Good Morning!
I am back and apologize for the time I didn't post much on the blog. It has been a rough three weeks, but God is good and has comforted me and taught me and held me! I am so very thankful for my sisters that have prayed for me and the kids and helped us through some difficult times. There is more on the horizon, but I know that I will not be defeated and that I am victorious in Christ! He is with me every step of the way! Hallelujah! I will sing His praises all the days of my life!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Numbers 12 ~ Miriam's life shows us what happens when we get jealous of others in leadership and focus on ourselves. God removes blessings.
Jealousy is a horrible thing. God does not tolerate it as we are witness to Miriam's leprosy. We should guard our hearts and not become jealous. It is hard at times, but if we ask, God is good to lead and guide and provide answers and help in our times of need.
Do not take your eyes off of the prize - off the Lord Jesus - who has gone ahead to prepare a place for us in Heaven - eternity!

Friday, May 25th - 1 Peter 4:1-11
Good Morning!
It's Friday! Some have already started this long weekend and others will follow this afternoon, but either way, it IS a holiday weekend and worth a celebration. Please take a moment today and everyday to say thank you to our men and women who have, who are, and will - fight for our freedom and protect this great country of ours.
Speaking of freedom, we as Christians live in freedom because of the sacrifice and shed blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave His life so that we might be free from sin and live with Him eternally. Now that is something to shout about and celebrate! Praises to His Name!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 1 Peter 4:1-11 ~ Ever have friends who test your self-control when they try to get you to do things you shouldn't? This speaks to that situation.
In verse one we are told to arm ourselves with the same attitude of Christ when He suffered. We are done with sin and live the rest of our lives for the will of God. He is with us every minute of every day, as we live for Him!
Does anything on the list of evil sighted in verse 3 sound familiar? We see it all around us today! In verse 5 it says that they will have to give account for their actions and their lives to God. All will be judged.
Verse 7 says that the end of all things is near and we should be self-controlled and clear minded so that we can pray. Actually these remaining verses give us instructions on how to live our lives for Him. 1. Be clear minded so you can pray 2. Be self-controlled 3. Love each other deeply 4. Offer hospitality without grumbling 5. Use your gifts to serve others 6. If you speak - speak with the words of God 7. If you serve - serve with the strength God gives. Do all this so that God will be praised in all things through Jesus Christ. "To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." (vs 11b)
That is a lot to think about and strive to do! Be in the Word and in prayer daily! He will guide and help us! We will be ready for His return and it is near......Maranatha - come Lord Jesus!
Have a great day!
