9/11 (9th Anniversary)

“Cast all your anxiety on Him,

because He cares for you.”

~1 Peter 5:7~

Please pray for the families who suffered losses nine years ago today and for the families who have suffered losses because of someone who helped in the aftermath of 9/11. Pray for our country!

Robbie Lynn C. Kirby and Erin Evanoff are both working to get their pain eased following procedures done Thursday. Pray for both of them to have a good day today.

Pray for Rev. Bobby Eads as he continues to have heart issues. He is wearing a monitor so the doctor can assess his situation better.

My cousin, Scott, has been taken to a hospital in Alexander, LA. He will not be near any of his family. Pray for Scott and his family to depend on God to get them through this very difficult time.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…”

Philippians 2:10

IMAGINE HAVING THE world’s most valuable masterpiece, a work of art that would bring thirty or forty million dollars if you auctioned it…

Then imagine that instead of taking that masterpiece to the auction, you took it to a pawn shop, pawned it for twenty bucks, and blew the whole wad on crayons and paper so you could decorate your own walls.

Or imagine being offered a lifetime pass to the city’s best buffet spread, only to reject it in favor of one meal at a truck stop. Silly? Ludicrous? Absolutely insane? All of that and more. People with even an ounce of sense don’t squander glory on garbage. But that’s what idolatry is. That’s what the people of Judah were doing in Jeremiah’s day, and that’s what we do with alarming ease today.

Think about how much God is worth. He can create anything, so whatever we have, He has something better. He governs and sustains everything, so every circumstance we encounter must bow to Him. And He has promised lavish blessings for eternity, so all our cravings will be exgtravagantly exceeded by His good gifts. Logically, there’s nothing we would take in exchange for a relationship with this God. Practically, that’s exactly what we often do.

“Has a nation changed its gods, which are not gods?

But My people have changed their Glory for what does not profit.”

~Jeremiah 2:11~
