GOD'S PROMISES - FREE

With all the bad things happening in the world today it is easy to become fearful of living life and doing everyday things.

"You want to go shopping at the mall. You send your kids to school to get a good education. Your older children are going to parties and nightclubs. You and your family are going to concerts and festivals."

These are all things that we do in our everyday life but every time you turn around you hear instances of mass destruction happening to people while engaging in these normal activities.

One thing we cannot do is give into fear. Fear will have you tied up in knots and not ever wanting to leave your house. It will also make you not want your kids to grow older and participate in normal life activities.

Pray and ask God to free you from the fear of living. Ask Him for direction and guidance in all areas of your life. Pray that He will lead and guide you and your family so that you are always in the right place at the right time.

GOD'S PROMISES - NO MATTER HOW SMALL

God can guide you in the right direction when making decisions in your life no matter how big or how small.

I went shopping the other day and saw a pair of tennis shoes that I wanted to buy. When I found my size and opened the box I realized that they were not the charcoal gray color that I was looking for but they were light gray. They were on sale so I tried them on anyway deciding whether or not to buy them. 

I really wanted the charcoal gray color so I decided to take one last look to see if they were there and just maybe I had overlooked them. To my surprise they had the charcoal gray in my size. 

Once I tried them on I wasn't sure which color to buy.  At first glance I liked the charcoal gray but once they were on my feet the light gray were different and more appealing. 

I wasn't sure which to buy and after some thinking decided to go with the light gray. Once I got home and looked in my closet I realized that I had a light gray shirt that matched the shoes I just bought!

I was so surprised and thankful at how God directed me to buy the right color shoes without me even realizing that He was helping me make the right choice!

Isn't God great!  If He can do something so small, imagine how He will handle the big decisions in your life!
