Have you ever noticed that some people you know or see on television have some strange beliefs? They are strange to you, anyway. I often wonder where they have come up with some of those ideas and beliefs. They are certainly not the things I believe. My belief system corresponds with the Bible. I have heard that the school system is teaching things that are not Biblical at all. Since I don’t have any school-age children or grand children, I don’t have a firsthand knowledge of what is being taught in schools and colleges. I do see the fruit of the teaching, however. Prov. 22:6. The world has changed since I was in school. We actually had a Bible teacher come to our school once a week and teach Bible principles, Bible stories, and prayer. We prayed every morning at the beginning of the school day and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Then we sang America the Beautiful, My Country ‘Tis of Thee and The Star Spangled Banner. We learned Patriotism, honor, and loyalty to our country. We learned honesty, integrity, and morals. We learned our actual history and visited historical sites around Virginia. We learned to recite the Bill of Rights, the Preamble to the Constitution, and many other important historical documents. We became proud to be Americans. We became proud that God was an integral part of the lives of our nation’s founding fathers and our nation itself. What we see happening today is the removal of God, His Word, the Covenant we made with Him, and all mention of Biblical ideas and concepts from our Government controlled schools as well as our government itself. This will not work if we want to remain a Godly nation. God will be replaced with something else and as believers, we certainly don’t want a substitute for Almighty God. If you are a believer in Jehovah God and His Bible, you need to join your beliefs and your faith with fellow believers and pray for God to intervene in our trouble. We need to ask Him to expose and remove all evil from our land and our world. I believe He is already actively doing that very thing but we need to join our faith with each other to bring His perfect will to pass on this planet. We love Him and He loves us. He tells us in His Word to speak His Word in faith and we will see miracles, signs, and wonders. It’s time.

I wanted to quit my job, to quit my relationships, to quit my spirituality; I wanted to quit life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. “God”, I said, “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?” His answer surprised me. “Look around”, He said, “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?” “When I planted their seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.Its brilliant green covered the floor. Nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.” “In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. While still nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.” “In the third year and fourth year there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.” “Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it seemed small and insignificant. But just 6 months later the bamboo had risen to over 100 feet tall. It had spent those five years growing roots. The roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge they could not handle.” And then He said to me: “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will not quit on you! Don’t compare yourself to others. The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come,” God said to me. “You will rise high.” “How high should I rise?” I asked. “How high will the bamboo rise?”, He asked in return. “As high as it can?”, I questioned. “Yes”, He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can. Everyone has moments when they feel like giving up. When the struggles and obstacles in life seem insurmountable. Remember you’re justgrowing roots!! God has a purpose in mind for each one and you need to talk to Him and let Him help you realize that purpose. Always remember, He will never leave you or forsake you. u Author Unknown SalvationWise SalvationWise.org The Secret One day, one friend asked another, “How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down.” With her eyes smiling, she said, “I know the Secret!” “What secret is that?” “I’ll tell you all about it” she replied “if you will share the Secret with others.” “I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches and grace. I have learned that most of the time I don’t need half of what I think I I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that ‘Secret’, I have become happy.” The questioner’ was about to remark, “That’s too simple!” But upon reflecting over her own life, she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn’t. When was she the happiest? When enjoying the simple gifts from God: Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating grapes, or reading a Bible story. We can’t depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that, if we trust HIM! GOD in His wisdom can also take care of YOU! Author Unknown
