“Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.”
Matthew 6:19, CSB
We need God. Wanting and having things is not bad, but only God satisfies all our needs, especially for eternal life and peace of heart, mind, and soul.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10, CSB
We need God. He came to us and for us in the person of Christ, and we can find comfort and peace in knowing He has sought us first. Choose Christ daily.
It is harder to get a job at this moment. I even saw an article Saturday (Nov. 1) about “ghost jobs,” posted job opportunities that do not actually exist within a company but are used to either scare current employees into working better or to inspire investors.
Add into this the number of people with little or no experience, and many jobs are more often requiring experience. It can make job hunting intimidating.
Let us pray for all those job searching, including Jimmy’s friend.
Daniel
This Sunday at Church: Pray for members in your church who are looking for employment.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, and we must live in the light of Jesus’ victory on the cross, knowing that we may fight battles but He has won the war already.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, and our enemy will try to steal our peace and make us doubt our salvation. Scripture is our primary weapon to fight back and remain near our Savior who fights for us.
Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy — dwell on these things.
Philippians 4:8, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, and focusing on all the good things in this life that God has done and is doing, that we do together in the Church, directly combats the evil forces we struggle against.
So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, so we focus on our eternal God who created us, has saved us, and indwells us in power and grace to face this war with c9nfidence and boldness.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
