Is the Lord among us or not? Exodus 17:7
What you get out of life is really up to you. What approach will you take? Faith or unbelief? Moses called this place where God gave the miracle of water out of the rock ” Meribah” which means “chiding’. Why was it not called “House of waters” (Beth-beer) or House of God’s provision
( Beth-el-jireh)? … but because they left a bad memory of bitter complaining.
How do I look at my present lot? God is real. Believe in Him and look back later at the miracle of life rather than the
at the trials .Rather than shame for complaining, you will have a moment of faith and praise for what God did through the
valley. God always rewards faith. Hebrews 11:6 Have a blessed day.
The duty of a steward
Matthew 25:14-30, by application, gives the account of the reactions of church members to their Lord in response to His giving to them gifts. These gifts could be anything from money to extra time or talents. Each was given as an extra for the purpose of investing.It was not for personal wealth, but for the Master’s use. What is my attitude toward my opportunities, talents and possessions? Self centered- or the responsible steward?
No good thing will he withhold
“… from them that walk uprightly” Psalm 84:11
“Uprightly” means walking with wisdom and courage that truth will give to you. Guilt from sin as well as a fainting heart from difficulties in life can move us from a life of faith and obedience easily.To spend time in prayer and in reading the Word daily is the best tool maintain a healthy mind and heart. Christian fellowship- Hebrews 10:25, I John 1:7- is often key to optimism and encouragement as well. That hope of good things from God,
as this verse promises,often keeps the heart sure even when the winds of trouble blow around. Pray for one another. Christian love, Brother Jones
