Good morning! How are we faithing? Living the life of a believer of Jesus can present some interesting problems. I listen, real good thing to be able to do, to people describe events that transpire in their lives. Sometimes one sees the root problem and sometimes one is thrown because the event seems unbelievable to them. I have found though that God still amazes but never surprises me. It just doesn't surprise me when miracles happen. It doesn't surprise me when the outcome turns out to be for the best even though at that particular moment that outcome seems crazy or perhaps even cruel. I have learned that all things do indeed work for good for those who love God. So the question presents itself, how do I keep focus when all around seems to be falling apart? Remembering past victories encourages us to press on seeking God's face in all we do and even if current circumstances look perilous and downright impossible, then we can rest in those storms knowing we will come out the other side leaner and wiser. We are the salt and the light of the earth and sometimes that means doing the right thing because it's right in spite of ourselves. You never know who is watching and who needs your salt and light. Being a disciple of Jesus does stop at believing nor is it suppose to remain only at church. That salt and light is something we must carry over to all we do. We never know how far our light shines or how much our salt preserves. Living the principles we learn from the Word is the only way we can truly survive. Any other way is the worlds way and we see and have seen what that gets us. Us following after Jesus and acting Godly while leaving the fall out to God is what discipleship is. How can anyone argue with doing what is right because it's right? Just think about this as you go about your days...
Php 2:14-16
Do all things without murmurings and questionings: that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.
Mat 5:13-16
"You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people. "You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. People don't light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven."

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your light that leads the way for us. Thank you for always being with us all. Lord we lift those mentioned up to you. Heal and protect them. Help our unbelief when we are in the middle of turmoil in this world. Forgive us as we stumble, we want to be salt and light for the world. Thank you, in Jesus name we pray, amen
