Are you richer than 75% of people in the world?

1. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than seventy-five percent of the people in the world.

2. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

3. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are more blessed than five hundred million people in the world.

Awesome God

Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
Selah

God Knows You

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)

God knows you!  He knows the details of your life.  Nothing is hidden from Him!  He sees when you sit and when you rise.  He is familiar with all your ways.  He knows each word you will speak.  He was there the moment you were conceived.  He formed you in your mother’s womb.  There is no where you can go to flee from the Lord.  He is everywhere you go.  He will never leave you, never forsake you, and never let you go!

The Lord sees even your darkest days.  He promises to bring a rainbow after every storm you face.

How Majestic

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

Childlike Faith

If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; thought he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23-24)

I watched a great display of childlike faith when my family was here to visit.  My nephew Andrew has managed to teach me many lessons of my Father in Heaven through his 5 years of life.  The above photo is a perfect example of one recent lesson Andrew taught me.

He would jump from the edge of the pool into his dad’s arms.  Notice, he has the floaties on his arms… so no matter what he would float.  Yet, I watched Andrew say these words to his Dad, “Come closer Dad.”  Andrew wanted to make sure that his dad would be there to catch him when he jumped.  Dustin reassured him and let him know that he would be there.  Dustin didn’t move closer, he didn’t argue with his son, he simply let him know that he would catch him when he jumped. Dustin has been an amazing father to his children, they have never had to doubt his love for them.  They have never had to wonder if he will be there to catch them when they jump.  He has given them no reason to doubt his love.
