God is still
God is still Healer
when my loved ones are lying sick in bed.
God is still Provider
when I am waiting for what I am trusting Him to provide.
God is still Good
when my first nephew dies the day he was born.
God is still Love
when my innocent friend is murdered.
God is still Comforter
when the tears continue to flow.
God is still Almighty
when He doesn't stop a bad thing from happening.
God is still Deliverer
when I have yet to experience the victory.
God is still Trustworthy
when I have not yet received what has been promised.
God is still Faithful
when my prayers have not yet been answered.
God's character is not dependent on our circumstances. He is who He is, forever and always and in spite of.
If we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
- 2 Timothy 2:13
Inspired by the question, "What does it mean to worship God for who He is, rather than what He does?"

1 Peter 2.9-10 tells us...” you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” (NKJV)
1 Peter chapter 2 starts off challenging us IF we have tasted that the Lord is gracious, we would seek out His sincere Word which enables us to grow. This sincere Word tells us as believers in Jesus Christ that we are chosen, we are royal, we are holy and we are special to God. This sincere Word tells us that in Christ we are called out of the darkness of this sin-cursed earth into God’s marvelous light! This sincere Word tells us in John 1 that in Jesus was life, and His life was the light of men. These, and many other precious promises of hope and healing, are contained in this sincere Word. As we feed on it, as we desire it, and as we meditate on it- it will make our paths straight.
So many have not ever heard one Word from God’s sincere Word. Romans 10.14-15 questions us- How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As we have begun 2024 and as we look back on the end of 2023 which heralded the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ our Redeemer, this is my prayer for all of us who know Him. That we let go of the things that are holding us back from fully committing to receiving and serving God. May God use us as we yield to the leading of His Holy Spirit. May we find encouragement in God’s sincere Word and in each other, to do what God’s Spirit is calling us to do. And may we do it all for the glory of God and for the good of man

Father to son: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Son’s reply: I want to be a Caution Man, Dad.
Father in shock: What is that?
Son excitedly: Haven’t you ever noticed the sign “Caution Men at Work” at a work site with a
group of men nearby doing nothing? I want to be a Caution Man just like them, and get paid for doing nothing.
When you are fasting it is OK to eat Fast Foods.
