Psalms 112-118

Psalms 112 verse 7 reads:
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

Bad news comes and goes. It's not usually what we want to hear, but it's usually true. We fear bad news.

Think of the one person that is with you when you hear something that you don't want to hear or do something that you didn't want to do. Hint: God.

We can always trust in God, and it's just as simple as praying to God and asking him to be with you or someone else that you're worried about. It may not happen at first, but don't be discouraged because God always has a plan.

Peace!

It is so good to have that assurance when something bad happens, or we receive bad news, that God is with us.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,...

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's...

Jeremiah 25-27 Read these now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at www.bible.com . JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! It's a cheesy line. But it's simple, and true, and completely supported by the devotion today. The reading we read was about a choice God was giving to His people-- they could listen to Him or they couldn't... and most of them chose not to. But it makes me wonder... if we're given an ultimatum, and we chose the wrong thing, is it right if we're punished? For instance, I tell my sister that she can hit me, or not hit me. But if she DOES, I'll steal all her money. She chooses herself to hit me, so I steal all her money. Does that seem unfair? She knew what would happen to her if she chose wrong. So really, I think that it's her fault. Does that make sense? This isn't a real situation, by the way :) God told the people they could listen or not listen, and when they didn't... there would be consequences. God is a God of justice, and...
