Overwhelmed? (Psalm 142: 2-3)

  I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.  For I am overwhelmed, and you alone know the way I should turn... Are you overwhelmed? Stressed? Finances maybe?  Have no fear God tells me, even though things may seem out of sync and has the effect of a tornado sweeping through your life.  God is near!  He is still in control when all seems to turn away from you.  He is faithful through the ages.  He was faithful to Abraham when he promised to him the nations that would be born out of him.  He will also be faithful to you.  He doesn't go back on his word.  He is not like most politicians you might know.  His word stays true and will be accomplished. When I am overwhelmed like sometimes you are, I feel trapped and cornered.  The only direction to look is upward where our help come from.  We, then like the psalmist need to ask God for direction.  Ironic is it not? Since humanly, you have nowhere to go.  But God is supernatural and he can take you out of that corne

The Comforts of the Christian Life (Obadiah 1:1-21) (selected verses 10-11)

And why? Because of the violence you did to your relatives in Israel.  Now you will be destroyed completely and filled with shame forever.  For you deserted your relatives  in Israel during their time of greatest  need.  You stood aloof, refusing to lift a finger to help when foreign invaders carried off their wealth and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem.  You acted as though you were on of Israel's enemies.  (Obadiah 10-11) Hi everyone, The book of Obadiah: Obadiah means servant, worshipper of Jehovah I am going to make a bit of a review on the book of Obadiah in the Bible.  The goal is hopefully to encourage you to all read it as it is one of the least read book in the Bible. We have to approach every book of prophecy in the Bible with faith and not fear. This book offers incredible comfort to the people of God as they are protected by Him.  But a great retribution to the nations who rise against them.  In this case Edom vs Israel. In the middle of this book of Obadiah, there is a

He is Coming and yes it is soon! (2 Peter 3:2-4)

 First, I want to remind  you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire.  This will be their argument: "Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he?  Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created." (2 Peter 3:2-4) Although no one knows the hour of Jesus Christ's coming, we sure can now see the signs here on earth.  We go by the signs! Peter, here announced that in the last days scoffers and mockers will be present and today we sure see and hear an abundance of them.  So the evidence of the last days are obvious.  The Bible even quotes what the mockers will say, I paraphrase: "Things have been the same for a long time, when will he ever come?"  But be sure he will come and he will come when there is the least expectation of his coming here on earth.  God just wants to put those mockers out of the way so that his true f
