Spiritual Thoughts

“Its magical thinking to believe that since I’ve been living for God he owes me a blessing. Instead, God says trust Me and follow Me, even in the bad times. My response to Him in every situation is the important thing. Shall we praise Him in the good and complain in the bad?
Anxiousness is when we trust ourselves instead of God for the future. Shalom (peace) is when we trust God for the future and truly accept whatever He gives, knowing that in His plan, we are cared for, even if our circumstances stink.”
John Reader

“I don’t know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.”
Ralph Abernathy (1926-1990), American civil rights activist and Baptist minister

“It’s easy to praise God on the mountain, when all is good and you’re surrounded by beauty and others in worship. But that time must end. We must go back to work and life and a broken world. We return to long hours and honey do lists and interruptions to our day.
It is then that we find whether the God we worshipped on the mountain is the one true God who is with us in the valley, or just some emotional high we experienced.
The true God comforts us in the trials of life. The false God condemns us.
The true God sustains us in our weakness, the false God drains us.
The true God calls us to love others, the false God teaches us to love ourselves.”
John Reader
