Blessing God!

Blessing God!

We all need a little encouragement and some of my greatest encouragement comes from taking time daily to read and meditate on the Scriptures.  I am loving this passage of Scripture and thought that it might be a blessing to some of you as well!  It comes from 1 Peter 1:3-5

3.) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4.) to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, 5.) who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

So Thankful! I am thankful for God’s blessing on my life and I want my life to be a blessing to Him.  God has blessed me with His great gift of mercy and caused me to be born again to a living a hope that never dies!  I do not deserve and I cannot earn a relationship with Him, but through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, I have been blessed with an everlasting relationship!

An Imperishable Inheritance! This relationship will allow me to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and that will not fade away.  This inheritance is reserved for me in Heaven.  I will not have to fight for it and I do not have to worry about anyone taking it away from me!

God’s Protection! I am protected by the power of God through the faith that He has provided.  My salvation does so much more than get me out of Hell and into Heaven.  My salvation moves me from death to life and grows me for service to the King!  I want to be and I am ready whenever God decides to come, not because of what I have done, but because of what He has done for me!

Blessing God! We bless God when we make the choice to live in the power of our right relationship with Him!

Something Different!

4 Comments

I thought I would share something a little bit different today!  I love photography and I am what you might call an amateur photographer, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you!

Wisdom!

Faithful! This is a tree in the field beside my house.  I have had many a conversations with God while just standing and looking at this tree.  It has always been there and is always there whenever I need it to be and so is He!

Possibilities! This was my Uncle’s truck and then it became my Dad’s truck and now it is sitting in my back yard.  I have seen it go through several transformations and I look forward to one day taking it through a transformation myself.  Would love to get it back to my Dad’s shop for a Pop’s and Son project!

Chrome! One of my favorite colors!  This is the motor of my 08 Heritage Softail!  I love to ride and being able to ride during the last couple of years has probably helped me to not go totally bonkers!  If I have to explain, then you would not understand!

Wisdom! This is one of my neighbors and she has forgotten in her life time more than I can remember.  As I look in the mirror, I am discovering that every line has a story to tell and a lesson to learn!  Thank God for our Elders and what we can learn from them!

This is just a few and if you like this format, then let me know.  I may try to do something like this once a week or two in the future!  I hope my blog in some way blesses you!  Thanks for looking and reading!

Got A Goal?

Achieve Your Dream - Accomplish Your Goals!

Do you have a dream?  Do you have any goals that can help that dream become a reality?  Many people who I talk to have lost their dream and given up on their goals.  Today – I want to challenge you to dream again!  I want to encourage you to set, work toward and accomplish the great things that God has in store for you!  So read on, dream on and get to work on some goals!

Don’t Give Up! It is really hard to believe, but there are a lot of people living in our world today that have never set a goal.  So many people have given up on dreams, so they just don’t dream anymore.  The challenges and frustrations of the world that we live in, have caused many people to throw in the towel and just take whatever life may bring their way!  There is nothing wrong with learning to be content, but at the same time, we should know, trust and believe that God has something better!

Goals Matter! Having a goal is a natural part of life!  God has goals!  Look around you at His creation and you will see that He has short, medium and even long-term goals!  God’s ultimate goal is that man will come to know Him in a real and personal way.  It is God’s goal that each and every one of us might know His love and enjoy His friendship.

Blessing! God wants to bless you!  Part of you’re getting to the place of receiving God’s blessing is wrapped up in your setting and working toward the accomplishment of goals!

A Few Steps: First – Talk To God! Ask God to help you discover and develop some worthy and meaningful goals.  Ask God to help you in working toward the accomplishment of these goals.  Second – Get a blank sheet of paper and dream a little bit! What would you like to see happen in your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, social and financial life?  Third – Get To Work! “A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step!”   Start taking the steps!  And as you begin to accomplish and achieve the things that God has put in front of you, make sure to give God glory as He works to feel your life with His blessing!
