JOURNAL/WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL

"At the sight of the crowds-His heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned-LIKE sheep without a shepherd-THEN he said to his disciples-  "'THE HARVEST is abundant but the laborers are few-so ASK the master of the harvest to send out laborers for HIS HARVEST'"
Matthew 9:36-38


A couple of questions we have to ask ourselves are:

WHERE are you going to work for GOD'S KINGDOM today?      and

WHO are you going to call IF trouble calls on you today?

IT IS a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT DAY to KNOW that God NEVER abandons us-is ALWAYS there for us-in times of trouble





















WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL




There is
A popular car dealer down here in Miami
Whose commercial slogan is,


“Who are you going to call?”


Well-that is a good question


Who are we
Going to call
In times of trouble


Of course-we are
Going to call on our family
Of course-we are
Going to call on our friends


But we might be forgetting
The most important entity
We might be forgetting the OMNIPOTENT ONE


We might be
-In times of trouble
Leaving out the most important one


“In this world
You will have trouble
But take courage
I have conquered the world” John 16:33


Jesus never tried
To sugar coat the trouble
We would face in this world


Why would he
He faced every single trouble
We will ever face
And then some


And he won the battle
Why would he
Ever call on anybody else


Who are you
Going to call


“God is our refuge
And strength
And ever present help
In trouble” Psalm 46:1


And Jesus is the representative
The son-The very SON OF GOD
That we Christians know


Why would he
Ever even think
Of calling on somebody else


So whatever our troubles are
And GOD KNOWS
That we ALL have them


Let us keep our eyes
On the ONE
Who is GREATER than the trouble


And the ONE
Who is waiting for us
To claim victory
Just as HE HIMSELF did


“DO NOT
Let your hearts be troubled
Trust in God
Trust also in me” John 14:1


WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?
