what about your future

Let's close out the week with some thoughts that might get the weekend going in a little different direction. It might be a little research or reflective, but I think this will be very helpful. It has been for me.

Proverbs 23:18 NASB

Certainly there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.

That is good, but I share another verse that we often hear. It is a promise from God. Claim it. Think hard about it.

Jeremiah 29:11 NASB

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Now for the research.

What are some of your dreams or desire for your future and your family’s future?

What are you doing to get you to what you desire for your future?

Hard questions. Takes some reflection as well as honesty. God has a plan as well.

If we care about what God wants and want to follow where He leads, our dreams will be from Him and even about Him. How are you going to pursue God to know and have those dreams?

Those are good questions. They are hard too.

Hope that gets you thinking on this Friday.

Have a great weekend, and may God give you lots to think about as we remember that He is good and His plan for us is incredible!

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
