Obstacles

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” – Coffee News, Vol 128:2

“Let us fix our eyes on JESUS…. ” – Hebrews 12:2

Why don’t we have? Because we don’t ask!

“It is OK to ask for help,” I am reading in the booklet developed for the Campaign for Action on Family Violence.

I am having here before me the “Children’s Guide to Family Separation”. Children have questions when parents break up. The guide will help answer the questions the children are having. But it says also: “If the answers to your questions aren’t in here, at the back there’s a list of people you can contact for help.”

There is KIDSLINE, Buddy Support and more.

Why don’t we have? Because we don’t ask!

“DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP,” I am reading at the end of the booklet called  “AGING WELL, How to be the best you can be.”

Why don’t we have? Because we don’t ask!

The words of the Lord Jesus Christ we find in the Bible and in Matthew 7:7 the Lord says, “‘Ask and it will be given to you.'” and in Matthew 7:8 the Lord says, “‘For everyone who asks receives.'” What a promise!

And now listen to what James says in his letter: James 4:2:

“YOU DO NOT HAVE, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK GOD.”

Let us ask God more than we have ever done before. Will you?

“For I resolved

to know

nothing while

I was with you

crucified.”

“‘O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home?

Jonah 4:2-3

Intr.:

That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish.

I knew that you are

1. a gracious and

2. compassionate God,

3. slow to anger and

4. abounding in love,

5. a God who relents from sending calamity.

End:

Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.'”

Eight Times Every Hour!

Police respond eight times every hour  to a family  violence incident in New Zealand, I am reading in the booklet developed for the Campaign for Action on Family Violence.

Why are our relationships so unhealthy?

The answer? Because most people in this country don’t have a  relationship with their creator.

Sinners who have accepted Christ or rather sinners who have been accepted by the Lord Jesus Christ have access to the grace of God. They have access to salvation and prayer.

They are children of  God, a new creation, they are reconciled with God. They possess eternal life. They have peace. They have a blessed hope.

There is much much more……

But let me close with this promise: They are saved by Christ. “‘BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED – YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD.” – Acts 16:31
