God listens to you; do you listen? James 1:19,20

Well good morning fellow Christians and Americans!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.
   Well, did you look like your father in heaven yesterday?  Did you reflect HIS image?  Or did you remain in the trenches, trudging along, and forgetting to praise God?
    Yes, life is tough.  However, it is much easier with God.  With God you have someone to talk to at anytime - no busy signal or voice message. With God you have someone who listens without interrupting.  With God you have someone who loves you and cares.  As is said in East Texas, "It don't get no gooder than that!"
   Also, it is important for us to listen to God.  When things do not go well we should reflect back to James 1:19,20 "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.  Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." 
 Proverbs 10:19 "Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.." 
  Proverbs 15:1"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
 Ecclesiastes 7:9 "Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools."
      Everything said here is what happens when we speak out of anger and our ego has been bruised.  We should be angry at evil, at injustice, at sin, but not just because your were proven wrong, or lost an argument, or possibly feel offended or neglected.  Selfish anger never helps anyone.  We are coming into the 4th of July - Independence Day of America.  
   We need to rejoice we live in the land of the free, home of the brave, and are ONE NATION UNDER GOD!  Slowly we are becoming one nation with many gods and your prayers are needed. However, today, let us rejoice at our religious freedom, rejoice that our national motto is still: IN GOD WE TRUST!  Love you all. 
   In Christ's Love and Grace
