“Our Own God”
Psalm 46:6; I Corinthians 1:2
We take for granted many of Gods blessings and gifts like an old hog eating under an oak tree, we never look up to see where our acorns (blessings) are coming from. We just don’t make the best use of what He has blessed us with, and furthermore, we make even less use of God himself. We read in many places in the Scriptures that He is our counsellor, but we dare not ask many times because we are too fleshly to accept the Spiritual responsibilities. We go headlong into our business dealings and everyday lives without asking for any guidance. Many times, troubles come our way and we are determined to handle them our way and then ask God to be in our decisions after we have already decided. We do it backwards most of the time, we go ahead with our plans and then try to include God in them somewhere on down the road. I know God is displeased with that type of action. God wants to sustain us throughout our trials, not just in little spurts, when we get out of control. God has a storehouse open that we can enter and help ourselves to His bounty, but we stand at the door and hope that a few crumbs fall from some other one's blessings. Is He not “our God whom we serve?” Is He not a most personal God to you? He is the best friend we ever had, should we not draw from His friendliness? We lack because we don’t ask, we fear because of the frivolousness of flesh and faint in the faction of fashions. Why are we so troubled when we have God to supply our every need? Use God by faith, He will never be upset with your leaning on him.
“The Maze Of Life”
Has circumstance clouded your way?
God gives direction, when on him you lay.
Has some my brought you low?
This maze of life is less troublesome,
When with God you go.

Weekly Memory Verses: Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
