The Acts Of Faith Work.

 ““Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it.” 2 Kings‬ ‭6:7‬ ‭

We recently had two peacocks hatch out of our incubator. We was so excited. About 4 to 5 days passed, I went outside late one night to water them and I didn't shut the pen good. One got out and we couldn't find it. We done what second Kings taught about. The verses tell about how one day the group of prophets and Elisha went to the Jordan River, where they were going to build a new place for them to meet at. When they arrived they began to cut down the trees. The ax head fell into the River, and one of them said, oh sir, it was a borrowed ax. Elisha asked where did it fall, they showed him. Elisha cut a stick and threw it in the water at that spot, then the ax head floated to the surface, Elisha told them to grab it and the man reached out and did so. The stick didn't save it. The act of faith that God would bring it back did. I had prayed. He was gone for 32 hours. I assumed there was no way we would ever find him. Either a predator or the rain had gotten him. He didn't have food, water or a heat lamp. After 32 hours our neighbors who didn't even know he was missing called to ask if they had found one of our peacocks. It was him, Peter is what we had named Him. He was safe, and healthy. The stick did not bring him back, God did. When we show God we have faith even when our circumstances look rough it shows God we really do believe in Him. Today, if you've lost something try the act of faith, in any situation show acts of faith. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”” 2 Kings‬ ‭6:5 ““Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface.” 2 Kings‬ ‭6:6‬ ‭ “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.”Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭ “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
