Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late? If not; today is a good time to start catching up!




1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.  Isaiah 51:1-2 (KJV)

The art or process of mapping a journey overland, sea, air or space requires the use of fixed or known reference points along the route.  It naturally begins with a starting points and the identification of a destination.  When covering large distances “way points” are established to (1) measure distance traveled and for (2) course correction to ensure one is still on the planned route.  Way points are also places where one can restock supplies, rest and refit for the journey. 

The Hebrews of Isaiah’s time had a “history” with God and here He calls them for a stroll down memory lane.  Modern day Believers also have a “history” with God and today would be good to reflect on how far you’ve come with God since you answered His call and surrendered your life, soul and will to Him?  Today’s scripture calls on us to a way point in our history with God.

Take just a moment to think about where you were then and where you are today.  How has your life changed?  How much have you progressed in your journey with God?  How many of His and your goals have you accomplished? How much deeper is your commitment and relationship with Him today when compared with when you were saved? Now, are you confident you’ve come as far as God wanted you to?  Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late?  If not; today is a good time to start catching up!

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Patience is really a prime element of successful living

"Patience is a Virtue" you've heard it said and it's one most of us neglect to seek. Patience is really a prime element of successful living. Good parents are patient parents, good cooks are patient, good teachers are patient, good fishermen are patient, good workers are patient and good Christians are patient. These persons know sometimes you just have to wait for the right moment for the elements of success to assemble themselves. Into each life trails will come but if we learn to wait and trust in God's Provision and Wisdom by faith our lives will be enriched with growth and knowledge. 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trails, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  James 1:1-4 (NKJV)

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro
