Jesus is the Son of God!

It is so easy to have doubt.  Doubt that Jesus was really who we believe that He is or that He was really the ONE.  I know that I have had my fair share of doubt and it has only come recently too.  Satan is trying to get me to stop pursuing a relationship with Christ, and so he is implanting these seeds of doubt in my mind.  Like, “was Jesus really THAT arrogant to think that HE was the son of God?” or “People like Joseph Smith claimed to be the be-all-end-all for his religion – Mormons only really look at his good things that he did, not the bad (of which there was plenty…)”  It is so easy to say – “why do I believe that Jesus is the son of God?”

You know- the Bible wasn’t always the Bible.  It was written all over the place, it was brought together by people to give us a glimpse into who and what God really is and was and is to come.  It was written all over the world, in different parts of the world at different times in the world.  These people didn’t set out and say, “I think that I am going to write a Bible today”, they were recording history and their situations.  Something that helped me was looking into it on-line.  I love that MIT did a study on it!  It was about how many prophesies did Jesus fulfill?  There were 48 main prophesies that were made and Jesus fulfilled everyone of them – the likelihood that he could fulfill even 8 of these, mathematically speaking, is one in ONE TRILLION.  Okay – if that wasn’t enough – he fulfilled everyone of them! 

“The chance of any one man's fulfilling all of 48 prophecies is one in ten to the 157th power.  The electron is about as small an object as we can imagine.  If we had a cubic inch of these electrons and tried to count them, it would take us (at 250 per minute) 19,000 times 19,000 times 19,000 years to count them. Now mark one of them and thoroughly stir it into the whole mass.  What chance does our blindfolded man have of finding the right electron?”  (http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824-How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Jesus-Fulfill-)

And that is only ONE of the many sites that speak of all the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled.  They detail quite a few of them out.  It is pretty cool to know, and be reassured, that we are following the Son of God- that the likely hood is so low that there would be another that could ever fulfill all the prophesies made, all over the world and at different times in the world.  Praise God!

John 1:1-5
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

Definitely get into scripture and see for yourself, research and be reassured.  I feel like I am on Reading Rainbow back in the day…  “But don’t take my word for it…”

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know ...

You are where you are...

Today – I think that the verse speaks enough of itself: 1 Corinthians 7:17, “Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him.   This is the rule I lay down to all the churches.”   I don’t think that it is just to the churches.   I think it is to everyone – everywhere…   The Message Bible says it this way “And don’t be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else.   Where you are right now is God’s place for you.   Live and obey and love and believe right there.” There isn’t much more to say about this, other than we have to accept where we are, and know that is where God wants us right now.   We may have felt called elsewhere in the past, and questioning God’s purpose for us now, but if we are following Him, we are where He wants us to be.   I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
