DUMB IT DOWN!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens.” Hebrews 10:35 ———- ” So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

TODAY’S MESSAGE: It is so easy to begin to over think things. In today’s world, just as in the world of yesterday, we think of ourselves as smart and able to solve the problems of the world. The world may be as small as our own immediate surroundings, or it may be the problems of the world we live in. It matters not. To put it into simple words, we have become too big for our own pants. We forget that we have a creator who actually is the world’s problem solver. We forget that he is with us in every situation. We forget that our Lord Jesus went to the cross so that we could have the opportunities he has given for eternal life with him. We often leave our faith behind us and begin our journey out on our own. When this happens, worry and doubt begin to take over our thoughts and actions. Our health begins to deteriorate, and our joy is taken from us. It is in these times that we must stop and be reined back in. It is in these times that we must go back to God’s Word and begin, to once again, wrap our arms around it, allowing it to seep into our lives. We must, once again, secure this confident trust in the Lord. We must allow our faith to sprout thoroughly throughout our lives. We must allow it to grow, and we must recognize its power. We must dumb down our thinking and allow God to do his work in our lives just as he promised. We must not try to outdo our Lord. He is forever faithful and will never go back on the promises he has made to us. It is not easy to allow ourselves to be as simple as living by faith. However, we must trust God and not the world. We are the children of God, and he wants nothing less than a joyful life for each of us. It is time to step back, dumb down and allow God to do his work! JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
