WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?

Going home the other night I was following behind someone who was bucking and weaving all over the road, bobbing their head, and who swerved over into on-coming traffic repeatedly. At first, I just layed on the horn in hopes of waking them from their evening nap behind the wheel, thinking maybe the person had fallen asleep. It kept happening over and over until I finally called the police to report possible drunk driving. Last week I was at my brother's softball game and heard a couple of gunshots, watched people run and scatter behind where I was sitting. Then there were a few more shots fired. The people around me just talked about what they were hearing and seeing. I went ahead and walked in the direction of the shots that I had heard, to make sure someone had not been shot and left for dead. Brought my phone with me and made the call for back up. It very well could have been something that needed to be investigated. Some of the people running past me trying to get away while hearing sirens quickly approaching were asking each other where the guy was that had gotten shot in the leg (possible eye witnesses).

I started thinking after I made the last 911 call the other day, how much do I call on the Lord for help? When we see others in trouble do we go to their rescue or do we just talk about what's wrong? What do we do to assist them? Do we call for help?

"I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." Psalm 18:3

"As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me." Psalm 55:16

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
