THERE IS NO ONE I CAN TALK TO!

THERE’S NO ONE I CAN TALK TO!

Thank God for the godly, trustworthy, faithful friends that many people have. What about if you don’t have anybody like that in your life? Do you ever feel like, I wish I had someone I can trust… Someone that can relate to what I’m going through? Let me give you some encouragement from “God’s Holy Word”!

The Bible Says:

David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.”~ (1 Samuel 30:6)

Note: David needed someone to strength him through this very difficult situation (David and his soldiers homes were burned down to the ground and their wives and children were taken captive)...But everyone around him wanted to stone him.  “NOTICE” to whom David went to, for the help that he needed… But David found “STRENGTH” in the LORD his GOD.”~(1 Samuel 30:1-6)~When “NO ONE” is there to help us or understand what we’re going through…God will “ALWAYS” be there for us and He “DOES” understand the things that we are going through. "But God, who "COMFORTS" the DOWNCAST..."~(2 Corinthians 7:6)

The Book Of Hebrews Says:

For we “DO NOT” have a high priest who is “UNABLE” to sympathize with OUR weaknesses, (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!)  BUT we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. “LET US” then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may “RECEIVE” mercy and “FIND” grace to “HELP US” in our time “OF NEED”.”~(Hebrews 4:15-16)
Maybe “NO ONE” understands what you’re feeling but we have a wonderful “High Priest” (Jesus Christ) that is able to sympathize with everything that happens to us and Jesus “WILL” help us in our time of need! Remember “ALWAYS” what Jesus says… He “WILL” always DO!!! Heaven and earth will pass away, “BUT MY WORDS” will NEVER” pass away.”~(Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33)

Note: If you’re going through a difficult, painful situation… Come to the “One” that can sympathize with “ALL” your problems and help you out of them too!  The “SALVATION” of the righteous “COMES” from the LORD; HE is their “STRONGHOLD” in time of trouble. The LORD “HELPS THEM” and “DELIVERS THEM”; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, “BECAUSE” they take “REFUGE” in HIM.”~(Psalm 37:39-40)

“TRUST” in Jesus, my friends… He will “NEVER” let us down! Is “NOT” in HIM to say one thing and do another… Remember, Jesus is “NOT” a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29)

"GOD is our “REFUGE” and STRENGTH”, an ever-present help in trouble.”… BE still, and know that I am GOD.”~(Psalm 46:1,10)                

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

WHAT KIND OF BUILDER ARE YOU?

WHAT KIND OF BUILDER ARE YOU?


Jesus said: "...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."(John 16:33)


Just because you are a Christian person, does not mean that you won’t face difficulties here on earth. We are not exempt from trials, pain, financial problems, sickness, death, betrayal, etc. These will come and depending on how you deal with these situations will determine "What Kind Of Builder You Are." The Lord did not leave us here on earth to face these situations alone…He's ALWAYS with us and He has also given us the answers and instructions on how to deal with them when they come up. Through the different stories in the Bible …You can see how many times God delivered His people. They are our examples to follow when the times of testing come our way. Whatever kind of problem or difficulty you are facing right now the Lord has the answer.

In the Bible the Lord, talks about the wise and foolish builders.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had it’s foundation on the rock.”

Note: What the Lord is saying here is, if you "OBEY" Him and you live your life like he commands, then you are "The Wise Builder". When the trials of life come, because you have put into practice what He has taught you …You’ll be able to stand. (The house here means people; the rain, streams, and winds means the different trials that we will face here on earth, the ROCK is Jesus, HE is your foundation… He’ll be with you all the way) So we have nothing to worry about... Nothing to fear!  Because the Lord will always be with us... BUT we must first put into practice/action what HE has taught us...  Jesus says:" But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. (Matthew 7: 24-27)-NIV

Note: When we don’t put into practice what the Lord is teaching us in His word, we would be classified as "Foolish Builders". The person who follows any other teachings, than that of Christ, is considered a person who has built their life on a foundation of sand. In order for you to see a real change in your life and to be able to handle the difficult times that will come to your life, you will have to do your part...Our part is to follow and obey our Lord's commands and His teachings. (John 14:15, 21, 23-24) Friends, Our actions will always speak louder than our words!
As it is written, “The Lord helps those who LOVE (Obey) Him. (Psalm 50:15, 91:14-16, Jeremiah 29:11-13) Call on Jesus, my friends... Seek Him daily!
Let me give you an example-- in an action I had to take in my own life: In the beginning of the year I wanted to lose some weight. I new that I would not see the results, that I wanted to see until I made all of the changes in my life that, it would take to accomplish that goal. So I had to watch what I ate, had smaller portion meals, and exercise. I didn’t see results right away, but because I stuck with it and didn’t give up ….I started to see the changes I was looking for. Wishful thinking gets us nowhere … ACTIONS WILL
Friends, The Bible is constantly admonishing us to put our faith into "actions".  "It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him." (Deuteronomy 10:12-13, 13:4, Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14, John 14:15, 21-23, 24, Luke 11:28, 1 Corinthians 7:19, 2 Timothy 2:19, 1 John 2:3-6)

Remember GOD'S commands are meant to guide us and to protect us. HE is our loving Father and HE only wants the best for us. Obeying HIM is in our best interest. "...For the LORD is your (our) LIFE..." (Deuteronomy 30:20) Amen! Trust Him ALWAYS… He’ll never let you down.

"MY sheep listen to MY voice; I know them, and they follow ME." (John 10:27)

GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS
