What do you desire?
Psalm 19:10 "More to be desired are they than gold, yea than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."
In school we started learning Psalm 19: 7-11 which has been put to song (you don't want to hear me sing *smile) but I was going over the verses with my boys and we were discussing a few things, when one of them, being a boy, made a rather un-desirable sound. One of his brothers was like, you know there are other things that are more desirable than what you did! I got to thinking about that.
What things do we say, do, par-take in, listen to, that is less desirable than what God would want us to say, do, listen to etc?
My son was being your regular 13 yr old boy making disgusting noises with his arm pits. To me an one of his siblings it wasn't desirable. When I spoke with him later about it, I asked him what about that is desirable to you? He simply said, "It's fun."
Friend, soul-winning, reading our Bible, praying, going to church, working in a ministry should be "fun" it should be desirable!
We are told in the Bible "to go out and preach the gospel to EVERY creature!" We are told to go into the highways, and byways to tell others of Christ. Is it always something we desire to do? Nope! I'll be honest when it comes to some things, it's NOT in my comfort zone so therefore it's NOT a desire! Teaching is a desire, I'm in my comfort zone, sitting a doing my blog is desirable, I'm in my comfort zone.
Going out knocking on a total strangers door to ask him if he were to die to day, yes it's desirable BUT it's NOT in my comfort zone. So what do I do?
I take PS 19:10 More to be desired (those going to heaven whom I witness too and accept the free gift; that's desirable)
are they than gold (salvation is better than spending money on earthly possessions when someone could live in Heaven for eternity)
yea than much fine gold (all the gold in the world won't be desirable after the rapture)
sweeter also than honey (the desire of God are sweeter than honey!)
and the honeycomb. (I love a good honeycomb, but that won't matter if I'm not desirable for me Lord)
This is pretty simple, basic thought, but are you desirable?
Is what you say, do, the way you dress is that desirable to the Lord?
Let's be "MORE TO BE DESIRED!"

My God is so Big....
My God is so Big, so Strong and so Mighty there's Nothing (I mean Nothing) my God can not do.
My God is so Big, so Strong and so Mighty there's NOTHING my God can not do.
The Mountains are His (When you're on the Top of a Mountain hes right there!)
The Valley's are His ( are in a valley, hard times, family issues, financial issues? Guess what He is right there!)
The stars are His handiwork too. (as a child an maybe an adult you have wished on a star. God is there to hear that wish!)
My God is so Big, so Strong and so Mighty there's NOTHING (Nothing at all) My God can not do! FOR YOU!!!!
PS 23
1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and they staff they comfort me. (God is with you in the Valley)
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Now if God isn't Big, Strong and Mighty; How could he do all that?!

Growing on the Go....
I'm important to God! Matthew 19:14 "Let the little children come to me"
Jesus wants each of us to know we are important to Him.
We are so important to God that he died on the cross for us, forgave us our sins, rose again and is now waiting at the right hand of God to come back and take us home! WOW!!!
Have you gone through somethings in your life? Don't keep dwelling on it. Why? You are important to God and you give it all to Him.
Do you wonder at times if you are loved? Guess what? No matter what God loves!! Why? You are important to God!
This past wkend I was at our Ladies conference and one of the speakers talked about forgiving. If we forgive and submit to God he can do so much more with our lives. Don't hold on to the "baggage" in your life. Give it to God and let him do a work in you. Why? Because you ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD!!!!

Growing on the Go....
I know in today's world we are always run here and run there. Do we take time to make sure our children are growing Spiritually when we get busy? Over the next several weeks I'm going to post some on the Go things that anyone can do to help their children through the days, weeks, and months of going all the time.
Growing in My Awareness of God. Now
~ Teach your child about God's love. John 3:16
~ Help your child to understand the TRUE way of Creation Genesis 1 & 2
~ Teach them how people are different
~ Teach your child about God's plan, and that he has a plan for each of us.
These are a few of many things we can teach our children.
On teaching our children about Gods love you can read
Psalm 107:1
Psalm 73:1
Luke 1:37
I John 4:10
Remember always to pray with your children it doesn't matter how young or how old they are, we should pray with them.

Do You know where you'll Spend Eternity?
Today in church our Preacher, preached a sermon on "Say So". What are we to say so about? We are to say we are Christian, we are to tell other about Christ. I know it's been awhile since I posted the plan of salvation on my blogs. I try to keep everything uplifting and positive.
This is so very crucial that you know where you'll spend eternity.
Let me share with you how you can know that you'll spend eternity in Heaven not Hell.
I John 5:13
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
First we need to realize we're all sinners. Romans 5:12
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned;" (One man - the first man, Adam)
Revelation 20:14
" And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
My friend if your not saved you'll die here on earth, but then there's a death that is far worse which is the 2nd death. We're referring to Hell in this verse.
However God has paid that price for us already if we only accept him as Saviour.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death; BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
How can we avoid the 2nd death, Hell?
Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:9-11
:That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
If you only ask and believe in Faith that the Lord died for your sins and that he is ready right this very minute to take you as his own and has and will forgive you of your sins!!
Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
If you want to have this free gift say (read) this prayer:
Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner, if I died now in my sin, I would go to Hell Right now, by faith, I am trusting You as my personal Saviour and my only hope for Heaven. Thank you for dying on the cross for me and for saving me from an eternity in Hell. In Jesus name, Amen!

"Shall We Gather at the River"
Think of gathering at the River in Heaven after the rapture! Wow!!! Wonderful thoughts of heaven and being in a perfect place!
Revelation 22:1-7
Vr 1 "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With it's crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Soon we'll reach the shining river;
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather wit the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
We can't even begin to imagine what heaven will be like, but isn't it wonderful to think of all the glories and beauties that are there. The loved ones we have missed here on here on earth will be there and we'll all be gathered there with our Saviour!!!
