A customer wearing a shirt with a picture of a lion on the front came in and I asked him, “Is that the Lion of Judah?” “It’s just another shirt” was his reply. I said, “That is not just another shirt and that is certainly not just another lion.” Jesus is the Lion of Judah a living powerful Lion. He’s a Lion to conquer Satan. (Revelation 20:10) The Lion of Judah is certainly not just another lion and not just the king of the jungle but the one who created it.

A customer shared a story about the first time he showed his 9-year-old granddaughter an atlas. “Grandpa do you know where Jesus lives?” she asked. The little girl continued, “Kansas because it is the heart of America.” Jesus is alive in Kansas and anywhere else a “seed has fallen on good soil.” (Mathew 13:8) The Apostle Paul tells us, “Christ dwells in our hearts through faith.” (Ephesians 3:17) Have faith and take heart because whether you are in Kansas or Kenya Christ is knocking on the door (Revelations 3:20) you only need to invite him in.

I spent a little extra time thanking the Lord after reading this prayer in a devotional, God of my help, I thank You for all the times I’ve fallen and been broken—times when You’ve put me back together. I fell harder than Humpty Dumpty. All the kings’ horses and all the kings’ men may have not been able to put Humpty Dumpty back together, but I know who could. I know addicts, alcoholics, and inmates once broken, made whole again because, “He is the potter, we are the clay.” (Isaiah 64:8) If you fall don’t call all the kings’ horses or all the kings’ men because the King of Kings …..

In the Valley

Sometimes the thought of beginning a New Year can be overwhelming and lead us into a valley. Pastor Tony Evans says, “Sometimes God must lead you downhill to take you uphill. He must take you to the bottom in order to get you to the top. The problem comes when we are at the bottom, because we tend to assume that it’s the end of the trip. But when the Lord is with you, something is going to happen.” If you are in a valley, “fear no evil for the Lord is with you, His rod and staff will comfort you.” (Psalm 23) The God of comfort will lead you …..

Good News?

Hopefully the “Good News” has not become old news to you. Sometimes I think we forget the magnitude of the events that occurred over 2,000 years ago. The Apostle Paul tells us, “Jesus emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” (Philippians 2: 7-8) The creator traded His Heavenly throne for a manger and brought Heaven to earth to give us eternal life. That’s is not just Good News but the Best News Ever.
