Things Happen

(From The Minister's Desk)




A nationally known TV pastor said, "Things don't happen to us. Things happen for us."


Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

*** As we think back on events and happenings in our life - these things came to make us stronger,
to humble us more to God, to help us accept the things we can not change and wisdom to know the difference, to shed a different light upon our life, also to let us know God was working it out for our good.


Psalm 34:7 & 15 - 17

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all thier troubles.


*** It does not matter which direction our problems come from: North, East, South or West God protects us by building a fortress - wall of protection all around us. He gives his angels charge to watch over us all day and all night.


*** When christians are heavy laiden and burden down God hears our call of desperation and deliver us from all our troubles. He makes a way for us to escape - because his is the way, the truth and the light.

*** God is so awesome, he not only tells angels to watch over us, we have double indemnity - protection - because he too is watching and listening for our call out to him.

*** When christians fall God reaches way down to pick us up with his right hand, his righteous hand, hand of power and dominion.


*** When things continue to happen in our life and we know it is not of God - continue to call on his holy name, Jesus, there is power in that name - until we meet again soon.
