. We shake our fist at God and go our own way. During times like this God will allow us to go our own way, just as the father allowed the prodigal son to leave. We use up what we had coming to us by living riotously and in sin. God will allow us to come back to Him once we come to our own selves first. Don't you think it is time to come back to God? You have been away long enough now. Do not stay away any longer. Believe what God said because He is true. He does not let you down like men do. He is not a man that He should lie.

The Comforter

“God, that comforteth those that are cast down.” - 2Co_7:6 Remember when you were a child and skinned your knee or got hurt in some way? Nothing could comfort you like mom could. She knew just the right words to say and how to treat your wounds. God is like a mother because He knows how to comfort those who have been cast down. Jesus told His disciples that He must go away but that He would pray to the Father to send another comforter. The Holy Ghost can comfort us like no one else can. He knows what we need even before we do. He has the power to comfort when things seem to be the worst they have even been. Let us let God comfort us when we feel cast down, trodden underfoot, hurt, bruised and abused. No one can help us like He can.

Finding Family

“He first findeth his own brother Simon.” - Joh_1:41 I remember when i first gave my life to Jesus. The first thing I did when I got home from the service was to call some of my family and told them. It was important that they find out as soon as possible. Some of my family at the time was still lost. These are the ones who needed to hear it most. If we get to the point that we do not have a burden for our own family, we are in a very bad place. The Bible asks us a question. How can we love God whom we have not seen when we do not love our brothers whom we have seen? Let us get our families upon our hearts and tell them about Jesus and His saving grace.

The Well

“Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.”
- Gen_25:11

I looked up Lahi-roi in the Hebrew dictionary. This is what it says, "H883
בּאר לחי ראי
be'êr lȧchay rô'ı̂y
BDB Definition:
Beer-lahai-roi = “well of the Living One seeing me”
1) a well west of Kadesh, south of Israel"

The living well is the one we should dwell at. Jesus spoke of rivers of living water flowing from those who believe in Him. (Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. )

We need these living waters because we do not need to eat or drink death. Jesus conquered death and is alive forevermore.

There is a song by Casting Crowns titled The Well. The message of the song is pretty simple to understand. "Leave it all behind and come to the well."

Let's leave the past in the past where it belongs and press toward the mark as Paul did.

Walking With Jesus

“And they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”
- Act_4:13

Peter, when denying the Lord, was betrayed by his own speech. Those who try to say they do not know the Lord after being with Him, give their own selves away simply by the way they speak. We cannot deny our relationship with Jesus in truth once we have become acquainted with Him.

Everyone who met Jesus was changed in one way or another. Some were changed spiritually to the point of salvation while others who denied His power were made even more corrupt than they were previously.

It is time to believe what Jesus said and come back to Him. Solomon wrote, "All is vanity." Life itself is self serving and in vain if we refuse so great a salvation in Jesus Christ.

To God be the Glory

“To him be glory both now and forever.”
- 2Pe_3:18

In the end, God will get the glory whether we believe in Him or not. Everything that works, works because of God. There is nothing that goes on that God does not know about.

We may as well join with Him to honor and magnify Him. For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Salvation is just a prayer away. That is how close it is to you. The time is now for now has the day of salvation come to you.

Be Content

“I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.”
- Phi_4:11

It is easy to go around saying I need this or I need that when we have made it without those items for all of our lives. We don't really need every new item that comes available.

We should be content with what God has allowed us to have because much of what we have we do not need. Let us be thankful for all we have. Be in a state of contentment and have an attitude of gratitude.
