Did You Know?



** Did you know ? **

THE BUZZARD

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner.

The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

** Did you know ? **

THE BAT

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place.

If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air.

Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

** Did you know ? **

THE BUMBLEBEE

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.

** Did you know ? **


PEOPLE

In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!

That's the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem....


just look up!

Characterized by Thankfulness.


To give thanks in all circumstances does not mean that we plaster on fake smiles and throw out the phrase “praise the Lord” every five minutes. Instead, we are to have a posture of gratitude that flows out of our hearts and is seen in every area and circumstance of our lives.

Have you ever thought about the fact that we would have nothing good in our lives if it were not for God placing it there? James tells us that every good gift we have comes from God.

James 1:17
 Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.

No matter how small or how large, they are placed in your life by your good and gracious Father.  

Let’s pray that God would help us be women who are characterized by deep gratitude that goes beyond the Thanksgiving season.

Of all people, we have the most reason to be characterized by thankfulness.
We have a Savior who took away our sins.
We have a God who fights for us.
Our life has meaning and is worth living.
Our souls are safe.
Our future is secure.

Remember that God’s mercies are new every morning,
that His provisions flow throughout our days,
and His protective eye is on us at night.

Until Next Time

Jesus didn't come to start a religion,
He came to have a relationship with you.
He has a purpose and a destiny for your life.

Do Not Lose Heart

2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.


What a powerful reminder that we all need to hear these days: do not lose heart!

Are the times in which we are living troubling, disheartening, and concerning? Sure they are!
I know a few of you are feeling pretty hard pressed these days.

You’re not alone.

Paul had those same feelings at times. 
Yet in the midst of all of his struggles and trials,
Paul tells us not to lose heart! 
We must cling to this truth; God is ALWAYS at work!

God is always working in our lives for our benefit. That doesn’t mean our lives will be easy. Nor will all our prayers be answered the way that we want. But what we do know is we serve a good and loving Father who graciously extends grace upon grace on our behalf.

God has amazing plans for our lives, but our lives are not to bring us glory, but to glorify the One who made us… our Creator, Redeemer and good, good Father.
So do not lose heart, sweet friend. In today’s changing world now is the time to shine for Jesus!

He purposefully created you for this time in history.
(I love this statement.  WoW, just think about that for a moment.  He put us here, at this time in history, for His purpose.  WoW again!)

Don’t shrink back! Embrace His grace and contrary to the world around us, choose to live your life in gratitude. TOGETHER, let’s glorify our Lord by living lives focused on Him!

Make no mistake,

God is moving powerfully.

Do not lose heart!
