The story of Noah and the ark is a story of promise. Whereas God's people had turned their back on their loving God and heavenly Father, he reached out to Noah and his family in an attempt to preserve a remnant of his creation. Noah, who was faithful and honored God's call, even when it appeared to be ridiculous (worthy of ridicule), thereby saved his family and himself from imminent destruction. God showed his loving care in the story of Noah when he provided the exact details, complete with instructions of how to build the ark: how large to make it, how many rooms, even what kind of wood to use. Noah showed his faithfulness by following the instructions to the letter, even though they were miles from large bodies of water, and there was no indication of threatening sin. As a result, only Noah and his family survived the great flood. After 150 days, the waters receded, and Noah;s family and the animals were able to de-ark. it was then that God filled the skies with...

God's Promises Never Fail! What was God's promise to Noah? It can be found in Genesis 9:8-17. Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him...   I establish my covenant  with you:  Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. ”   And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant  I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:   I have set my rainbow  in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth...  " Whenever the rainbow  appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant  between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant  I have established between me and all life on the earth.” This is the true meaning of the rainbow sign!  Lord, even though I may...

Jesus in His Word says, “I am   the  way   and the truth   and the life .   No one comes to the Father except through me.   If you really know me, you will know   my Father as well.   From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”   John 14:6-7 Be blessed and be a blessing, Cheryl

God has comforted me with Hebrews 13:5 many times. May you find comfort, rest and peace in God's Word. He speaks to us through His Word! Many times we're just to busy to quiet ourselves and listen.  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5   NIV

“I am   the way   and the truth   and the life .   No one comes to the Father except through me.   If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.   From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6-7 Access to the Father's presence is only through Jesus, who is the  way   and the truth   and the life . The way to the Father is only through Jesus. Other religions and philosophers propose different avenues to God, but Jesus asserted that He is the one exclusive path to God. Jesus s the truth because God is truth. God is the source of eternal life . Be Blessed and be a blessing!

Who is Jesus? “I am  the bread of life.  Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes  in me will never be thirsty. ” John 6:35 “I am  the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 “I am the good shepherd ;   I know my sheep   and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15) “I am  the resurrection and the life .  The one who believes  in me will live, even though they die ” John 11:25 “I am   the way   and the truth   and the life .   No one comes to the Father except through me.   If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.   From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6-7 “I am   the true vine ,   and my Father is the gardener.   He cuts off every branch in me that bears no f...

The Great I Am - John 15 Lord,  You go before me, preparing the way, Supplying my needs before I knew I needed them. Before I became lost, Your light provided guidance. Before I became hungry, Your bread of life provided spiritual nourishment. Before I become frustrated with futility You pruned me so I could bear more fruit. Before I have to face death You gave Your life so I can live eternally! Thank You, Lord!!! You are the great I AM! You are the bread of life. You are the light of the world. You are the vine and I am the branch. You are the resurrection and the Life. Hallelujah! Amen! Have a blessed day! From the "Power for Life Bible."

Set reasonable goals, Dreams don't work unless you do. Don't be limited by your own imagination. The pathway to God's best is paved with faith. Avoid procrastination - Just do it. Procrastination depletes time and energy. Saying no to things that are good, allows you to say yes to the things that are great. Saying no to things that aren't a priority, allows you to say yes to things that are. God wants to do a new thing. 2 Cor 5:17 Run to God not away from God. Prov. 18:10 God knows what's best for our lives. Rom. 8:28 Shine like the stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of Life. Phil. 2:15-16 God is in control of every aspect of our lives, every circumstance. God can work all things together for His good, He knows what's best for our lives. Rom. 8:20, 28 May the Lord bless you and keep you, May He make His face to shine upon you, May you know that if God is for you who can be against you, With God on your side whom shall yo...

Desire will give you give you stamina and energy. Psalm 37:4 assures us that God will give us (His children) the desires of our. We must, however, know the truth of God's Word. Here's an acronym for DESIRE ... D - daily activity, daily quiet-time, daily in the Word - The Bible. E - expect a miracle; compounding greatness. God directs our paths. S - set daily, weekly, monthly goals and track them. I - invade your brain with positiveness - God's Word. R - rest and reflect at the end of each day. E - elevate yourself to new levels; walk in confidence that you are doing what God has called you to do. Complacency is the seed of mediocrity. You are called to greatness - choose to be great! Christ wants us to do even greater than He did. (John 14:12) We need to allow God's Word to do a powerful work in us, that through us He can produce the kinds of things that we read in Scripture. Be blessed and be a blessing!

Psalm 37 is a Hebrew acrostic poem; each stanza begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It offers clear responses that reduce the tensions of life and promise that those who obey, trust and love the Lord will have a future. The earth belongs to the Lord, He will give it to those He blesses - the godly who trust in Him, put their hope in Him, and follow Him. Psalm 37 is the biblical equivalent of comfort food to me; it's one you can read no matter what you're going through and it speaks to you. As I was reading through it, these are a few verses that I have underlined in my Bible. This is from the New Living Translation; read it in whatever translation you feel comfortable with or search for your favorite translation in Biblegateway . The following are verses - 5, 18-19.25-26, 34a, 39-40. Commit everything you do to the  Lord .      Trust him, and he will help you. Day by day the  Lord  takes care of the innocent,  ...
