"What Faith and duct Tape Have in Common" (part 1 of 2)

6/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Duct tape is probably one of the most useful inventions. It serves a variety of purposes, from patching up a pair of ripped pants to keeping some boxes sealed. What makes duct tape even more fun are all the colors it comes in.  I was in a store the other day and saw Hello Kitty Duct Tape, cheetah print duct tape, neon colored duct tape, and of course the standard grey duct tape. 
 
All this duct tape got me thinking, about how faith and duct tape have a lot in common. Faith holds our lives together like duct tape can hold together a pair of torn pants. Faith is the basis of our relationship with God. It is believing what the Bible says no matter what it looks like around you.  Faith keeps you together when you feel you’re falling apart. Our faith keeps us going and assures us we will make it regardless of what is going on around us.
 
Hebrews 11:6 says…”And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
 
Next week will be part 2 of “What Faith and Duct Tape have in Common.”

"honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself." - Matthew 19:19

Have you noticed how easy it is to love your friends? It’s a lot easier to love people that you really respect. How about your parents? That’s harder. Sometimes even harder yet, is loving others as much as yourself.
 
It’s easy to love ourselves. We always understand that we mean well. It seems that we can always give ourselves the benefit of the doubt, but do we give others the same treatment?
 
Do we give others the benefit of the doubt? Can we let other people have a bad day? Or do we judge them based on what we see externally?
 
If we’re really going to love others, it’s going to take some work. It’s going to take us looking internally and making adjustments to see the good in others around us. Yet, that’s what God does for us. He sees our potential.
 
God loves us unconditionally. And that love should empower us to love those around us. Not because they treat us right or do the things we feel are right, but because of how much God loves us.

Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases - Psalm 103:3 (NIV)

How great is it to know that God has forgiven all our sins?  And not just a couple sins, but all of them are forgiven.  You've been complete forgiven.  There is not a single sin that is too big or too small that God hasn't forgiven.  And now because you're free from sin, you have access to God the father.  That's a freeing thought!

God didn't just forgive sins, He went the extra mile.  The end of the verse also says that He heals all your diseases.  It's great to know that God not only forgives you but He heals you too!

Don't become too busy today to take some time out to thank God for all He's done in your life.  Be thankful that your sins have been forgiven.  You have been given access to God!

James 1:2 (NIV) "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds."

This week, I want to challenge you to focus on your attitude and character. We’ve probably all heard lots of motivational quotes about attitude. Your coaches probably have told you time and time again that attitude makes a difference. Maybe you’ve even had teachers encouraging you to have a good attitude.
 
The thing about attitude is that it’s so easy to have a good one when everything is going well. If you’ve just done well on a test at school, it’s easy to feel good and have a good attitude.
 
However, how is your attitude when things aren’t going well? When you didn’t get asked to a friend’s birthday party when everyone else did. How is your attitude then?
The storms of life reveal your true attitude.
 
So today and this week, take a good look at yourself. How do you respond when things aren’t going well in your life? Do you need to make any adjustments to your attitude?
If so, ask God to help you. He will give you wisdom and help you get the right perspective on what you’re going through. With God’s help, you’ll find that you can have a good attitude even in the middle of a storm.
