While We Were Still Sinners

     Some days, things go great for us. We have really good days when we know God loves us -- we can see the proof! But other days, things just plain stink. The day just keeps getting worse and worse, and we find ourselves asking, "Where are you, God?" Here are two Bible verses that help remind us God loves us.

"For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones."

~ Psalm 37:28

"But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

~ Romans 5:8

This shows us how God really cares. Even if it seems like God has abandoned us, we just have remember that He has a plan, and he won't forsake us. God loved us so much that even when we were still filled with sin and evil, He had His own Son, Jesus, die for us. We were worth absolutely nothing. But to God, we were worth positively everything -- His own Son.

Your Will Be Done

      When we pray The Lord's Prayer, we think we understand it -- and sometimes we do. But there are a few spots in which we just recite the same old prayer just to say it, without really knowing what it means. One of these places is in this phrase:

Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven.

Why do we have trouble with this?

     Because sometimes we don't really mean it at all. We pray, "Yes God, do whatever you want in my life," but really we're still holding back. Sometimes when we pray those words, what we really mean is,

 "Your kingdom come,
My will be done,
because You can make it happen."

That prayer would work out great if we had the wisdom and forsight of God.

      But, we don't. We're much to near-sighted to know what's best for us -- we're so close to the big picture we can't see the whole picture.

  God was the artist, don't you think He'd know a little bit more about the picture than we do?
We need to trust God and walk in His footsteps, sometimes seeing what's ahead, and sometimes not. It's a big step to take, so we might as well start now.

Do Not Fear What They Fear

God's Word tells us that he takes away our fear -- but sometimes we doubt that. For some of us, if we even think about performing or speaking in Church or other places, we are afraid. But doesn't God take away fear? And there are different kinds of fear. What about being afraid your friends will think you're weird if you tell them you're a Christian? Or maybe hust being afraid of telling your friends how you really feel.

"But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened."

1 Peter 3:13

God doesn't say that we can't be frightened -- he means that if we're scared, we shouldn't stop because of it. We should do it anyways! But we need God's help to do things and follow through.


"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

Behold, I Am Doing a New Thing

Isaiah 43:19

"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

Sometimes in life, we get so bogged down we just want a new begining; a clean slate, a fresh start. I feel like at the end of the school year, God gives us a fresh start -- and free time to spend with Him and His Word. Summer is a chance God gets to speak to us easily, when we aren't so busy and surrounded by our friends that we get lost in the moment. We need to stop getting lost in the moment; we need to stop and find a moment to listen God.

Memory Verse

Here's a verse I've been trying to memorize, I just recently got it down:

"In God whose word I praise -- in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"

~ Psalms 56:4
