TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Then Jesus said, COME TO ME ALL OF YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND CARRY HEAVY BURDENS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” Matthew 11:28 —– ” My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 —– “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10
TODAY’S MESSAGE: The winds are swirling around us all of the time. Whether they are in the form of breezes or hurricane force winds they are constantly moving. The winds in our spiritual lives are also swirling around. They sometimes are calm, and our lives reflect peace and happiness. However, they sometimes come in the form of hurricane type winds. They are heavy and forceful and can do a lot of destruction in our lives. It is in these times that we must take shelter by going to a safe place. During a tornado we all know that we need to get out of harm’s way, so we go to the basement or somewhere we believe will protect us. When the winds of trouble come into our lives, we must also seek shelter. Many people will just set back and ride out the storm. They carry the burdens upon themselves until the burdens become too strong, and they break the backs of those who carry them. It is at these times we see people turn to the shelter of alcohol or drugs. There are also those who will turn to God in heaven as a last resort. The Lord tells us that he is with us always. He is with us in good times and in difficult times. So, when we are warned of a coming storm, we should take shelter in the loving arms of our Lord. We need to recognize that he is our safety net and our storm shelter. We need to build up our shelter of faith so that when the winds get strong, we can be safely tucked away in the loving arms of Jesus. With Jesus we can be safe all of the time and not just part of the time. With a strong faith in Him we have a place to go when we are being attacked or tested by the world. In times when our burdens become too heavy, he is there to take them on. He is there to carry them and withstand the load. He is our refuge, our safety net and our strength when we must withstand the winds of the world. Jesus is our Lord, and he is all that we need! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS AND ALL TIMES!
