We have a great group of women and they believe in the Faith that Christ has given each one us! Our Bible Study meets on Wednesday nights in the Fellowship Hall (we outgrew our room). This page is dedicated to our weekly blog, hopefully uplifting and encouraging all women who read.
Weekly Blog: Life and Attitude If I could sum up "Why am I here?" or "My life sucks!" or "I'm not wanted." I would say it in two words..BUT GOD! The Word of God tells us that we are not promised tomorrow... "Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth (Proverbs 21:1)".
Let's look at WHY AM I HERE...Well, you had no choice. Your parents brought you into this world and here you are. I know, you're looking for a deeper meaning. Yes, God has a plan for every person on this planet! But some seek after God and others, well, they try to find 'the meaning of life' through other things and other ways: Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, Relationships, Religion instead of a relationship with God, etc., and still their life is not fulfilling. Why? Because they/you have left God out of the mix. Sin may paint a beautiful picture, but it doesn't show the aftermath of the sin. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans6:23)". God gave us freewill; either reject or serve. What have you chosen?
MY LIFE SUCKS...really, are you sure? If you have Christ in you then life, though it may be a challenge, can be good. Our attitude toward Christ and toward others can be tainted if all we/you do is look at the bad things/people. Does your life really suck? Check your attitude. I remember the time I got saved and the next morning as I got up to go to work, I went to the kitchen and said good morning to my mom and her question was, "Why are you in a good mood?" I said, "I got saved last night." Her response was , 'So?". At that moment, I was hurt and perplexed. As I got into my car, I thought the grass was greener and the sky was bluer. BUT the devil got into my ear with his intrusive thoughts and I began to doubt what had happened. My attitude changed and as I look back, it affected my whole day. Our attitude plays an important part in our life. You might want to check your attitude.
What about I'M NOT WANTED? Well, you are. You have let the devil control your thoughts and actions and you feel that no one wants you or to be around you. God wants you. He has wanted you for your entire life but you have tried to find the answers in all the wrong places. God wants you to come to Him when things aren't going the way you want them to and HE wants you when things are good. The old adage "Life isn't fair" is very true. But how we react and how we look at things can be changed in our lives. Are you surrounding yourself with nay-Sayers or encouragers? Are you listening to God or to those who will give pity? Again, look at your attitude and what you project. We all have 'down' days, but how we respond to those days will get us through the hard, sometimes even, horrible days.
Get in the Word of God and listen for His voice. If you can't hear His voice, go to prayer and ask Him to forgive you for your sins and let Him know you want to hear His voice. Then....STOP.....PRAY....LISTEN. If you listen long and hard enough, He will be there. Maybe in the form of a friend or a song, and even in the Word HE STILL SPEAKS!
Make the conscious choice of changing your attitude and outlook on life with the help of God Almighty! BUT GOD!!
