It is so important for those who are "in Christ" to understand their position before God. The story of Mephilosheth in the book of 2 Samuel gives us a great type of our blessing through Jesus Christ. Just as Mephilosheth could do nothing to be invited to the kings table, neither can we!
We live a stressed, over-burdened generation. While stress and anxiety often consume our minds and even negatively impact our health as the Christian. Jesus clearly tells us not to worry! Worry is unbelief in disguise and therefore, is actually a sin. God's cure for worry is found in Philippians 4:4-9.
Are you prepared for the unknown? The scriptures are clear in warning us that we have no guarantees about tomorrow. However, it is also clear that by living in the abiding presence of Christ we can be prepared for whatever tomorrow holds!
Throughout God's Word and human history, we read of men and women who have been stirred beyond a "religious requirement" and have turned their prayer into a cry! God is not impressed with showmanship, but a true cry from an honest heart - He never refuses!
