Count your blessings!

“Abram asked, “Almighty LORD, what will you give me? Since I’m going to die without children, Eliezer of Damascus will inherit my household. You have given me no children, so this member of my household will be my heir.” Suddenly, the LORD spoke his word to Abram again. He said, “This man will not be your heir. Your own son will be your heir.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:4 GW

Sometime we just go blabbering on about the things we don't have. We go, "Uh! I don't have a really good Xbox!" Or "My laptop's broken! I don't have any money!". Abram was starting to do this. God had to speak to him and tell Abram he was looking at the wrong thing! Abram needed to know that he needed to count his blessings. You might say, "I don't have any blessings!" but you do! God has given you a life which is a gift and does NOT belong to you. God has given you this life for HIS purpose, but He doesn't force you to believe in Him. In fact, God let's you decide how you live your life. He is clever as well! Because when you appear to Him on Judgement day, you will have no excuse for your actions. These were your choices! Which you did, ignoring your conscience. God gave you this and this is how you know what is right and wrong. What is evil and what is good. Jesus is a merciful God, more merciful than what you think! He gave us the gift of life, freewill, conscience and salvation as well as plenty, hundreds, millions more! God wants everyone to follow Him and this is the least we can do for all those blessings!

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
