"My help comes from the Lord Who made heaven and earth."~ Jeremiah 3:23

SoulThought of the day:

Every snowflake pleads 'not guilty' when an avalanche occurs.

My Backyard

Several people that I know have recently came back from overseas missionary trips. Believing in the great commission, someday, I hope to also have the opportunity to serve much the same way in some capacity.

But for right now, my focus remains in my own backyard. There is so much in the way of need. Why isn't there more interest being shown about the issues taking place, right here, in my own backyard? Why are Christian brothers and sisters so readily able to contribute to a overseas cause; yet, tend to ignore, shrug helplessly, look the other way or are either extremely reluctant to help those in our own backyards?

So, until then...

I will continue to do for others what I can, right where I am, one person at a time.

Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."~ Ambrose Redmoon


One sure thing.. if I have nobody, I have Jesus! He will meet us right where we are at in our lives and walk with us no matter how ugly the circumstances. I have learned that to be courageous is to simply rest in His sovereignty, trusting only in Him with the outcome and with my well-being.


Oh, that quality called courage
What a difference it can make
It will rise up deep within you
And the devil's power will break.

When the enemy's before you,
And he's taunting you with fear
That quality called courage
Will remind you God is near.

And with quiet reassurance
His Word will let you know
That His presence will be with you
No matter where you go.

Oh, that quality called courage
It cannot be denied.
When the giants of life assail you,
And defeat is but implied.

Turn your eyes and look at Jesus
Not on who or what's around,
And with that quality called courage
Watch those giants come tumbling down!
