How many of you needed to do something yesterday but you found every excuse possible to put it off till today. If i had a nickel for every time I had done this I would be rich. For me its dusting the house. How many times have you told someone you would pray for them and then you put it off and then just totally forgot. That can be a serious problem for the person needing that prayer if God was waiting for you to be a faithful servant. We can't procrastinate in choosing to serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the God which your Father served that were on the other side of the flood, or the Gods of the Amorites, in who's land ye dwell; but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
What would happen if God procrastinated? You need surgery today, but He don't have time to hear prayers for you today, would you want to go under the knife? How would that feel to know He just don't have time for you? Maybe its your mom or dad in need of Gods help, will you trust the doctor without being able to go to God, to only be told sorry i don't have time today. Well Praise God you don't have to do that for see God doesn't put your life at risk by procrastinating. How do i know this, well His Holy word tells me Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; thought it tarry' wait for it because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
Is today your day to accept Jesus into your heart, or will you put that off too. No one can procrastinate forever.
Revelation 10:6 tells us time be be no longer. Don't putt off today what you should do today, for it is your life that is at stake.
Jesus loves you, today, tomorrow and always. Love yourself and give your heart to God.
Working with the Lord daily and seeing what is in the shadows to my life and others brings us to daily word and understanding of the need to have God in our lives.

Fishermen
As I sit on the balcony in Destin Florida overlooking the beautiful green blue waters of the ocean I see many boats, all fishing vessels and i think back of Jesus and the fishermen of old days. All these hundred of years later and God is till providing fish for His people. What a generous God we serve. My God is too good to even be described, never once has He let me down, or strayed me in the wrong direction. God helps people when they are in trouble, He is all. Knowing our provider, God is love.
Our gulf is in a crisis with the oil spill, many of Gods creations are being destroyed, however God will supply the needs for this mess, for He is full of grace, and His grace supplies hope. I hope the leaders of BP look to God with integrity and respect and ask for His wisdom to clean this up without any more destruction to Gods bountiful beauty. I ask in prayer today for help for those trying to help and for authority to solve these problems in hand. As these fisherman are out working today I ask for Gods hand in the nets and on the poles that fish will be abundant. In all things I give Thanks, Glory and Praise in Jesus Holy Name. Amen!

Moses and the Burning Bush
Exodus 3
This is a story of when Moses was out minding his own business tending his father n law Jethro's flock. Moses had taken the flock pretty far out into the wilderness when before him was the mountain of God (Sinai) out of nowhere and angel appears to Moses in a blazing fire in the midst of a bush. Moses was so amazed he wanted to go closer to see what was going on. He just couldn't understand why the bush wasnt engulfed and burning up. As he gets closer the bush God calls to him Moses! Moses! Moses tells God I am here. He warns Moses not to come any closer. He tells him to take off his shoes for he stands on Holy ground. He lets Moses know He is the God of His Father. Moses is so asoutnded he covers his face. God is here this day to tell Moses he is to go and lead his people of Israel out of Egypt.
When was the last time God came before you? Did you listen? Did you tell Him no, I can't as Moses does? Will you give the message that God gives Moses to let them know that it is Him. "I AM WHO I AM" or will you walk away and pretend to yourself God really doesn't talk to me?
I lift my hands to the Heavens today and ask that God use me as He did Moses and that He won't allow me to walk away when He speaks to me. I hope to hear that each of you ask God to speak to you as well, and more importantly that you hear what He has to say. God bless you!

Music
We all love to listen to our favorite music. We have songs to dance with, songs to relax us, then there is our favorite, for me thats country. The churchs of today play modern, with all the instruments, of course some still play the old timey religious gospel. When was the last time you played music for God?
In the book of Exodus chapter 15 verse 1 and 2 we find Moses and the children of Israel singing to the Lord. what a beautiful song they are singing...The Lord is my strength and song and he is become my salvation; He is become my salvation: He is my God, and i will prepare him an habitation; my Father's God, and i will exalt him. Read 3-6, to get the rest of the song. In colossians chapter 16 we learn that we should let the message of Christ dwell in us. Listen to this. vs 16, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing once another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Take time today and give thanks unto the Lord with a song. A song of heart, sing out His praises with no shame in your voice or heart, Let others listen. If only one hears and receives Christ thru the merriment of your song, how happy will your Father in Heaven be?
Sing praises, Holy, Holy, Holy is thy name! Amen

Psalm 91:11 Gods love
Today some wonder if God really cares for them, others feel as if an angel is watching over them, me i feel afraid, afraid of failure, afraid of success. In whom shall comfort succumb? Where shall I turn?
He that dewlleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thy shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
Nor the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastest at noonday:
Verse 11: For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thess in all thy ways.
Please read the entire verse and remember God is your Protector. Jesus loves you my friends as do I.
God bless you!

Complain, Complain and Complain
I find myself complaining about everything. I think back just a couple of months agao when it was cold, how i complained that I couldnt' wait to feel the sun again. Well its warm now, so what do i do? I complain, I can't get comfortable, Im sweaty, if i could just sleep, its so hot. As i write this i am laughing at myself. Least i have a roof over my head, their are many who don't. How foolish was the complaining now? The book of Psalms tells us to bring our complaints to God, in chapter 142, verse 1 and 2...
I cried unto the Lord with my voice, with my voice unto the Lord but I make my supplication. I pourded out my complaint before him, I shewed before him my trouble.
As i was studyung tonight I came to a scripture that tells me that a christian should not complain to another christian. When i realize what this is saying i feel so weak, for its so true, and i am so guilty. We should be encouraging each other, lifting each other up in prayer. Phillippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings, vs 15 That ye may be blameless and harless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
Wow! Those scriptures summarize it for me, I hope it does for you as well. I want the world to see Gods shine in my eyese whey they look at me. I want to have christians around me whom want to encourage me, as i want to repay with love, understanding and encouragement for all.
God bless you this day!

"Comfort"
Sometimes all we need is a little comfort from a family member or even a friend. I find I have fair-weather friends. You know those that come around when they are down, or they are in need themselves. As a christian we are suppose to be there for them. In the book of Job, Chapter 12 vs 11 you will find where we are told this: Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was to come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Elipaz the Termanite, and Bildad, the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamahite; for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
You will see in vs 12, they even wept when they saw him far off. In vs 13 they sat with him for seven days and seven nights; for they could tell he was in great pain from grief.
How many of you would give up your time for a friend? Even a day. Seems these days we all say love you and tell each other you are my friend. however when it comes a time that we or they are needed, no where to be found is where we all are. Where was you the last time a friend reached out to you? Take time and think aobut this then give it to God and ask how you too can come to change and be a better friend and christian. I know I now will give all my friendships to God and not take them for granite anymore. I found through writing this that God's Holy Spirit is my comforter. In John 14:16 it reads: And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter that He may abide with you forever.
Take time today and thank God for all your friends. God bless you today my friends!
