Something to think about.
Our Lord Our Rock
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! Psalms 95:1-6
Acknowledge him for all He has done, for He is worthy our praise, He is worthy of our worship.

Fear and Consequences
Something to think about.
Fear and Consequences
4"
I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after
that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to
fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into
hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Luke 12:4-5
Before you quit on God, decide it isn't worth it, follow the intellect
of man or that of false gods. Remember God is bound by His holiness to
carry out justice and pronounce judgement. The end of this life is not
the end of life.

Disbelief
Something to think about.
Disbelief
31
He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither
will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'" Luke
16:31
For some will not believe. They have hardened
their hearts, closed their ears and their love has grown cold. Do not
let that be you.

multiplied, O Lord my God,your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward

are more than can be told. Psalms 40:5

me are without end. I wake up every day and He is with me. That alone is
wonderful.

therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping
his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him
and keep his commandments. 10 But those who hate him he will repay to
their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face
those who hate him. Deuteronomy 7:9-10
If you Love
Him, He will love you, if you hate Him He will destroy you. Notice there
is no place given for ambivalence. You either love Him or hate Him.

Hunger
Something to think about.
Hunger
But he answered, “It
is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

Amazed
Something to think about.
Amazed
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” Matthew 8:27
Are
you amazed? Has Christ become too commonplace in your life? The one
that stilled the waters commanded the elements, healed the sick, walked
on water, raised the dead, and forgave your sin. Is He not amazing to
you? There is not and never will be anyone like Him.

Faith, Hope, Love
Something to think about
Faith, Hope, Love
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-6,13 (ESV)
With all the noise in the world, we need to be reminded, without love we have nothing.

Four Kinds of People
Something to think about.
Four Kinds of People
11 Now
the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the
path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the
word from their hearts,
so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock
are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these
have no root; they believe for a while, and in time
of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they
are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the
cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word,
hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with
patience. Luke 8:11-15
Are you the one that has had the word
stolen from them? Are you the one that crumbles under pressure? Are you
the one that is too concerned with the cares of today? Are you the one
that will bear abundant fruit?

Trust
Something to think about.
Trust
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”Jeremiah 17:7 (ESV)
If you trust God you will be blessed.

God. He is the one that makes our salvation possible.

Confidant
Something to think about.
Confidant
33 Do not be deceived: “Evil
company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not
sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your
shame. 1 Corinthians 15:33-34
1 Blessed Is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; Psalms 1:1
It matters who you associate with. Associate with righteousness and be righteous, associate with the ungodly and be ungodly.

Something to think about.
There Is No Place Like Home
Better
is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the
wicked. Psalm 84:10 NIV
It is simply better to be with God than it is to be anywhere else.

Daniel 6:20-22
Are you in the lion's den, are ravenous people trying to destroy you? Only the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob can save. If you are His.
