His Promises Are True



"Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is Christ." ~ Galatians 3:16

Remember Abraham? God promised him the world.

Remember Joseph? God delivered him from slavery.

Remember the Hebrews in Egypt? God protected their children from the angel of death during Passover.

Remember David? God turned him from a little shepherd boy into a great king.

Remember Moses? God turned him from a bumbling fool into a deliverer of His people.

Remember Jeremiah? God turned him from a coward into a bold prophet.

And He can do the same for us.

His promises are true.

God bless,
J.W.

My Father's Business


“So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, ‘Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.’ And He said to them, ‘Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.” ~ Luke 2:48-50

Often, when we develop new relationships, the people closest to us will start to feel alienated or left out. “You’ve changed,” they’ll say. “We don’t hear from you anymore.” “You don’t call like you used to.”

Like Jesus, we are to be about our father’s business and remain unapologetic for charting a new course in life.

Our new relationship with God should take precedent over all others.

God bless,
J.W.
