CONTENT ?

“I will be content . . . “

OR

“I am content.”

– – –

Take time to reflect.

Wait on God.

“Trust in the Lord, . . .”
. . . don’t lean on your . . .
— your anything
— your thinking
— your understanding
— your abilities
— your figuring it out
— your health
— your strength
— your goals
— your position
— your success
— your money
— your insurance
— your retirement
— your . . .

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”

If we do not stop to consciously, verbally, recognize our dependence on God, our trust in Him “in all our ways”, in every detail—then we are not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

ALL – – – or – – – NOTHING

“Be still, and know that I AM God.”

SAFE ? or DANGEROUS ?

Jesus – – – Safe ? or Dangerous ?
Following Jesus – – – Safe ? or Dangerous ?
Your Life – – – Safe ? or Dangerous ?
– – –
Safe is Dangerous, for a Christian.

Why are churches not getting burned and pastors not attacked ?
Because churches and pastors are not the threat that they should be.”
—–Steve Deace, on afr

GREATEST OBSTACLE TO READING THE BIBLE

When you don’t ‘HAVE TO’ read the Bible.
When you aren’t serious, desperate for answers found only in the Bible.

SPARED FOR A PURPOSE

“I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.”
