What Keeps You Going?
October 31, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 104:25-30
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     What is it that keeps you going every day? Is it air? Well, air plays a big part in it. How about blood? Well, without blood, you cannot survive. Maybe you would say it is water. A person cannot go very long without water. All the answers are true; however, I see one you may have missed. What keeps you living is death. Yup, you read that right, death.

     So, by now, you may wonder how it is that death keeps me living. Well, for you to eat anything, some living thing must die. No matter if it is poultry, beef, tomatoes, or even lettuce, for it to be consumed, it must die. Who thought up such a system? The answer is God, the giver of all life. He not only controls what we eat but also supplies food for all the animals on this entire globe. Huge fish eat smaller fish. Some larger animals will eat vegetation. Carnivores eat other animals. God designed it all. If it were left up to you, could you think up this complex plan? Then again, are you someone who believes that somehow this all happened from a huge bang and cosmic collision in space? No friend, it is all part of God’s plan. For there to be life, there must be death.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     For there to be eternal life, there also had to be a death. Jesus came from heaven to die on the cross so that our sins were paid for so that we might have eternal life. Life and death are in God’s hands. He loves us and does what is best for us, even when it makes no sense to us. Jesus’ death made no sense, as He had never sinned. However, without His death, we could not have eternal life. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am THE WAY.” Only by his death and then His resurrection do we have eternal life.

Why do you think people try other ways,
when Jesus made it clear He is the only way to heaven?

God Is Always There For You
October 30, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Job 19:25-26
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Have you ever felt life was all going bad? Your entire day seemed to be one catastrophe after another. Nothing you did went right. At the end of the day, you just want to get in bed, cover your head, and pretend as if it all never happened. Tomorrow, you say, will have to be better. Well, do not feel alone, everyone has had those days.

     However, our worst day probably was not as bad as the worst day in Job’s life. He lost his home, his livelihood, his livestock, his children, his servants, and his health. All he really had left was his wife, and she wanted him to curse God and die. Does your day seem so bad now?

      During those bad times, if you are like most people, you tend to ask why God is doing this to you. What did I do to deserve this? So did Job, kind of. He asked why he was ever born in the first place. Why could he not have died at birth? Yup, now that is a bad day. However, in our verses today in Job 19:25, 26, Job says something interesting. He never gave up on God, and he knew God had not given up on him. Why, because he saw how God had been real to him in the good times. He had a real relationship with a real God, and no number of bad days or terrible circumstances could make that go away.

      Bad days come and go. You will probably have another one someday. (You probably did not want to hear that right now, right?) Nevertheless, one thing that will never change in your life is God.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. A preacher once said to me, “If you get a grip on God’s hand in the daylight, you will not have to go searching for it in the dark.” That sounded good to me then and still seems like great advice today. Grab God’s hand, never let go, and let Him lead. Your bad day will not be as bad with God by your side.

Are you holding on to the nail-scarred hand today?

Like The Sands Of Time…

October 27, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     We have awakened today at the beginning of a new year. New opportunities seem just around the corner. New goals get set every year at this time. Plans for a better way, a new walk, and a new world seem ever so possible today with the fresh beginning of a brand-new year. The truth is that new walks, new worlds, and new ways are available every day. All we need to do is turn to Christ, and we can realize the same feeling of beginning again any day of the year.

    In the very first chapter of the book of Psalms, we see just how this is possible. It tells us not to listen to those negative people who tell us, “You’ll never change.” Look them in the eye and tell them, “You are so right; I cannot change on my own, but with the help of God and the Holy Spirit who resides in me, all things are possible.” With God doing the changing and not we, everyone can be changed for the better. Walk not in the negative counsel of this ungodly world, which scorns everything you try to do for God. Make the Bible your delight. Find in it the truths to stand against Satan and the world. The Bible says in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”   

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     Now the rest is up to you… Who are you going to believe today? The world that says you cannot, you will not, and you do not stand a chance? Or will you believe God who plainly has said that if you delight in His Word and meditate on it, then you can, you will, and you have every chance for life to be better? In other words, think about the good things He has for you. Believe what His Word says is true. Then God says ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. So, who are you going to believe, God, or man? What a great day today can be when you know who God is. When you know He is on your side, by your side, and even inside you at every turn today. A New Way, a New Walk, and a New World are just outside your door. Enjoy your walk with God today.

Who are you going to believe, a “you can’t world, or a “We Can God?
