Jesus My Best Friend

This week has been a very busy week for me at church. It has been our Vacation Bible School. As part of what I do for Bible School is the praise and worship each night along with my dad, my nephew and one of our young ladies in our church. One of the songs that we sang each night was the coolest praise and worship song….I may have to send it out next week as the weekly update.

The song was called Jesus My Best Friend. I love the chorus so simple but what we should all strive for…the chorus said, “Jesus you are my best friend, you will always be, nothing will ever change that, Jesus you are my best friend, you will always be, nothing will ever change that.”

I wish you could have all been there to see the children’s face as they sang that song and has they did the simple motions to the chorus. One girl, she’s in my Sunday school class, I wish I could have captured her face on camera, and I hope someone did. She was singing her heart out on that song and worshipping God, and you knew by the look on her face that she meant the words to that song.

It made me realize more and more this week that no matter the storms no matter the trials that we are going through, we absolutely must put our faith and our trust in our best friend, Jesus!

Blessings!

The Best is Yet to Come

I was sitting here thinking about so many things that have been happening in my life here of late, all the hardships I’ve seen people go through, all the struggles that family and friends have had to endure, when a old song began to play in my mind. I remember as a child hearing my parents and some of my uncles and aunts sing this song together and it’s meaning means so much to me even more than I think I ever realized it would.
The song goes like this “Oh the best is yet to come when I walk through Heaven’s gates, oh the 1st time I see Jesus oh I can hardly wait, He’ll show me to my mansion and say this is your home, I have a feeling in my heart the best is yet to come.”
Even now thinking about those words, I can imagine my great grandpa Blevins and my great grandma Blevins, my great uncles David and Yokeley, my Mommaw DeBord, my great aunt Ellen all walking through Heaven talking to each other and worshipping at the feet of Jesus.
Maybe it’s because July 24 is a special day to me since it’s my birthday, but I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic and think about my family who paved the way before me, I can’t help but think, wouldn’t it be something just to get a little glimpse of what “the best to come” looked like. I don’t think our human minds could comprehend it all, and that’s ok, because I don’t know about you but when it comes right down to it, I love surprises, so when it’s my turn to get to see “the best that is still yet to come” I want to walk through those pearly gates of Heaven with my eyes wide and my mouth dropped open in awe of the splendor and glory of our home in Glory!
Even thinking of that song just gives me a reminder that for today and everyday – the best is yet to come, God’s got something great inside of each one of us, something He wants us to do before He calls us home to be with Him. I want to challenge you today to know that The Best Is Yet To Come and you may not know what it is yet, but keep seeking God – He will open your heart and reveal to you everything, in His time!

I was reading my devotion here at work and the Scripture I read meant a lot to me this morning, so I am passing it on to you.
I know myself I get mis-understood as in verse 5 and people will twist your words. Satan will use that against you to
Bring you down. In this evil times we are now everyone is out for themselves, and anyway they can bring you down they
Will to make themselves look good. They are eager to see you do one thing wrong, and from there they "lurk" you try
To destroy your name and your walk with God. But keep trusting God and he will take care of you. God knows the
Intent of your heart and he is all that matters. So do the best you can, and the others will be taken care of that tries
To come against your for no reason.
HAVE A GREAT DAY !

Psalm 56 (New International Version)
Psalm 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
2 My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
7 On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
8 Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise-
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

Be Blessed
