Do Not Meddle

Today I was reading Proverbs 26:17 and I thought, that I do that sometimes and it is not a good thing to do. It says, "He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears." So I just thought that I should not meddle in someones business. I do this maybe when someone is getting in trouble and I saw it, I don't let them tell their Mom what happen I just get in there and tell her myself. That is wrong of me and I need to purpose to do a better job of that. Maybe you can try to do the same thing with me and hopefully we can stop doing this and give it to the Lord. I pray that the Lord will give us strength to not get into other people's business. I will be working on it myself. I hope this is a blessing to your day!!!

Galatians 2:20

I thought that I would share a verse that my family has been memorizing. It is Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life of which I know live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." I liked that verse because it is so true and we all need to remember it. I think it is a really good reminder to all of us. I hope that you will memorize this verse with my family and hide God's word in your heart.

Noah's Obedience

I think Noah is a great example of how we need to be obedient. God told Noah to build the Ark so that when the flood came it was ready. Noah had obeyed God and did exactly what he told him to do. I know that I do not always obey to the best of my ability. I think it is just a great example that we can follow, Noah was a noble man for God. He did everything God wanted him to do just right. He put everybody and everything that needed to go in the Ark in it. He followed directions the way God wanted him to do it. Remember that when we obey God and follow him we will obey our parents also. I pray that this will encourage you to obey and follow God.

Everything God Made is Good

I was reading Genesis this morning and was reading about how God created everything and it was good. I was thinking because, everything God made is good but people are turning more and more towards the world.We as Christians have to do something about that. We need to not fear man and fear God and share the Gospel with whoever we meet. That is what God calls us to do. We need to follow what God commanded us to do and spread the word of God to many others in this world. I pray that we all can learn this because even I don't share the Gospel with others. I hope this encourages you to share the Gospel with many people.

Be Bold

In our Wisdom Book we have been reading about Boldness. Someone who was very bold in the Bible was Daniel, because when he went in the den with the lions he did not get afraid, he prayed unto the Lord and stayed Bold. He just trusted in the Lord with all of his heart. We also have been reading the 23 Command of Christ, which is Fear Not. We need to fear the Lord and not fear man. There was this one saying that someone wrote, it said something like this: "We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God." So, I liked how that says we fear men so much because we fear god so little. I know that I am trying to fear God more and not man so much. Maybe you can try the same thing. I hope this encourages you to turn more to God and fear him greatly.

A Busy Week of Driver's Ed

This week has been a busy week. I have been at Driver's Ed. Monday through Thursday. I am not used to sitting in a classroom for six hours a day. It got quite boring but it was worth it because I passed my test and got an 98% on the final test. I am so glad that it is over because everybody at home was missing me and I was missing them. We can pray for all of those students in that class that they would come to know the Lord and learn to follow him with the right heart. It was pretty fun going with all of my friends from church. There were seven of us that went from our church. I pray that they will all come to know the Lord and I hope that you will pray for them too.

A Birthday!!!!

Yesterday was Morgan's birthday!!!! She was so excited, and ready to have a party with her best friends (Abby, Tori, Bella, and Ava). Her friends also got to spend the night and watch a movie. They did have a party, they went swimming and ate cupcakes. Morgan had a great time with all of her family and friends. Then we went to Golden Coral to get something for dinner, they announced her name on the loud speakers (Morgi Porgi). She loved it and was so excited about it. She said her favorite part was when she walked into the Tsantles house Uncle Jim said "It's the Birthday Girl". We made her a cupcake cake so I will have to post pictures of her cake. It was so cute!!! She had the best birthday!!!!

Blessings,

Thank the Lord for Salvation

We need to thank the Lord for our salvation that He has given us. In Isaiah 12:2-6 says, "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid: For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song: He also has become my salvation." Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: "Praise the Lord, call upon his name:Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, For He has done excellent things: This is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!" So, with this passage of scripture I thought it is telling us that we need to be grateful for all of the things that the Lord has done for us. I need to remember not to be afraid and always trust in the Lord. Declare his deeds among the people, that to me means that we need to share the gospel with whoever we meet that needs to hear it. I hope this encourages you to share and praise the Lord all of the days. Share the truth with people that need to hear it.

Sing Praises to the Lord

"I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High" (Psalm 7:17). I thought that this verse is what we all need to hear because I know that I do not always sing wholeheartedly to the Lord. We need to praise the Lord whether we like it or not, it is something that we should do according to His righteousness, which he has a lot of righteousness. The Lord has so much righteousness that we can not even compare it because we have like no righteousness compared to the Lord. I hope this encourages you and have a blessed day!!!

Hearing Instruction

Today I was thinking how I do not always here instruction and get prideful. That is not a good thing. I found a verse that says, " Here my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding"(Proverbs 4:1). So I know that most of the time I get very prideful and justify what someone is trying to bring to me. I think that in order to not always get prideful and not take wisdom we need to stay on guard for this. It can pop up so quickly. I hope this encourages you to listen to your earthly father's instructions and your Father in Heaven.

In Christ,

Keep your eyes on the Lord and Praise him.

God's Promises to Noah

I was my Bible this morning and I thought it was good how God told Noah to "Multiply the earth and fill it up". God filled the earth with animals and humans so we need to multiply and continue to fill the earth. People have multiplied the earth but may have done it for the wrong reason. I know that when I get married I want to multiply the earth and fill it with Godly seed. I pray that you would want the same. I hope that this encourages you.
