Lets talk about Beans…..

Have you ever felt like Jack in Jack and the Bean Stalk? Sometimes Life gets a little overwhelming and we want to give up, but let us look at this story. Beans for a cow, wow.. If you came home and told your spouse that you had just traded your paycheck for some magical beans what do you think the response would be? Yes somewhat close to Jack's mothers I’m sure or worse.

Everyone is looking for those magical beans in their life, and we as Christians forget where and who we belong too. People, there are so many people in this world looking for the answers to their problems and we have the answer, are we sharing it? Don’t take me wrong, God is not a magic bean, but He is the answer to Life’s questions and problems. In Matthew 11: 28-30 the Lord tells us “ come unto Him All that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest, take my yolk upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, for yolk is easy and my burden is light “ If we allow Jesus to take our problem and burdens and hold to his hand he’ll carry us and lead us in the ways we should go and it just makes life’s burdens and our path much easier to bare.

Sometimes Life gets in our way and we cannot see what is ours to begin with as Christians. We have to remember that we are the children of the highest King Jesus, just like Jack, those items he took from the giant were his to begin with, and the Giant had taken them from him. We have to fight the giants in our life sometimes to take back what God intends for us to have as His children.

God has given us the keys to open the door to all of his blessings he has in store for us, we just have to use them. There are times that we have to trust God and walk through the door of the unknown before we see the treasures that lay waiting for us on the other side. Jack didn’t know who his father was nor did he know that the treasures at the top of the bean stalk was his already, but Jack knew that fear made him weak and he had to be strong. We have to preserver as Jack did in this little children’s story, we have to be willing to fight for what is ours as Children of the Most High King.

Even when the battle is hard and long, just know that the top cannot be to far off. As Joshua said in 1:9 “Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with you whithersoever thou goest..

Just remember that you are blessed and you need to share the gift of Salvation with those in need. Don’t be afraid to share Jesus, people need to know that God is still in control of this nation, One nation under God that is who we are and what we stand for in America.

Love you all and I hope that is little note will give you a ray of hope and brighten up your day or month

Blessings are yours….. 
