GOD USES US IN UNEXPECTIONG WAYS

 To day was a good sermon day in many churches.  A few of my friends have shared what the sermons they heard were about.  All good Biblical advice on how to deal with life as we know it now. 

My church was about life changing events and how God uses them to get our attention, or to bring us closer to him.  He tells us to do things that are uncomfortable.  He uses us in our weaknesses.  Moses is a great example.  Ex 2-4.  His whole life was in God's plan for him.  He didnt feel worthy to do the job that God sent him to do, but God was with him.  He trusted and obeyed (after giving so many excuses why he was not the man for the job)  But he was a great man that God picked out. 

A friend shared that no matter what we are going through, we need to just keep our eyes on Jesus.  Jesus told his 12 that he will be leaving  and that they will be persecuted.  Life had been good for them as they traveled with Jesus.  But after Jesus died, they were critisized.  Jesus told them to just keep their eyes on him.  It doent matter what is going on in our lives as long as we keep looking to Jesus for everything we need.  For peace.  

Another friend shared this, "Keep moving forward...doing what God has told you to do. Don't back down, don't give up, don't conform to the world. Be a friend, help others and show God's love."

What great words to live by. 

Just remember to Pray! Talk to Jesus.  Give him your glory, praise him, and lay your burdons down (and dont pick them back up!!  )Let go of the Boat (a story for later)    Read the Bible EVERYDAY!!  and do what it says.  Trust what God is telling you.  I will not be what the world says or it may not make sense..but do it!!!  Life will be so much better if you just do everything God's way.   You will be blessed.
