Are You Reading the Warning Signs?
“They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service...These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:2)

Ponder This
Andrew Murray said, “God is willing to assume full responsibility for the life totally yielded to Him.” In this world we are going to encounter tribulation. Are you aware it’s growing more, not less, intense? Where is Jesus? Jesus has overcome the world. That’s what He’s telling you and me.
The spiritual barometer is falling, and all of us who can read the signs of the times know a storm is gathering. The Bible tells us that. But soon our Lord, who has been on the mountain of His glory praying for us, is going to rise from His throne. And then, walking on the water will be child’s play. He’ll come stepping on the clouds! He will come in His glory. And those of us who are here on the sea of time will be on the shores of eternity in an instant when He comes. Won’t that be a day?

The storm ceased when they received Him into the boat. Have you received Him? Have you trusted Him?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
