What beauty do you see in the simple things of life?

When you see a field of roses, do you see their beauty or are you concerned with the thorns?

 Can you see the wildflower in the weed?

When you see the clouds gathering for a storm, do you see the cold wind blowing, or do you see the nourishment the earth needs, in order to produce beautiful trees and flowers and water to give the animals a drink.

 What is your perspective on whatever your eyes see?  Do you see the good that can come from it?
Is it positive or negative? 

 Genesis 1:29-31
And God said,"see, I have given every herb that yields seed which is on the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
"Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life.  I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. So the evening and morning were the sixth day.

Beloved, always look for the good in everything. It may look terrible now, but God, He knows what He is allowing and for what reason. He gave us beautiful roses with thorns.

 We may not understand it, but He has a purpose beyond our reasoning. So be thankful for all God gives us.

 Example: 
A few years back we had a horrible flood and hail storm. The house we bought was older and needed a new roof and much more repairs, it was a fixer-upper.
We had five skylights, all were destroyed and water poured into the house. 
To make a long story short, our insurance covered everything, that we could not afford to do at the time.

 So you see beloved, there was good that came out of the storm. 
Everyone effected received new roofs, the roofing companies had more work than normal, as did the carpenters.

 Since it was early spring, people had more work provided, what looked bad actually turned out for good good.

 Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of a good report.  If there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things.

 Beloved, if we will but think before we react to anything, we will see the good as well as the bad.
But we are to think on the good, find the good, it will be there.

 When we think on the good, (Remember Joseph) and ask God to show us the good, He will, and we will be at peace. 
It looked bad for Joseph, but God said, what was meant for evil, He, God turned for good.
So, what is your perspective for today? Looking for the good, I pray. See with the eyes of Jesus.

 God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
