“When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.” ~ Unknown  Canton Junction has a song they recorded titled “Hold On”.  One of the lines says “Hold on a little longer, The answer’s on the way”.  How often do we give up just before we are about to receive our answer?  We need to learn to trust God and His timing.  So, hold on a little longer, the answer’s on the way.  God bless!

♫ I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today, I know that He is living, Whatever men may say, I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer, And just the time I need Him, He’s always near. ……You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart. ♫  So thankful to serve a Savior that is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us.  So many other religions serve a god that is buried in a tomb.  Be encouraged today, if you know Jesus as your Savior, your God is alive.  God bless!

♫ Too late, too late for tears, Too late you’ve wasted precious years, What will your answer be, Facing eternity? ♫  This is the chorus to a song titled “Too Late”, written by Clinton VanZant about a young man who left a Sunday night service stating the words, ” No one, not even God is gonna tell me what to do”.  Early Monday morning, Clinton got a call that the young man was out drinking with his buddies and was killed in an auto accident.  We have no promise for tomorrow.  I trust today if you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior, you’ll make that commitment. Tomorrow might just be “too Late”.  God bless!

Mark Bishop has a song out called “I Will Rejoice”.  Rejoicing in the Lord is a choice.  We can go around with a long face bemoaning all of our circumstances or we can choose to rejoice in the middle of them.  If you think about it, which one will bring more contentment, rejoicing or complaining?  Either one is our choice, so let’s determine to rejoice in the Lord and let Him handle the circumstances for us.  God bless!

Change is inevitable!  How we adapt to change is so important.  We don’t always understand why God would effect change in our lives.  Although God isn’t always responsible for all the changes that take place, He did say in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good to them that love Him.  So today, even if we face changes that we don’t understand, let’s determine to leave it in God’s hands and let Him orchestrate the outcome.  God bless!

♫ I believe in a hill called Mt Calvary, I believe whatever the cost, And when time has surrendered and earth is no more, I’ll still cling to that old rugged cross. ♫  So much changes around us every day, whether it be in our personal lives, our family lives, job situations or in the political landscape of our country.  But, one thing is constant, we can can count on all that Jesus accomplished on the cross of Calvary.  So today in the midst of what may seem like chaos, cling to that old rugged cross.  God bless!

♫ Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian, Oh it is wonderful to be God’s child, Oh it is wonderful to have my sins forgiven, Oh it is wonderful to be redeemed, justified, forever reconciled. ♫  A chorus we used to sing in church when I was young that I was thinking about this morning!  I’m so glad that my sins are forgiven and that I am justified by faith.  I trust you have experienced that as well.  If not, why not accepted Jesus as your Savior today and experience His forgiveness and justification.  God bless!
