Our possessions can possess us.
Carry your own cross. God doesn't give us what we can handle; God helps us handle what is given to us. Take care of what you're supposed to take care of.
Discipleship – Prioritize God and the work of God. Jesus calls us to prioritize. Make your Faith a priority in your life.
God may answer prayers in a way we may not expect. See differently than what we are thinking.
Luke reminds us that Jesus is a Prophet. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise. Following Jesus sometimes means we are carrying a cross.
True Greatness Is Found In Service
There is NOTHING in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self. – Ernest Hemingway
The more I know HIM, the more I believe in HIM. Take the time to get to know HIM.
In everything you do, act without grumbling or arguing; prove yourselves innocent and straightforward children of God beyond reproach in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation — among whom you shine like the stars in the sky.
All things work for the good of those who love God.
John saw nothing and believed. Blessed are those who have not seen but Believe. Belief is expressed freely. Enjoy The Not Seeing and Believing.
Jesus said to his disciples: “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?
Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.
But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear?’ All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”
