--WE CAN TRUST GOD, ALWAYS~~

When troubles come our way, we can be stressed and upset, or we can trust God. Scripture says to set your minds and keep them set on what is above…..the higher things (Colossians 3:2). When giants are in the land, when doubts swarm your mind, turn your thoughts to God. Your best thoughts are God-thoughts. He is above all this mess!

Scripture declares of God, He is “the most High over all the earth” (Psalm 83:18). Later on the same psalmist asks, “Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD?” It’s a good question! Pain does not plague God. The economy doesn’t faze him. The weather doesn’t disturb him. Diseases don’t infect him and death cannot claim him.

The apostle Paul says God is “able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). Ponder the holiness of God. Let his splendor stun you, inspire you, and chase your troubles away!

--A LEGACY LIFE~~

-WHILE STAYING in a hotel in a small town I noticed that the church across the street was having a service. People were jammed into the church with a flowing out onto the sidewalk. When I noticed a hearse by the curb, I realized it was a funeral. And given the crowd, I assumed that it was the celebration of the life of some local hero--perhaps a wealthy businessperson or a famous personality. Curious, I said to the desk clerk, "That's an amazing turnout for a funeral; it must be for a famous person in town."

"No," he replied. "He wasn't rich or famous but he was a good man."

This reminded me of the wisdom of the proverb that says, "A good name is more desirable than great riches" (PROV. 22:1). It's a good idea to think about what kind of legacy we are leaving for our family, friends, and neighbors. From God's perspective it's not our resume' or the amount of money we've accumulated that matters but rather the kind of life we have lived. We live our life here on earth to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

When a friend of mine passed away, his daughter wrote, "This world has lost a righteous man and in this world that is no small thing!" It's that kind of legacy that we should be seeking for the glory of God~~
