Summer Time is Here!

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

I can't speak for everyone but summer is my favorite time of year and it has always been that way. Now that I work for the school system it is like a bonus that we get to take off a few weeks every summer to relax. Whether you head for the beach, the mountains or just the backyard it is a blessing to be able to time off from our usual routines and go on a vacation. Just a friendly reminder, God has blessed us with this time off and we should not neglect to give the glory to Him that he is due. Have a blessed summer!

This blog will resume when summer ends. 

Great is your Love...

Lessons from James - 5

There are so many great lessons in the book of James that you really ought to take time to study it for yourself. Every time I go through it I find new ideas and thoughts. I started to share a different idea from James and when thinking through it one more time I decided to focus on James 5:16.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. NLT

I have to admit that this verse seems hard to me. The idea of opening my secret thoughts and telling them to someone is quite scary. What will they think of me? Who might they tell? How do we know who to trust? 

Clearly, James tells us that we should confess and pray for one another. Pray for a close friend and someone who will be a good confidant. This verse promises us blessings of wonderful results when we trust the Lord and confess and pray.
