Let's Get Saved!

I don't know about you but there are times when I need rescuing! Most of the time from myself! But there are times when the world - stress from your job, tension from different difficult situations, life itself - feels overwhelming, and you need to be saved. Remember that ridiculous commercial that said " Calgon, take me away!" It was bubble bath, for pete sake! The woman was relaxing in the tub. Trouble hadn't magically disappeared. The 2 year old was standing right outside the bathroom door. In James 1:19-21 we are reminded that when things are difficult, " humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you."Not only did Christ's death give us eternal salvation but His Word can save us in those difficult times in our lives. Saving grace! Let's continued to be saved!

Keep on listening!

Have you ever heard the saying - "God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth. You should listen twice as much as you talk."Love it!

Post A Note

Thoughtfully reading in James 1:19-27 now, I see the phrase "...take note of this...", and I think of post it notes. The first thing James wants you to do is to be "quick to listen". Grab some post it notes and listen. Write down what you hear in God's Word, what you hear in Nature, what you hear in the voices around you. Listening isn't always easy. There is enough negative speak in our world, so grab a hold of the good! I am going to place the notes with the beautiful words from God and my world and put them all around my home where I can see them and be thankful. JOIN ME!

If you read this and you go to my church, see me tomorrow and I will have a gift of post it notes for you to use!
