Jealousy ???

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2

Word:

⁸Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”^[^d^] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

⁹Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

¹⁰The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

Thought:

Jealousy can be difficult to recognize because our reasons for it seem to make sense. But left unchecked jealousy can grow quickly and lead to sequences of sins.

When our attitude is like Christ Jesus’s (Phil 2:5) we will serve God and others out of love.

Facing challenges …. Jesus is with you

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word:

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Psalms 18: 32-34

Thought:

God doesn’t promise to eliminate challenges: Instead he promises to give us strength to meet those challenges. If he gives us no rough roads to walk, no mountains to climb and no battles to fight we would not grow. Lord Jesus Christ never leaves us alone with our challenges, however. Instead he stands besides us; he teaches us, carrying us through the storm and strengthens us to face them.

afraid ???

Word:

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” Acts 18: 9-10

Thought:

“Challenges are what make life interesting;

Overcoming them with the Christ’s power is what makes life meaningful”
