All Things

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you."  Rom 12:3 NIV

Have you ever been around someone who is always right?  Yes, I know you have. It can be a terribly tiring ordeal to always be wrong because someone else is always right. Those who think that they are always right and since they are everything must be done according to the way they say it must be done. That causes just a bit of conflict and discord. Generally, others like to stay away from those who are so arrogant that they think they are so perfect.

Prayerfully you are not one of those who correct everything that everyone one else says and does. Prayerfully we should all take the time to listen to others opinions and ideas and plans and dreams for the greater good. Prayerfully, one day we will all learn to listen and to lean on one another not thinking so highly of ourselves that we think we can do anything and all things. 

Only God can know all things, listen to Him. Only God has accomplished all things for us through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen!

Glory To God Alone!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.  (Eph 3:20-21 NIV)

All the glory, all the praise, all the thanks, all the credit goes to God.

One day, maybe, we will realize that we can truly do nothing good without God. It is His power alone that created the heavens and the earth. He can do all things for He is who He is. He is Almighty God. He is merciful and gracious to us even though we keep thinking that we can live without Him. He alone has saved us from our own stinking thinking by sending His only begotten Son to die for our sins.

All glory and honor belongs to God alone. Thanks be to God for He is our help and our salvation!

God's Peace - Pr. J
