Do you know the promises God has made to us? In order to know them we have to read our bible. Where is your bible right now? Is it still laying where you left it after you got home from church on Sunday morning, or from CR last Tuesday? Or maybe it has a particular spot in which you keep it. Wherever it is, do you use it every day or does it collect dust until the next time you need it for church?
You see, we all want the promises of God, but sometimes we want to attain them our own way. It won't work. God has a plan for every single one of us. We can't expect to fulfill that plan if we don't know what God's word says. What is God's plan for you? When was the last time you thought about it? Without God's direction and guidance we are much like a fish out of water. We simply don't know what it is we are supposed to do and are unable to attain the happiness and prosperity that God wants us to have.
There are no quick fixes to the things we come up against in our lives. But God has a plan. First we have to let go and let God.....then as we learn to apply His Word to our lives, we can come to understand and enjoy the promises God has for us.
Standing on the promises,
Laura S.

Thank you for the reminder to spend time in God's Word. It can become so easy to ask the opinions of others when life gets complicated instead of asking the One who has the answers we so desperately need. We as believers have the privilege of hearing from God personally. It is our responsiblity to search Him out for ourselves in order to know His will and plan for us.
Hey Laura,
You're stepping on toes! Thanks! Even I need to be reminded once in a while to make time for God's word. Life really is so much easier when I do. God bless you!! I really did enjoy Tony's lesson on tithe and offering Tuesday. I would have liked to give my "2 cents" about the reason to pay tithes. God has blessed Dale and I so much and I know that it's because we are faithful with our tithing. I do think we need to up our offerings though.
