No Doubt About It - Now Think On This Steve Martin


No Doubt About It

Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“When we see that you're just as willing to endure the hard times as to enjoy the good times, we know you're going to make it, no doubt about it.” 2 Corinthians 1:7, THE MESSAGE)



Life comes with doubts, no doubt about it. We wonder if we are going to “make it”; if our kids will make it; if the world will be here tomorrow; if the nation will end up being what we had hoped and prayed it would be.

No doubt about it. This is life. And life is hard often.

Even ones who had walked right alongside Jesus, day in and day out for over three years, had doubts, after His horrible crucifixion and tomb burial.

“But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." (John 20:24-25, NASU)

Having doubts is common, and we should not beat ourselves over the head when we have them. Rather, as we are encouraged to do, we need to keep trusting anyway.

Trust that what Jesus (Yeshua) said was true.

“Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me. In my Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also. Furthermore, you know where I’m going; and you know the way there.” (John 14:1-4, CJB)

When you are anxious about your job – keeping trusting in Him.

When you doubt your marriage or whether you will even get married – keep trusting in Him.

When the rent or mortgage is due next week and your bank account has nothing – keep trusting in Him.

Many in life have nothing to fall back on. Those without hope cannot trust anything or anyone, for without Jesus there is no hope. Without the Solid Rock, which isn’t just a cliché, there is no solid rock.

But for those of us who do know Jesus, who know of His salvation, the miraculous times He came through for us, the hope within of life here and forevermore – we cannot doubt for long. We have the solid hope and assurance of today’s and tomorrow’s provision in spirit, soul and body.

Next time you have doubts – and there will be a next time, for the enemy continually bombards the Lord’s chosen ones – be reassured that your life is in His hands, He has not forsaken you, and what He has promised will come to pass.

Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) will always have a reason to believe – because our Lord and Savior has time and time again proven Himself Faithful on behalf of the nation of Israel, His worldwide Church, and all those who keep their eyes fixed on Him.

“…looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2, NKJV)

No doubt you will have doubts, but you will always have the eternal hope in Jesus. Keep strong in His Word.

Trump team invites Netanyahu to inauguration ceremony - ARUTZ SHEVA 7

Trump and Netanyahu

Trump team invites Netanyahu to inauguration ceremony

Trump transition team contacts Israeli PM, invites him to attend inauguration ceremony.

The New York Post reported US President-elect Donald Trump's advisers invited Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to the inauguration ceremony on January 20.

On Sunday, the Trump transition team, led by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, contacted Netanyahu regarding Netanyahu's participation in the ceremony.

"There’s a plan for Trump to meet with Netanyahu. They’re talking all the time. And Netanyahu is talking about possibly going to the inauguration," a source close to Trump said.

Immediately after the US elections, Netanyahu called Trump to congratulate him. Immediately following the elections, Trump invited Netanyahu to visit the US "at the earliest possible opportunity."

Trump has continuously emphasized that Israel is "very important" to him, and has also promised to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Israel Chief Rabbi: We Don't Need America, We Have God - Israel Today

Israel Chief Rabbi: We Don't Need America, We Have God

Sunday, January 01, 2017 |  Israel Today Staff
Israel’s Sephardic chief rabbi, Yitzhak Yosef, gave a divine response to the Obama Administration’s gross betrayal of the Jewish state last week.
Days after US President Barack Obama instructed his representative at the United Nations not to veto a dangerous anti-Israel resolution, Yosef expounded on the bright side of the situation.
“Sometimes, we need to be reminded from above that we can count on no one but our Father who art in heaven,” Yosef told a gathering at the Western Wall. “Even America… forsook us last week at the UN.”
According to the resolution, Jews do not belong in the so-called “West Bank” or on the eastern side of Jerusalem. And that includes the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site.
“We mustn’t forget that the hearts of kings and captains are in the hands of the Lord, and we can count on no one but (the Lord),” continued Yosef.

3 Celebrity Deaths This Week Have One Thing in Common - JESSILYN JUSTICE CHARISMA NEWS

3 Celebrity Deaths This Week Have One Thi ng in Common

JESSILYN JUSTICE  CHARISMA NEWS
Join us on the new C-Pop podcast where Taylor and Jessilyn discuss, debate and sometimes deride pop culture with a strong sense of humor and a focus on Christ. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

The deaths of George Michael, Richard Adams and Carrie Fisher all have one thing in common, evangelist Franklin Graham says.  
They died.  
He shared his thoughts on Facebook: 
This week pop icon George Michael passed away at age 53, Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher died at 60, and award winning Watership Down author Richard Adams died at the age of 96. From the unknown to the most well-known, we all have something in common—death. Our time on earth is brief—the Bible says like "a vapor." And each of us will stand before Almighty God to give an account. The decision that will determine where we spend eternity is whether we have believed in His Son, Jesus Christ, trusting Him as our Savior and following Him as Lord. There are no VIP passes or exceptions. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). I hope each of these people had made that all-important decision before they took their last breath on earth—Have you? If you haven't, call on Him today. Don't delay. 
Following his post, Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, died, but Graham's sentiment remains. 
3 Reasons Why you should read Life in the Spirit. 1) Get to know the Holy Spirit. 2) Learn to enter God's presence 3) Hear God's voice clearly! Go deeper!
