Bible Verse Of The Day

“ Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”” (Matthew 20: 17-19)  listen to chapter  (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)

Look Up

Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here. I got a bit sidetracked with facebook.

I thought I'd give you a little lesson on a bat and a bumblebee.



A bat, when on the flat ground, can't go anywhere. He will not be able to fly away. He will flounder until he reaches a slight elevation. Then he can take off and fly as he was meant to do.





A bumblebee, when caught in an open glass jar, will continuely bump against the side. Trying to find his way out through the side. He is unable to fly straight up.
He will continue to try, until he is all used up.

All this to say, don't we try to do the same thing with our problems. All we would have to do, is look up. But what we do instead, is to keep trying on our own to solve the problem. We talk to our friends, read books or articles or just sit and wallow in our problem and never move from it.

What our first response should be, is to look up. God is the one who can handle all our problems big or small. We just need to give them to Him. He is the only one with ALL the answers.

The solution is simple. The application....well, I guess now that's up to each one of us individually.

God Bless
