2020 In the Bag!

 Another year has gone by. I'll tell you what, 2020 was a whopper! And not the yummy kind with onions!! Fires raging, hurricanes right on top of each other, then Covid...and the icing on the cake, a President of the United States destroying democracy as we know it with his false and unproven claims of a stolen election! My question to you is; where are your eyes? Where is it that you are focused on? The scary stuff all around? Fears of starvation, no money for bills, no toilet paper?! Did you forget that God, the Creator of the universe has provided for your needs in the past? Sometimes I forget, yet then I cry out to God, asking for help. And guess what!? God provides! It happens to me quit a bit locked up in here even! I have a set amount of money to spend per month on extra food and hygiene items. On many occasions I've almost ran out. Yet somehow someone comes along and gives me the items I needed without me saying a word! Or the prison gets a donation from ministries like Joyce Myers. Beloved friends, this is called the favor of God! " My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory!" Which is a great old song we used to sing in Church. It also happens to be Scripture based on Philippians 4:19. As followers of Jesus Christ we must keep our eyes always on the prize! Yes, it's hard living in a world so corrupt with sin and death, but Jesus is our hope! Through His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary we have an eternal hope! Jesus said he came to give us life abundant! (John 10:10) Not only eternal life, but abundant life while here on this earth. Am I preaching a " get rich with Jesus " message, heck no! I'm saying to you, God WILL supply all we need when we put our trust in Him! As parents we give good gifts to our kids right? Father God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and since we are only human, how much better gifts can He give to us His children!? Please my beloved friends, I implore you in the name of Jesus to keep your eyes on the One Who gives Life abundant! Stay grounded in the Word. Meditate on scriptures daily. Keep in prayer, be thankful for the grace that has been given to you as the chosen ones of God Almighty! Happy New Year y'all!
