What a weird week I have had. Some days were good, others were very bad. It was a rollercoaster ride.

It is very hard to face each day not knowing what kind of day it might be.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had this happen to you? Have you had days you would rather have stayed in bed?

You certainly are not alone. They are things happening in our lives that drag us down.

Inflation, wars, gas prices, southern board, country shutting down, and many more problems.

No wonder that so many people feel lost.

__________________________________________________________________________

We all have to be strong, and pray for help from God. He wants what is best for us. He will not forsake you or abandon you.

Lean on God. Cry out to Him for Help.

The Bible says that when you are weak, then you are strong. Doesn’t sound right does it?

It is true though. When we, as Christians are down and out, we turn to God and He gives us strength.

Thoughts:

  1. God doesn’t choose the few who are qualified, he Qualifies the the few that He chooses. (Peter, David, Paul)
  2. We need to grow completely dependent on God.
  3. Know that you have been called by God to do greatness.
  4. Truth faith will not happen without facts to go by.
  5. True faith takes us beyond mere facts to trust.

I did some ranting in my last post. Sounds like I thought the world was coming to a horrible end.

I will be more optimistic today.

I am on vacation this week with my family. We are at Sun River, Oregon. A beautiful setting, and lots of fun for everyone.

As I look out the window I see deer grazing. Chipmunks climbing, and people riding their bikes. Perfect weather.

When I see all of this I am thankful for the years I served my country in the military. There isn’t too many countries that have the freedoms that we have. Thank a veteran for that.

Have you had days where you would rather stay in bed all day rather than face the world? I have been there. I won’t go into the reasons I sometimes feel that way, but we need to get past those days.

My way of handling it is pray! I pray to go to help me through the day. I ask him to soften some pain I may be going through. He knows our hurts and disappointments. He loves us, and will answer our prayers.

It seems to me that we are living in a progressively failing world. So much is not going right around our country.

  1. Iran is pushing hard to capture our merchant ships that are not even in their area.
  2. Russia, is still trying to overcome Ukraine. It is a bloody battle.
  3. China is circling Taiwan and getting closer to attacking them.
  4. North Korea is still shotting missiles even thought the US wants them to stop.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

There are four possible wars right there.

__________________________________________________________________________________

In our country there is:

  1. High inflation.
  2. High gas prices.
  3. Grocery bills skyrocketing.
  4. Interest rates are soaring, making it very hard to buy a home.
  5. Norms are collapsing.

___________________________________________________________________________________

It is hard to be optimistic in this kind of environment.

____________________________________________________________________________________

It is time for prayer!! We need to ask God for His intervention. He knows what is going on. He knows things are not all good.

Why does He allow all this to happen? It is because He gave us all choices. We can decide what to do, and then face the consequences later. We need just to put up with our pleas for Him to have mercy on those who love Him.

Worshipping by Faith is Recognizing God for Who He is.

When we look at the story of Abel from Genesis 4, we can see what it looks like to worship by faith. Worship is the recognition of God for who He is, what He has done and what we are trusting Him to do in the future.

Sometimes worship is private meditation. Other times it can be a celebration. But it is always done in recognition that He alone deserves our worship because He is the only true God. Worship was established in the early chapters of Genesis as we see Abel bringing “the firstlings of his flock” to offer to God. He is viewed as a righteous man in Hebrews 11 because he gave God the best that he had. He gave to God first, honoring God’s person and position.

If you want meaning in your life, then you are going to have to learn to worship by faith. That means that you aren’t just seeking after feelings when you worship. You don’t have to feel like you want to praise Him in order to lift up your voice in worship. Truth be told, we all sometimes don’t feel much emotion in our worship. That’s okay. We do it because we need to do it. We need to worship . . . and, Scripture tells us, God seeks worshipers.

So, let’s worship by faith. Don’t make your feelings the engine. Keep them as the caboose. They’re still attached to the train, but they don’t run the show. Worshiping by faith is an investment of your time, not merely a spending of it. And good investments always pay good dividends.

When your doctor examines you, having a good appetite is considered one of the indicators of your health. Consistent loss of appetite is, on the other hand, an indication of a deeper problem. That’s why one of the first questions a nurse or a doctor will ask when you go in for a visit is about your appetite.

Similarly, your spiritual appetite is one of the great indicators of your spiritual health. If you experience no appetite for God, then you are revealing your lack of connection to Him.

We live in a day when most of us don’t have to worry about being hungry for very long. Most people in the Western world have plentiful access to food. Sure, we may be inconvenienced by the time it takes to go to a store or restaurant, but very few of us in our nation know true physical hunger.
It wasn’t like that in biblical days when there were no freezers or refrigerators. People had to hustle after food day in and day out because it couldn’t typically be preserved for extended periods of time. In addition, food preparation was often laborious and lengthy. Little was wasted when little is all they had.

Real hunger can be so deep and so gnawing that it can literally hurt, keeping someone awake all night. This is the hunger and the thirst Jesus spoke about. He told us that when it comes to the spiritual realm, we are blessed if we have this kind of hunger and thirst. We are blessed if we passionately desire righteousness.

So, what are you hungry for? What do you thirst for? What’s your spiritual appetite like?

Jesus Said, “Blessed are those who Mourn, They Will be Comforted.

Despair is not the end of the story in our lives. It is simply the occasion when our spiritual senses are awakened to behold new, life-giving dimensions of God’s presence. In Jesus’s words, “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.”

That seems hard to believe! You are comforted when you mourn?

Life is fragile and all too brief. According to the Psalmist, our lifetimes are a “mere breath.” We may perhaps live into our seventies or eighties “by reason of strength,” but our experience is generally full of “toil and trouble” (Ps. 39:5Ps. 90:10). Sometimes life leaves you weeping in the dark.

Then I imagined God saying: Keep pedaling, son, despite your fears. I know all the bumps in the road, and, although you falter and even wipe out, my grace encircles you to the end.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

We have all faced times that we had to mourn. It is not a pleasant time.

The above message is telling us that God is saying “Keep pedaling.” Keep on keeping on.

God is with you 24/7. Even when we mourn. Pray to Him for strength through the tough times.

My last post was my story about having a miracle happen. God is so good.

Well, I have a new affliction knocking at my door. I have tendinopathy in my left rotator cuff.

it is very painful at times, but I have learned not to move my left arm quickly. I do it in slow motion now.

Don’t think I will need surgery, because some therapists can fix it I am told.

I will keep you updated.

I have been following the war in Ukraine. Putin doesn’t call it a war, but it is. From what I have seen I believe Putin is losing badly.

He will be tried as a war criminal, I am sure. So many civilians Tortured, raped and killed. No reason for that. Bombing of apartment homes, killing many.

God knows what is happening there, and He will deal with Putin at the proper time.

Why has He allowed all of this to happen? It is because he allows us to choose what we want to do. He gives us choices, and then we answer to Him for what choices we made.

Pray for the Ukrainian people.

I am a member of a private group called RallyPoint. It is for qualified military people only.

What I have found is that many of the veterans on there are Christians. There many republicans too.

I enjoy sharing thoughts with them daily.

_________________________________________________________________________________

How are you doing? Are you battling afflictions like I am. Do you feel you have more than your share of pain?

Always remember God is with you 24/7. He know your pains, and knows your disappointments. Ask Him to help you through prayer.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I want to share with you a miracle that happened to me.

I had severe pain on my right hip. I couldn’t walk. The pain pills weren’t working very well.

I went to a orthopedic doctor, and he said I needed surgery. I needed a hip replacement.

I had a preop appointment with him. The next time I saw him, I was going to be on the operating table.

My primary doctor, told the surgeon that he wanted me to see another doctor first.

That doctor was a pain management doctor. I met with him, and he said something that put me in shock. He wanted me to cut back on my pain pills!

I went home and decided that I was going to stop all pains pills to see what happens. The next morning I got up, and there was no pain in my hip!! That was three weeks ago, and I haven’t had any pain what’s so ever.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Was this a miracle or was the orthopedic doctor just wanting to make some money?

I decided it was a miracle! God had touched me and set me free of the pain. There is no other way to explain it. From severe pain to no pain. That is hard to explain, except a miracle.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Just to let you know…you may have physical battles, but your spiritual battles are even tougher.

Thoughts…

  1. Break the unbreakable.
  2. Move the unmovable.
  3. From the impossible, we will have a miracle.

You are never alone.
