Leadership

When you are two, three, or more in a group, invariably one person goes forward in leadership. This person becomes the leader of the group. This also applies to an army battalion of soldiers and a government organizations.

If any of these organizations want to succeed in their goal, it is imperative that they obey the decisions and commands of their leadership. We find the same thing applies to Christian organizations.

In the Bible we find Christ is a leader for He leads us beside the still waters and in paths of righteousness (Psalm chapter 23). The author of Psalm 31, David, says. "I will put my trust in God for You are my Rock and my Fortress. Therefore, for Your name's sake, lead me and guide me".

If you want a leader to follow. go with David and put your faith and trust in God's leadership. He's the one to follow.

Clinging to Things in Our Life

A newborn baby will cling to it's mother through Godly instinct. A small child will cling to a favorite toy and hold on as long as possible. So, from an early age we cling on to things. As we go through childhood and into our adult years many decisions are made and we have more things to cling to.

At one time in our life a decision to follow or not follow Jesus Christ will occur. When that happens, our attitude will be to cling to Him, for it is through Him that we have eternal life. And to cling to Him is the best thing we could do in this life.

Pray in Faith Believing

When everything goes wrong and nothing goes right, what do you do to make things right? The first thing you need to do, is to re-trace your actions and start over from the beginning.

If that does not get you back on track, Go to God in prayer. Also you can search the scriptures and find out what the Bible has to say. One verse in the book of James would get you started and that is in chapter four. This says we need to ask for the right reason, so if we have faith He will give us that answer.

Security

In today's generation, there is a great need for security. There are companies that hire and train both men and women to be alert in all types of situations. These people are trained to be observant of the area that is theirs to protect. They are also taught to report any suspicious activity.

Security is needed in lending institutions and stores where general merchandise is sold. Also in mass transit centers, such as airports, bus terminals and train stations. Security can be found everywhere and anywhere it is needed.

There is another type of security, and that is the security needed to guarantee you will make it to heaven after you die. The Bible says, "It is appointed for everyone to die and after that you will be judged" (Hebrews 9:27). Are you ready to be judged? Is your salvation secure in Jesus Christ?
