Cell Phones vs The Bible

Cell Phone  VS  11

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones.

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you go …hmm…where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because the bill has already been paid by our Lord Jesus Christ.
I hope this makes you stop and think.. “Where are my priorities?” And remember: with HIM there are no dropped calls

12 CAST YOUR BREAD UPON THE WATERS, FOR AFTER MANY DAYS YOU WILL FIND IT AGAIN. GIVE PORTIONS TO SEVEN, YES TO EIGHT, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT DISASTER MAY COME UPON THE LAND. ECCLESIASTES 11:1-2 *NIV

Many people have wondered what is meant by “Cast your bread upon the water, and you will find it.” Well, it is An old Hebrew Idiom meaning to give to charity and it will be returned to you.

After all it is written: HE WHO IS KIND TO THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL REWARD HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. PROVERBS 19:17 This is because, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POOR PEOPLE IN THE LAND. THEREFORE I COMMAND YOU TO BE OPENHANDED TOWARD YOUR BROTHERS AND TOWARD THE POOR AND NEEDY IN YOUR LAND. DEUTERONOMY 15:11

So, always remember those who are in need, and the homeless among us: SO THE POOR HAVE HOPE, AND INJUSTICE SHUTS ITS MOUTH. JOB 5:16 After all our Savior Jesus Christ said, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHAT-EVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID FOR ME.” MATTHEW 25:40 Amen

24 WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED, AND WHY DO DOUBTS RISE IN YOUR MINDS? LUKE 24:38 *NIV

We are all Architects of our own future! The thoughts we have today dictate what our future holds for us tomorrow. Therefore a person who has positive thoughts shall have positive results, just as a person who has negative thoughts shall attract negative results in their life.

Therefore if we start our day by counting all of our blessings, and then try our best to have positive thoughts all day, our hearts will be merry! After all, BLESSINGS CROWN THE HEAD OF THE RIGHTEOUS, because, FROM THE FULLNESS OF HIS GRACE WE HAVE ALL RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER. [ PROVERBS 10:6 & JOHN 1:16]

After all, EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENLY LIGHTS, WHO DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS. JAMES 1:17

So, SING AND MAKE MUSIC IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD, ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. EPHESIANS 5:19-20

Have a wonderful day feeling blessed, and may God’s Grace be with you! Amen!

27 NOW GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN. FOR WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, AND IT IS CERTAIN WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT. 1 TIMOTHY 6:7 *NKJV

In this World today it is so easy to get caught up trying to make money, that it can become number one in our lives. We may even forget at times how very short our human life is compared to our Eternal life! FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY. JAMES 4:14

We also may become easily distracted by those around us, who are so consumed by the love of money that they have lost sight of what is most important! If the truth be known those people often have very unhappy lives, for it is written; THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL, FOR WHICH SOME HAVE STRAYED FROM THE FAITH IN THEIR REEDINESS AND PIERCED THEMSELVES THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS. 1 TIMOTHY 6:10

Now that doesn’t mean we should live a life of poverty at all. For God wants His Children to prosper, after all He said; BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, THAT YOU MAY OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE LAW WHICH MOSES MY SERVANT COMMANDED YOU; DO NOT TURN FROM IT TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT, THAT YOU MAY PROSPER WHEREVER YOU MAY GO. JOSHUA 1:7

So when others distract you it is important to remember that as a Child of God you have an even better life ahead of you! A life without pain, sorrow, sickness or any other adversity! One with the Angels, Arc-Angels and all the Company of Heaven. An Eternal life with God and your loved one’s who have already passed before you. So always; SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH. COLOSSIANS 3:2 For then you will find true peace and happiness when you do!

Therefore; I PRAY THAT YOU MAY PROSPER IN ALL THINGS AND BE IN HEALTH, JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS. Amen. 3 JOHN 2

17 AND THE LORD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES BEFORE YOU. HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU; DO NOT FEAR NOR BE DISMAYED. DEUTERONOMY 31:8 *NKJV

There are times when we are fearful of current events or even the future, for fear is a tool that satan uses to attack our faith in oumir Heavenly Father. After all fear causes worry, and what is worry and fear anyway, but the opposite of faith!

Now it is important for a Child of God to remember that GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 And God has made us this promise, FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT HAND, SAYING TO YOU, “FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP YOU.” ISAIAH 41:13

So, the next time that fear strikes you remember to hold fast to your faith! After all you can always CAST ALL YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD, AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN YOU; HE SHALL NEVER PERMIT THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED. PSALM 55:22

FINALLY, BRETHREN, FAREWELL. BECOME COMPLETE. BE OF GOOD COMFORT, BE OF ONE MIND, LIVE IN PEACE; AND THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU. 2 CORINTHIANS 13:11

Therefore, have a great day today filled with peace, and remember that “Worry is the darkroom in which negatives are developed.” Amen.
