Have you been outside this morning? It is an absolutely amazing and beautiful day here in the upstate! The sun is shining an comforting warmness! The breeze is blowing a gentle coolness! The birds are singing and if you open you eyes and look around, you will notice that everything is beginning to come back to life! I love this time of year, because you see Resurrection all around you!
Go outside today and enjoy some of the Resurrection reminders that God has placed all around you! And don’t forget to set you clock forward tonight. We are going to have a great day at church tomorrow and I can almost guarantee that there will be no snow this Sunday! So the only thing to keep you from being here is the devil and I know that you want let Him win!
Remember that prayer that became popular a few years ago? Still need a little help? The Prayer of Jabez found in 1 Chronicles 4:10! I thought about it today and it has always been a good prayer and still is today! It goes: “Bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.”
Remember: God wants to bless you! Everything belongs to God and He has given you a great big universe to run around and serve Him in. He wants His hand upon you – so stop running away from Him. He is here to help you, not to hurt you! He wants to keep you away from evil, but you have to remember to help yourself. And when you do help yourself by obeying Him, you will free yourself, as well as others from a lot of pain!
