In a World of Wonders

When I consider the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, Oh Lord, our Lord, in all the earth, How majestic is Your name!

The expanse of the heavens tells of Your glory; By Your word, all their hosts were made. You gather the waters of the sea together, You still the roaring, the roaring of their waves. You have made summer and winter, Your have prepared the light and the sun; You established the mountains by Your strength, For You spoke, and it was done.

You set the earth on its foundations; You enrich and abundantly water its furrows, The beasts of the field quench their thirst there; The birds of the sky nest by the waters.

How many and great are Your works, oh Lord! In Your infinite wisdom, You made them all; Heaven and earth are in awe of You, And all its creatures, both great and small!

(Psalm 104:19)

“He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.”

Matthew 16:25-26:

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

This scripture pretty much sums up the importance of being saved. For those people that go through life and do what they want, just know that there are consequences. If you deny Jesus because you want to keep your friends or family, then when you pass, He will deny you before the Father, as Matthew 10:33 says: "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before

How is your Soul? Are you feeding your Soul? It's important to feed your Soul daily!

My Father who is in heaven." That is a very costly mistake to make. But if you lose your life in the name of Jesus by confessing His name wherever you go, He will reward you in heaven and confess you before the Father as it says in Matthew 10:32: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven."

To gain everything in the world makes no sense and lose your own soul...that is just crazy. If you only knew how terrible hell really is, you would give your life to Jesus right now. So many believe that hell will be fun, drinking, women, men, parties, lots of fun; that is so wrong. It is the furthest from the truth. Jesus talked about hell more than He talked about heaven, for a very good reason.

Jesus would rather you pluck your own eye out rather than go to hell and cut your right hand off if it causes you to sin; this is to prevent you from going to hell. Matthew 5:29-30 says, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." Now of course Jesus wasn't really telling people to cut off their right hand or pluck out their eye. In Jesus' day, at the southwest border of Jerusalem, there was a place called Gehenna; it is referred to as the rubbish heap. It is where they would pile up the bodies of criminals, indigents and others who had no family or friends to take care of them. They were taken and burned after they passed away. This pile of rubbish or body and body parts was continually aflame and eventually would become a symbol of hell. That is how serious Jesus is about you staying away from sin and keeping yourself from going to hell. It's not a fun place; it is a place of pain, fear, total darkness. It is so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face.

As we all know life can be so unpredictable, there are joys and sorrows, beautiful blessings and distressing difficulties, they can all come upon us unexpectedly. All of our life's dreams and plans can be changed in a heartbeat. We all know this to be true. So how can we find peace in our hearts and minds? Only through
