When in Troubled Waters

When in troubled waters, make sure hope is on your boat. When the disciples were in stormy waters it was Jesus who calmed the sea. Welcome Jesus abroad but remember He who is Master of the sea wishes to be THE Master of your life. Captain Hope must pilot the ship. Ask Jesus to come aboard and step out of the way!

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (De 31:6)

Are the Hassles of Life Dragging You Down?

Don't let everyday affairs drag you down. 

Sometimes the little hassles of life become exaggerated and exasperating.  They can become overwhelming. 

Take these everyday challenges in stride and overcome one at a time. Don't allow life's little conflicts dictate your attitude.  Seek the Lord even for the small hassles.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2

Yes! You Can!

Do not let the devil or the world deceive you into believing you are trapped or predestined to a certain way of life. God has the power and he will grant the grace to change you and any state of affairs you may find yourself. There only two requirements. You must be willing to change and seek by faith his help.

A small note: The role of a good Bible believing and Bible practicing church can be a great source of encouragement. 

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: -1 Peter 5:8
