Here's to Not Being Anxious

Cheers, all.  Just like you can count on your daily coffee to keep you awake, keep the headaches away, to warm up your body, and to tingle your taste buds, you can also count on God to take care of you.  Wahoo!  Get this:  "Be strong; fear not!  Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you."  So no worries, right?  Here's a little challenge for ya today.  Go get your bible, that's right.  Go get it.  Read the rest of this passage- Isaiah 35:4-10.  Your challenge is to read this and find a way to be discouraged.  I want you to try to challenge your self and your situations and see if you can really sit and be hopeless after reading that.  Now God also tells us that we need to believe these things.  I don't believe that He can truly bless us the way He wants to (and believe me, He REALLY wants to bless us abundantly), if we don't believe with our entire heart and being that He wants to take care of us and make us happy.

Put your TRUST and FAITH in Him.  "If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all."  Isaiah 7:9  Remember that song you used to sing in Sunday School, the one about building your house on a rock or sand? Building on sand may work for a while.  That is, until the rain comes...

P.S.  Be bold in your faith, guys.  My blog from Saturday may actually even upset some people, but I did not write it to upset anyone.  I wrote it to prove that even the best of churches, the best of people, make mistakes.  Most of the time, they don't even realize that they're doing it;  they don't believe what they're doing is wrong.  But spending even more time with God in situations like that is where you'll find your answer, what HE wants you to do.  Wrong decisions were obviously made in these churches, but seeking God will let us know what is His Will, what is the right choice.
