Once and For All
MPG–Shouldn’t we make up our minds once and for all? If we are having to make up our minds every morning or every time we pay bills or every time we watch the news or some religious prophecy show, then our minds are not made up.
Let’s make up our minds about God and stand and having stood continue to stand (Eph.6:13). Is He the God who kept Noah and his family in an ark of safety? Is He the God who opened the Red Sea, rained down manna from heaven and made bitter water sweet? God is just waiting on somebody to make up their mind today!
Is He the One who provided for Hagar in the wilderness and supplied food for a widow and her household in the middle of a famine? And weren’t they provided for throughout the entire famine? Is He the One who returned sons to bereaved mothers and shut the mouths of lions and quenched fiery flames?
Has He changed? (James 1:17) Has He changed His Name? His address? Has He changed His mind about covenant or redemption? Has someone usurped His throne? Will that ever happen? Then why would God’s people wallow in perplexity or anguish?
If God is the God of the Word then why are churches, church people and ministries filled with stress? Why are so many homes broken? Why are so many lives broken, so many hearts, so many bodies? Maybe it is because too many people have not made up their minds about God, about His Word and about being determined to stand on the Word of God no matter what their emotions are telling them.
We must be the people of the Word – not the people of the latest news broadcast, not the people of the latest twist to end-time prophecy. We must get back to the Word (not talk programs), not to prophecy magazines, not to curiosity inspiring personalities with predictions and the latest statistics.

A Sheer Gift
James 1:2 says “Consider it a sheer gift, when tests and challenges come at you from
all sides.”(Msg) So on those days when your spouse, children, mother-in-law and cocker-spaniel are all screaming for attention at the same time a check is missing in the check register and the fridge is dying and melting all over the kitchen floor…you need to think,“sheer gift”. Uh-huh… this is obviously going to take some practice! —Kathy

Things That may Never Come to Pass
So often we needlessly worry about things that will never come to pass. We then begin to regulate our lives according to those perceived possibilities. Like the disciples, when water is coming over the side of the boat, we tend to forget Jesus is in the boat with us. No matter where the boat goes or what assails it, Jesus is going to be assailed as well. We also tend to forget what He has already promised: Let us go over to the other side (Mk.4:35).
