God, the BEST Boss ever





We have such a loving God.  He cares about each one of us, leads us and guides us, teaches us and stays with us every moment of every day.  He calls us son and daughter, heirs to His kingdom.  Christ calls us brothers and sisters.  It is wonderful to have the ability to enjoy such a close relationship with our Lord.

I think, though, that because of this, we start to think of Him as human.  We bring Him down to our level.  We make Him limited as we are limited.

But God is not limited.
Think about this seriously for a minute.

God       created      EVERYTHING!  The universe, the earth, animals, plants, people, water, sky, clouds, rain, sun, moon, emotions, hair, skin, body parts, physics, laws of nature, relativity, color, light, darkness, medicine, and of course I could go on and on.

God is our LORD,  He is KING,  He controls ALL.

And yet, he loves us, listens to us, and works all things for the good for those who love Him.

Have you ever had a boss that even though they were really important, still talked to the so called "little people", called you by name, asked about your family, and sat with their workers to chat?  Wasn't that the best boss you ever had?

Well that is just a tiny representation of our God.  He is all important, King of the Universe and yet He knows you by name and cares about every detail of your life.

When we talk to our magnificent God, I think it is important to acknowledge Him for who He is before we start asking for favors.  The prayer that Jesus taught His disciples started with "Our father, who art in Heaven HALLOWED (HOLY) be thy name.  Thy KINGDOM come, Thy WILL be done on earth, as it is in heaven"

Let us remember who we are talking to when we address the King and also who we are talking to as our Father in heaven because He is both and He has good plans for us and cherishes us as children, yet is powerful enough to do anything in His will.

It is a difficult concept for us to grasp but what a wonderful God we serve.

Questions:

Do you believe that God can do all things?
Do you believe that He will do them for you?
Do you sometimes make God small?

What the bible says about God: there are so many more

Revelation 22:13English Standard Version 

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end      .”

1 John 3:1-24 ESV 

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 

Colossians 1:16 ESV 

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him



Luke 18:27 ESV 

But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”

1 Timothy 1:17 ESV 

To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen

How Can we follow The Great Commission?

Image
 The Great Commission -  Matthew Chapter 28 18   And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19   Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20   Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,  even  unto the end of the world. Amen. All power is given to Jesus (God) so why isn't life easier for His followers?  Let's start with that question.   We follow Jesus, we love Him, we believe in Him. We try to do what He taught us to do, so if He loves us and He has all power, why is life so difficult? I have been going through some difficult times lately - well, actually - for a few years now.  They are personal, financial, family, and medical and all together, they have beat me down so that some days I don't even feel like getting dressed. Do I ask "Why, Lord?"...

Discernment, what is it and do you have it?

Image
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.  1 John 4:1 What is discernment and do you have it?   1 . the ability to judge well. "He had an astonishing lack of discernment" 2 . (in Christian contexts) perception in the absence of judgment with a view to obtaining spiritual direction and understanding. "without providing for a time of healing and discernment, there will be no hope of living through this present moment without a shattering of our common life" I think the Christian definition above is complicated.  Discernment is when God's Holy Spirit speaks to your heart and tells you something is right or wrong, and the key is the absence of judgment.  A new person shows up at work and we may feel that something is off about this person. Without judgement, but with the kindness that come...

Just an Average Day of little Motivation

Image
  Happy Day,  Today is Wednesday and Wednesdays are usually my day for picking songs for Sunday service, sending messages to the song team, practicing the piano, etc.  But today I'm having difficulty getting motivated.  Do you ever feel that way?  What is it that motivates us or de-motivates us? Believers in Christ or not, we all have days when we just don't care about anything or anybody.  We just want to be left alone.  But why?  And how do we get out of that besides drinking a 5 Hour energy drink (which I have already done today). Let's go to God's word and see what He says about it. Did you know you can google "what does the bible say about___________" and put in any subject and look under Bible Hub for a bunch of scriptures? Or go directly to Biblehub.  Here are just a few of what God has to say about the lack of motivation. First - I always wonder why am I so unmotivated? And God says... Trust in the  Lord  with all your heart...
