what fuels your faith?

Psalm 69:32 NLT

The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

What encourages you?

Who speaks life and strength in to you?

Where do you find refreshment and renewing?

How do refuel energy and stamina?

Those are some important questions to know the answers for. Do you agree? When you know the answers and don’t go after them, there is most definitely a problem.

Isaiah 40:31 NLT

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Think about this for a few minutes. What keeps us from going to the things that build us in to stronger and more faith filled people?

What discourages you?

Who zaps you of your strength?

Where do feel used or drained?

How do you lose engird and want to quit?

It is important to know where those things happen as well. Those answers often are easier to find that the ones we first asked. Why is it easier to find the negative than the positive?

What we dwell on we become like. Who we spend time with we become like. What we absorb and think about and look at for a long time becomes what we value most.

I challenge you, as I am challenged today, to find the positive, find the people who fuel your like and feed your faith. Once you find them spend time with them. Leave those behind that suck the life and energy away from you.

John 10:10 NLT

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation. We come to Friday. The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good? Jesus was treated as a criminal. He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him. His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure. That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the Passion of the Christ . Yet it is a good day. It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart. What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me: He is Redemption and Redeemer He too our Pain and Punishment He is our Righteousness and Reality He is the Savior and Life All of those happened from the cross. It was meant for the worst lawbreakers. It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law. It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus. Look
