Praise the Lord for the food, water, air, and all the things we take for granted. He provides it all. He owns everything. He only lets us use it temporary.
We own nothing of ourselves.....except our sins. The only thing He took back with Him was the nail prints in his hand.
Believers should praise Him for His greatness. He can make a tree out of a small seed.....He can make a river, and He did......He makes the earth spin on nothing (Job 26:7)...He hangs the earth in space. The earth is not flat as was first thought, The Bible tells us it is round (Isaiah 40:22).....All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.....it goes back to where it started (Eccles. 1:7)
He is incomparable....there is none like him. God has gave men powerful knowledge, but only what He wants them to have. Praise Him for everything.
Praise Him for our salvation. What a change in our lives. He has kept me for 70 + years under his wings. Oh, yes I have had many storms in life but He gave me strength to overcome them. That future promise He gives is worth it all. This is what heaven means to me......all my loved ones, but first I want to see the one who died for me. That man is Jesus. Only through Him can we be saved (John 14:6) and "...to the uttermost...." fully and not halfway (Heb. 7:25)...He is the door...."....by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,....(John 10:9). Then we become His sheep and He is the good shepherd that giveth his life for the sheep. (John 10:11). Praise him above all things, be born again.

 

Faith opens the door
Faith is the assurance that God will do what He has promised, but we should not insist that He do everything we ask. He will supply our needs, and many times he will let us have our wants.
The Bible is evidence that God knows what He is doing, even when we don't. Let there be Light, and there was Light. How do we know? By faith we know this. Keep the dust off your Bibles. The only book you can call 'THE BOOK' and people know what book you mean.
Enoch pleased God....by faith he was translated that he would not see death. Noah's faith is shown by things not yet seen. No rain had happened before the flood. His faith paid off, but for the others when the water covered the mountain, it was to late. Don't put off salvation. Today is the day before it's to late.

The place to go.......Valley View Baptist. Let our Pastor bless you with the inspired WORD of God. Our singing will lift your spirit, and then may you be saved by the preaching of God's word by our hard working and spirited pastor Rev. Dewey Cooper. If you can't make it to our church, please go to a church near you. You might be glad you did. I pray that you will.
