God is the center of the Christians life; unfortunately we often turn aside or even turn away. Instead of walking toward the light, we walk away from God and walk in the darkness. When we walk in darkness, there is no way we can focus on the light.

Jeremiah bought a field at God's instruction. He bought that field knowing he would never use it. He made an eternal investment. God made an investment in mankind when God so loved he gave. What kind of eternal investments are you making?

Most of us can say without any doubt that the Hand of God has been with us. God has directed us, blessed us, and covered us. But we also need to remember that God's hand of rebuke and correction is poised to correct us. Let's fall on the stone, lest the stone fall on us.

Paul gives some great words of encouragement. He does not want our faith to be in vain, neither does he want our labors to be in vain. As believers, God desires for us to be the people God intendeds us to be. In order to do that, we must labor or put forth an effort to fulfill that calling. If we do that, he assures us that our labor will not be in vain.

Moses and David both ask the question, "Who am I?" Who were they? Or better than that, who am I? What is my purpose here? Who am I trying to please? Let's look at that question, “Who am I?”

There is a major event planned for the entire world. We don't know the exact date but we know it is a pre planned event that will happen. It is a little bit like our childhood game of hide-and-seek. Here I come, ready or not!

We've all been through seasons where it seemed like everyone had abandoned us.
