Zephaniah 1-3

I think it's interesting-- parts of the Bible. How God can be speaking through prophets. It's unreal! If you don't have a good understanding of the whole concept, then it would sound really bizarre and fiction-y. But time and time again, everything that God says happens. For instance, God tells His people that they will be destroyed if they don't listen to Him.

And guess what? They're destroyed.

And of course, there are tons of prophesies about the savior of the world, who will be born in a manger, and who will save mankind from their sins by being murdered on a cross...

And guess what? 700 years later, Jesus came into the world.

So there isn't a doubt in my mind that everything God says is true, and if it hasn't happened yet, one day it will. If you haven't already, read today's chapters (there are only three: Zephaniah 1, 2, and 3.) God speaks through Zephaniah and tells a rather interesting prophesy you'll have to read to believe. You can read now at www.biblegateway.com or with the BIBLE READER widget to the right of this post if you don't have a Bible handy.

Basically, God is telling people that one day, it won't matter how rich we are, how many homes we own, how many friends we gain. What WILL matter is whether or not you have a faith in Him. If you live your life with God and His teachings, then the day of judgement will be easy and we'll be rejoicing to heaven.

But if we blow off God and all He has to offer, then the judgment day will lead to horror and suffering.

It's such a weird thing to grasp-- it's a messy topic by itself, right? Whether or not there's a God, whether or not the world just evolved by itself, whether or not there really WILL be a judgement day.

But all of this confusion can easily be stopped with the facts we've read throughout the Bible. All this stuff that God is saying that comes TRUE. It's a proven fact that Jesus walked this earth, and it's proven to be written 700 years before He was actually born. I'm not making this up, people!

So, why should today's prophesy be any different? What if God comes down to earth TOMORROW to judge us? Will you be ready? Can anyone honestly say they believe in God and love Him just like He loves us?

We all have nasty pasts. Every single human being has regrets, and past sins. But on the other hand, we all have a future to look forward to, also. We all can say that whether we want to or not, we will one day pass away. What happens then?

Put your faith in Jesus. Put your heart next to His and live with Him instead of sin. Change your life today, because no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The prophesy might come true in 1,000 years, or it might just happen in 5 minutes, and we have to be ready!

Comment below, or email me with any questions at carlygaile@yahoo.com. I'd love to help you out, because I believe everyone should get the chance to change!

Have a great weekend. Peace.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

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,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
