Trail Mix - 8.28.19

August 28, 2019 – “What happens to a people who forget God? Psalms 9:17 says, "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." What an awful price to pay to go your own way and do your own thing without God. They used to say God was dead. They don't say that now, they just say He is irrelevant; that the Creator just does not matter. One day men will know how wrong they were. One day He’s coming and it will be too late to change, too late to make a choice, too late to say I’m sorry! An eternity filled with regret and grief because all hope is gone.” S. E. Trail

My prayer is for all of us to never forget that there is One who has created all things and controls all things and one day will come to settle all things.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. KJV

“The story is told of a policeman who stopped a car for failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. The man in the car pitched a fit and explained that he had slowed to practically a halt and reasoned that it was practically the same as stopping. Not good enough said the officer and he ticketed the fellow. That afternoon, the officer stopped the fellow a second time and the same scene unfolded. The man pleaded that his habit of slowing down was adequate and just the same as stopping completely. He got another ticket. You guessed it. It happened a third time that night and the fellow yelled at the officer and called him a choice name or two. Finally the officer lost his composure and took action unbecoming an officer of the law. He yanked the fellow half of the way out of the driver’s window and began hitting him with his night stick. The officer yelled, “Ok, do you want me to stop or slow down?” He got the point. Discerning how things really are is important to the believer. What they may seem to be may not be what they are.”- adapted from John Hagee, San Antonio, TX
