An Upside-Down Disc Golf World Tour

“God is not ashamed to be called their God.”
— Hebrews 11:16

We live in an upside-down world. People hate when they should love, quarrel when they should be friendly, fight when they should be peaceful, wound when they should heal, steal when they should share, do wrong when they should do right.

I once saw a toy clown with a weight in its head. No matter how it was placed, it invariably assumed an upside-down position. It could be placed on its feet or on its side and when let go it flipped back on its head.

The clown illustrates why the disciples seemed to be misfits to the world. To an upside-down man, a right-side-up man seems upside down. To the nonbeliever, the true Christian is an oddity and an abnormality.

Yet this isn’t the whole picture, for all around us are people who sense something is wrong with their topsy-turvy lives, and they yearn to be right side up. Will you pray for them and ask God to help you point them to life’s only solid foundation—Jesus Christ?

We can never make a person right-side up any more than we can right ourselves. Only God can cause a person to see that he or she is, indeed, upside down, but we can point him or her in the right direction.

I just felt like someone needs to hear this today:

Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The problem with giving in to discouragement is that it only makes things worse, for with it may come bitterness, anger, jealousy, revenge, and so forth. We may even try to escape through drugs or alcohol. But do any of these solve the problem? No!

God has a better way—the way of trust. Sometimes He may show us that we were in the wrong. When that is the case, we need to confess it, repent, and seek His forgiveness. Sometimes, however, we can only accept what is happening and ask God to help us endure it and triumph over it.

One of the best ways to overcome adversity, I’ve found, is to praise God right in the middle of the turmoil. Turning to God’s Word will also encourage us; many of the psalms, for example, were written in the midst of suffering and adversity. Follow the psalmist’s example: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:2).

Triumph Through Trust
By Billy Graham • October 14


“Neither death nor life, … nor things present nor things to come, … shall be able to separate us from the love of God.”
—Romans 8:38–39, NKJV

There are two ways to respond to adversity: discouragement or trust.

The problem with giving in to discouragement is that it only makes things worse, for with it may come bitterness, anger, jealousy, revenge, and so forth. We may even try to escape through drugs or alcohol. But do any of these solve the problem? No!

God has a better way—the way of trust. Sometimes He may show us that we were in the wrong. When that is the case, we need to confess it, repent, and seek His forgiveness. Sometimes, however, we can only accept what is happening and ask God to help us endure it and triumph over it.

One of the best ways to overcome adversity, I’ve found, is to praise God right in the middle of the turmoil. Turning to God’s Word will also encourage us; many of the psalms, for example, were written in the midst of suffering and adversity. Follow the psalmist’s example: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:2).

It’s easy to praise after the fact when we receive the healing, the restored relationship, and the financial windfall. It is a true and mature faith that praises God in the midst of the trial and trusts Him even before the outcome is revealed.

Look to God

“Lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
—Luke 21:28

If you’ve ever flown in an airplane, you know that your perspective of the earth is far different from what it was when you were on the ground. Pictures of the earth that have been taken from the moon and from space show an earth that looks much different from what we see down here.

This is the kind of perspective God wants to give us concerning our lives. As we look to God, instead of to ourselves and our circumstances, our perspectives change.

Don’t get bogged down in the circumstances of life. At the moment we see only our immediate problems and burdens, but God sees the whole. He sees not only the present but the future as well. He wants to lift us above ourselves. He wants us to see everything in light of His plans. The psalmist said, “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me” (Psalm 138:8).

Don’t get bogged down. Keep your eyes on God, for He sees the whole picture, and He knows what is best for you. You can trust Him, because He loves you.


Hope for Today

It’s easy to become preoccupied with trying to understand why certain situations happen or how they can be used for something good. Choose, instead, to focus on Who is working behind the scenes; it is the only detail that matters.

A Clean Slate

“Create in me a clean heart,
O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
—Psalm 51:10, NKJV

Did you ever have the experience in school of erasing an entire whiteboard? When the slate has been wiped clean, it is as if nothing at all had ever been written on it.

This is what God does for us when we come to Him, confessing our sin and trusting Christ as our Savior and Lord. First John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Note what He promises to do: forgive and cleanse. The slate is wiped clean! Only God can do that. We can’t do it ourselves.

How many times in your life have you wished you could start all over again with a clean slate, with a new life? Resolve right now to allow God to wipe your slate clean by confessing your sins and letting Him give you a brand-new start.

Hope for Today

It’s popular to repurpose things. While you may give an old dresser new life as a desk, many will still see a dresser. When God forgives you, there is no trace of who you used to be; you’re brand new!

Trust and Obey

“Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust.”
—Psalm 40:4

Some years ago someone gave my little boy a dollar. He brought it to me and said, “Daddy, keep this for me.” But in a few minutes he came back and said, “Daddy, I’d better keep my own dollar.” He tucked it in his pocket and went out to play. In a few minutes he came back with tears in his eyes, saying, “Daddy, I lost my dollar. Help me find it.”

How often we commit our burdens to the Lord and then fail to trust Him by taking matters into our own hands. Then, when we have messed things up, we pray, “Oh, Lord, help me, I’m in trouble.”

The choice is yours. Do you want to trust your life in God’s “pocket” or keep it in your own? The Bible’s promise is true: “Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust.”

Hope for Today

We can trust our heavenly Father with every aspect of our lives. He is able to bear every burden and protect what is precious. We will never regret entrusting our lives to His care.

I leave you with this question, "Why is it so hard for us to truly Trust in God?"

Making Good Decisions

“Then the king answered them roughly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders.”
—2 Chronicles 10:13, NKJV

Tragically, many people are the victims of their own bad decisions. Faced with choices every day, they turn their backs on what is right or what is best and decide instead on what is wrong or what will bring them harm. Only afterward do they realize that bad decisions always result in bad consequences.

King Rehoboam stubbornly rejected the wise advice of his nation’s elders and instead followed those who told him only what he wanted to hear. As a result, conflict broke out and the nation divided. The Bible warns, “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

Life is filled with decisions—some minor, but some life changing. How will you make them? The most important thing I can tell you is this: Seek God’s will in every decision. Pray. Turn to the Scriptures. Seek the advice of godly friends. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. God loves you, and His way is always best.

Hope for Today:

No decision is too big or too small to turn over to God. He will guide your every step (Proverbs 16:9) if you let Him. Study His Word and pray so that you’re not led astray.

Sufficient Grace

“My grace is sufficient for you.”
—2 Corinthians 12:9

The prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane is perhaps the greatest, most moving prayer ever uttered. In it our Lord asked that the cup of crucifixion, which was about to be thrust upon Him, might be taken away. But then, in the very next breath He said, “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39). What a prayer! What strength! What power!

When the apostle Paul asked God to remove his “thorn in the flesh,” God did not remove it, saying instead, “My grace is sufficient for you.” Rather than complain or become angry at God, Paul joyfully submitted to God’s will. He discovered that God’s grace truly was sufficient, even in the midst of pain.

Christ desires to be with you in whatever crisis you may find yourself. Call upon His name. See if He will not do as He promised He would. He may not make your problems go away, but He will give you the power to deal with them and to overcome them by His grace.


Hope for Today

If we only pray for the removal of problems, we will often be disappointed. If we pray for God’s presence in the midst of our problems, we will always receive what we have asked.

Rest for the Weary

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

We forget that Jesus was human as well as divine. He had calluses on His hands. If the chisel slipped and cut His finger, His blood was red and warm like ours. He knew what it meant to work long hours, to come in at night tired and weary.

That is one of the reasons Jesus could say with such appeal, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). When we are exhausted and hurting, we can take comfort from the fact that Jesus knows what it is to be exhausted and hurting also.

But the greatest work Jesus did was not in the carpenter’s shop, nor at the marriage feast in Cana where He turned the water into wine. The greatest work Jesus did was not when He made the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, nor even the dead to rise.

What was His greatest work? His greatest work was what He accomplished through the Cross and resurrection. There the burden of our sins was placed on Him, and there He won our salvation. And that is why we can come by faith to Him, and He will give us rest.

One Way!!!!

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
—John 14:6

An old saying declares, “All roads lead to Rome.” Perhaps it was true in the ancient world—but today, you can get lost anywhere! The road you are on may lead in exactly the opposite direction from your goal. The only sure way to reach your destination is to consult a GPS or ask someone who knows the way.

Not all roads lead to God, as some suggest. The reason? There is a roadblock that keeps man from reaching God—the roadblock of sin. But God has provided a map—the Bible—and He has provided us with One who knows the way and can give us directions—Jesus Christ.

Jesus did not say, “I am one of many roads to God.” What He said was, “I AM THE WAY.” That wasn’t arrogance, or narrow-mindedness, or lack of compassion. It was truth—because only Christ came from Heaven to pay the price for our sins. Follow Christ and never be lost!

07/05/2024

We as a society are so focused on the "What Jesus can do for you"......When we should be fixed on "What Jesus has already done for us" as my pastor likes to say, that'll preach in itself. When you realize that what Jesus can do for you is the cause of what he has already done for you then you can truly lean not on your own understand but TRUST IN HIM!!!!!!!

JESUS + nothing = EVERYTHING
