Resurrection Sunday serves as a reminder that the Lord can give life to a dead thing. Whatever it is, you can give it over to Him and see restoration take place. Through Him hope is restored. Through Him peace is restored. Through Him joy is restored. With Him, nothing is impossible.
God, I thank you for Jesus! Because You loved us so much, You sent Your only begotten Son to pay the price for our sins. He died to pay the price for your sins and mine. Although He died, He did not stay in the tomb. He rose and He still lives.
Let us be reminded not only today but every day of this wonderful gift we were given.
HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Matthew 28:5,6
Be blessed.

THE PUSH INTO YOUR PURPOSE
At times we have to be pushed to the place we ought to be. The push comes in many forms. It does not always feel good. In fact, it can be quite uncomfortable when we choose to remain is such a stable and comfortable place then are pushed out of that place. Although uncomfortable and sometimes painful, the push is necessary.
God is more concerned with our purpose than comfort. He will stir things up to push us into our purpose. God does not do these things to make us miserable, but He is doing it to push us into our purpose. I can personally say that I have recently experienced a chain of events that have prompted me to take the steps to not just flip the page to a new chapter in a book, so to speak, but to close the book. I can honestly say I do not know how much longer I would have chosen to remain in this stagnated, unhappy, comfortable place if those specific events had not happened.
We may not recognize the push for what it is or even appreciate it at the time, but one day we will be so grateful for it.
Be blessed.

THE SMALL THINGS
We serve such a mighty God! We hear about His awesome works though testimonies. The bible contains pages and pages of just how great He is. Because God is who He is, some assume such a mighty big God is not concerned with the things we consider small. How wrong is this assumption!
God is not only concerned about the major issues we face or go through but He is concerned about any and all things that concern us. He is the God with no limits and while He is handling a major issue for one, He is handling the "smaller" issue for another. Yes! At the same time! Remember, we serve a powerful and awesome God.
Involve Him in your daily life. Everything about us interest Him and He is intimately familiar with our ways:
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me. Psalm 139:1-5
Be Blessed.

HE IS RISEN
2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” Mark 16:2-7
Jesus hung on the cross for your sins and mine. He died for you and me. He paid the ultimate price so that we could have eternal life. This is the most precious gift. The greatest gift. Although Jesus died and was buried, He rose. He is alive. True and living, Jesus is.
Let us take the opportunity to remember all Jesus endured for us. We cannot forget just how good He is and the love He has for us. Jesus lives. Jesus is not dead. He is risen!
