IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES
*****************
‘Twas the morning after Christmas
When all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring
Dog… cat…or mouse!
Well…except for me, of course; I’m mom! Read more…
A ratty old shack
On the poor side of town;
No Christmas lights
Anywhere to be found.
Inside it’s doors,
Lived a family of four;
Wanting…and hungry…
So very poor!
I remember it well, Read more…
Have you ever felt like you have given your all and yet no one appreciates what you do? And just when you feel that your making some progress everything seems to be shot down. When you’re overwhelmed and distressed it seems as if everyone is against you, suddenly you discover there is no one to turn to for comfort or help in your trouble, no one but God.
We read in 1 Samuel 30 that David felt the same way we do at times. But David discovered that when there is no one to stand by you or to encourage you that sometimes you just have to learn how to strengthen yourself in the Lord.
David and his men had returned home to Ziklag to find that the Amalekites had been there and they had raided and burned the city of Ziklag.

I was remembering some of my old life yesterday, and how chaotic it all was. There wasn’t much good to be found. Yes, I was still breathing…but I wasn’t ALIVE! After pondering on that for most of the day, I went to bed last night thinking about how sweet life is with Jesus. HE changed everything for me! It reminded me of the following Country Western song I heard many years ago. “At the time”, I thought I loved my life when Satan was my master, but since I met Jesus…I know I was barely surviving.
Take a look at the words with a spiritual view, and see if you don’t agree with me! Words in parenthesis are mine…. -anita
Cain did not get himself in trouble, when he killed his brother, he was already in trouble.
There were signs previous to his deadly and murderous encounter with his brother, which showed Cain was not right with God, and he was not obedient to God.
Short and to the point, are we right with God tonite? You see, regardless of what we believe, there is no such thing as a little sin or big sin. All sin is equal to God.
