Why Does Gratitude Help?

Because you can't be grateful and angry at the same time.
You can't be grateful and miserable at the same time.
TRY IT!

YOUR HAPPINESS hangs on the questions you ask yourself, like:

* "What do I love about my husband, friends, and job?"

* "What am I learning from this crisis?"

* "What is one good thing that happened today?"

Friend, When Jesus left heaven and came to this broken earth, He declared, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10b).

Given what Jesus said, if you were offered the gift of abundant life today, would you accept it? -- "It Sounds great to me!"

Would it be a life of wealth, fame, or power? A life of leisure and comfort with no responsibilities? -- "Sign me up now!"

But wait. Is this really what it means to have abundant life?

Friend, I invite you to look up the word "abundant" in your dictionary. You will find synonyms similar to the following: "ample," "generous," "bountiful," and "overflowing."

What you will not see are the words "wealthy," "famous," "powerful," "leisurely," or "comfortable." -- So, abundant life must be more than the "good life" everyone is looking for today.

Friend, Jesus came to give you life abundantly. Just listen to His words recorded in (John 10:10b), where He says, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." -- Jesus' idea of abundant life, is the life God has provided for you. It is not a life free of problems, but the life God wants you to enjoy.

Friend, no matter what circumstances you may find yourself in, God is there for you, offering you the gift of abundant life: spiritual comfort, happiness, joy, and peace. However, you can only receive this abundant life through a close relationship with God, which is found in a close relationship with Jesus.

Friend, the mission of A BETTER LIFE MINISTRIES is dedicated to showing you how you can have the abundant life that God is offering you. We encourage you to read our articles and accept the gift of the "abundant life" God has provided you through obedience to His Son, Jesus Christ.

Friend, we invite you to Check out our today.

Friends, the mission of Discovering A BETTER LIFE MINISTRIES, is to provide men and women with words of Encouragement and Hope, as well as empower believers in Jesus Christ, around the world, to recognize, experience, and celebrate their oneness with all others who know Jesus as Saviour and Lord, re...

STRUGGLE and CHAOS!

Today's inspiration comes from:
God is With You Every Day
by Max Lucado

STRUGGLE!

He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” — Matthew 26:39

Friends, we all struggle. But did you ever think that perhaps God may be using your struggles to change you? To shape you? Even to heal you? For two years I have been asking God to remove the pain in my writing hand. Even as I write these words, I feel stiffness in my thumb, fingers, forearm, and shoulder. The doctors chalk it up to thirty-plus books written in longhand. Over the decades the repeated motion has restricted my movement, rendering the simplest of tasks — writing a sentence on a sheet of paper — difficult.

So I do my part. I stretch my fingers. A therapist massages the muscles. I avoid the golf course. I even go to yoga! But most of all I pray. Better said, I argue.

Shouldn’t God heal my hand? My pen is my tool. Writing is my assignment. So far He hasn’t healed me.

Or has He? These days I pray more as I write. Not eloquent prayers but honest ones. Lord, I need help… Father, my hand is stiff. The discomfort humbles me. I’m not Max, the author. I am Max, the guy whose hand is wearing out. I want God to heal my hand. Thus far He has used my hand to heal my heart.

So that thing you’re struggling with, that you’ve prayed about repeatedly… could it be that God is using it to heal your heart?

~Before Amen

*

Could you put your problem in the hands of the One who can solve it?

CHAOS!

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. — 1 Peter 5:7 NIV

Imagine this scene. It is breakfast time, and the family is in chaos. The daughters are complaining about their brother who took too much time in the bathroom. As a result, their hair isn’t brushed and makeup isn’t applied. Mom is doing her best to manage the conflict, but she woke up with a headache and a long list of things to do. The clock is ticking like a time bomb, ever closer to that moment when boom! It’s time to go. Dad stops at the kitchen entryway and surveys the pandemonium. He weighs his options:

• Command everyone to shape up and behave.
• Berate his son for dominating the bathroom, his daughters for poor planning, and his wife for not taking control.
• Sneak out before anyone notices.

Or he could turn to God with a simple prayer: Father, You are good. I need help. Reduce the frenzy in my house, please. Will the prayer change everything? It may. Or it may take another prayer, or two, or ten. But at least the problem will be in the hands of the One who can solve it.

~ Before Amen

WHAT IS the BIBLE ABOUT?

Today's inspiration comes from:

A Visual Theology Guide to the Bible
by Tim Challies & Josh Byers

Friends, the Bible is not primarily about us. Above all, the Bible is a book about God. God gave us the Bible so we can observe His character, discover His works, hold on to His promises, and embrace His plan of salvation.

This is good news for you. Though the Bible has much to say about who you are, it is primarily about who God is and what He has done to save you despite who you are. This is why the Scriptures provide great hope. For it’s only when you understand who God is and what He has done that you can begin to understand yourself rightly.

When you understand that the Bible is a book about God, then all of Scripture becomes a gold mine for discovering the character and works of God. There are plenty of places in Scripture that don’t seem to have immediate implications for us. And yet, because the Bible is a book about God, these sections can become just as useful as the sections for which practical application is obvious.

THE BIBLE IS ABOUT GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION IN JESUS

The Pharisees, who were the teachers of the Bible during the time of Jesus, knew that the Bible was about God. They studied the Scriptures diligently, memorized the law, and reordered their lives in obedience to it, hoping to reflect the character of their God.

• And yet the Pharisees had a major problem. While they searched the Scriptures for God, they missed Him. Jesus told them,

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me to have life. — John 5:39–40

The Pharisees missed the main point of the Bible because they missed Jesus. It wasn’t just the Pharisees who over- looked Jesus in the Scriptures. Even Jesus’ disciples couldn’t see their own Lord within the pages of the Old Testament. After his resurrection, Jesus walked with them along the road to Emmaus and helped them see the true nature of the Scriptures: “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself” (Luke 24:27).

JESUS COVER TO COVER

We, too, miss the main point of the Bible if we fail to see and discover Jesus in all the Scriptures. Yes, the Bible is a book about God. But even more specifically, the Bible is a story about God’s plan of salvation for us in Jesus Christ. As we read God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation, we discover the Son of God, who came to save us from our sins.

Just as Jesus did with His disciples, we will begin our exploration of God’s story with the books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

THE OLD TESTAMENT


The first few chapters of the Bible recount God’s creation of the heavens and earth, plants and trees, living creatures, and man and woman. It doesn’t take long for humanity to sin and fall away from their relationship with God, and the world- sweeping flood shows just how sinful humanity had grown. In this, we see the need for Jesus, the coming offspring who will crush the head of the serpent and do what the flood was unable to do: bring about a new humanity.


Then God calls Abram, who would eventually be renamed “Abraham,” with a promise of land and offspring:

Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. — Genesis 12:1–2

The rest of Genesis tells of Abraham’s family multiplying and making their way to Egypt, where we find in the book of Exodus that they have been enslaved. Echoing His call to Abraham, God calls Moses to bring His people out of Egypt into the promised land. In the midst of the wilderness on the way to the promised land, God gives His people the law, which they were commanded to obey. Through the call of Abraham, the call of Moses, and the giving of the law, we see the foundation for Jesus, who will fulfill God’s promises given to His people and fulfill the law for His people.


After the death of Moses, Joshua leads God’s people into the promised land. While at first the people seem to have changed their ways in the new land, they eventually turn to wickedness and disorder. They demand to have a king like the other nations, and after King Saul abandons his obligations to God, David and his descendants are promised the crown forever. In this, we see the preparation for Jesus, the descendant of David, who will reign forever over God’s people in the new Jerusalem.


Israel continues into turmoil, even while holding on to the promise of the Messiah and the restoration of peace. The songs of Israel recorded in the Psalms and the books of Wisdom capture the longing for Jesus. With powerful imagery and metaphor, the people rejoice in God’s promises and groan in waiting for a coming Savior who will fulfill them.


Out of the chaos and exile of the people, God raises up prophets who expand on and illuminate the promises of a coming Messiah. Isaiah describes Him as a Suffering Servant, and Jeremiah and Ezekiel describe Him as One who will usher in a new covenant and write God’s law on the hearts of God’s people. Through the prophets, we see the expectation of Jesus, who will bear the sins of His people in their place.

The Bible is a story about God’s plan of salvation in Jesus.

THE NEW TESTAMENT

The New Testament begins with a declaration of the fulfillment of God’s promises in the Old Testament:

This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham. — Matthew 1:1

That is, Jesus is the fulfillment of the offspring of Abraham and the reign of David. Throughout the gospel accounts, Jesus shows Himself to be the Son of David, who is the King of Israel; the Suffering Servant, who bears the sins of many; and the Son of God, who defeats death and is seated at the right hand of the Father. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we see the coming of Jesus.


Before Jesus ascends to the Father, He gives His disciples a mission:

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. — Acts 1:8

The book of Acts records the disciples’ obedience to this mission with the power of the Holy Spirit. Though Jesus has ascended to the Father, His work continued through His people as they spread the good news about Him. In Acts, the continuation of Jesus is displayed through His apostles and church as they proclaim and display His gospel.1


As churches are established in every city, the apostles send letters to guide the body of Christ that has spread throughout the world. From Romans to Jude, the commands of Jesus are laid out, as Jesus shows His people how they are to live and worship in response to His gospel.


The canon closes with the book of Revelation, which gives a stunning picture of the consummation in Jesus. God shows us how all of His promises will be fulfilled and how we will enjoy Him and glorify Him with our praises forever.
THE BIBLE IS FOR YOU

The Bible is a story about God’s plan of salvation in Jesus.

It testifies to the need for Jesus, the foundation for Jesus, the preparation for Jesus, the longing for Jesus, the expectation of Jesus, the coming of Jesus, the continuation of Jesus, the commands of Jesus, and the consummation of Jesus. Jesus is the point, from beginning to end.

At the same time, while the Bible is a story about Jesus, the Bible is for you. God gave you this book so you could read it, study it, and, by knowing Him through it, enjoy and glorify Him forever. The story of the Bible is laid out for you, but you must pick it up and read.

1. The idea of the books of Acts as a continuation of Jesus was inspired by J. D. Greear’s Jesus Continued...: Why the Spirit Inside You Is Better Than Jesus Beside You (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2014).

TOP Q&A about HEAVEN
Today's inspiration comes from:

The Complete Bible Answer Book
by Hank Hanegraaff

Hank Hanegraaff is known as the "Bible Answer Man" for millions of Americans as they listen to his daily talk radio show and podcast. Hank says that in all his years of taking listeners’ questions, the most recurring ones are about heaven and the afterlife. In the new commemorative edition of The Complete Bible Answer Book, Hanegraaff answers many of these common questions, and hundreds more. Here’s a glimpse at two of the most commonly asked questions on the topic of Heaven.

*

Question: What does it mean to say that Jesus “ascended into heaven”?

Answer: Over the years, I have heard more than one sceptic ridicule the notion that Jesus ascended into heaven before the very eyes of His disciples. In their view, even if Jesus were travelling at the speed of light, He would not yet have escaped the confines of our universe. Not only that, but He must surely be struggling with oxygen deprivation by now.

In response, let me first point out that to say Jesus ascended into heaven does not imply that He is travelling through space, but rather that as the God-man, He transcended time and space. Put another way, heaven is not located in time and space; it exists in another dimension.

Furthermore, the physical universe does not exhaust reality. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that an effect such as the universe must have a cause greater than itself. This conclusion is self-evident not only to those who are philosophically sophisticated but to thinking people everywhere. Thus, the notion that the Creator of the universe transcended His universe should pose no problem.

Finally, I should note that God often uses physical examples to point to spiritual realities. Thus, the physical fact of Christ’s ascension points to the greater truth that He is now glorified in the presence of God and that our glorification is divinely guaranteed as well.

Now when [Jesus] had spoken these things, while [His followers] watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:9–11 NKJV


For further study, see Hank Hanegraaff, AfterLife: What You Need to Know About Heaven, the Hereafter, and Near-Death Experiences (Brentwood, TN: Worthy, 2013).

Question: When do we receive our resurrected bodies?

This is a question I encountered frequently after the death of my father. Family members and friends wanted to know whether my dad had become a disembodied soul or whether he received his resurrection body the moment he died.

First, Scripture clearly refers to the moment of death as disembodiment, not re-embodiment. In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul made it crystal clear that to be “at home in the body” is to be “away from the Lord” and to be “away from the body” is to be “at home with the Lord” (5:6, 8).

Furthermore, Scripture teaches that believers are not resurrected until the second coming of Christ. Paul explicitly said that when the Lord comes down from heaven, “the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Jesus Himself taught that, at His bodily return to earth, “all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned” (John 5:28–29). If believers received their resurrected bodies at the moment of death, they obviously could not receive them at Christ’s Second Coming.

Finally, our eternal bodies are numerically identical to the bodies we now possess. As Christ rose in the same physical body in which He died, so, too, we will be raised in the same physical body in which we die. In other words, our resurrection body is not a second temporary body; rather, it is our present body transformed (1 Corinthians 15:42–43). While orthodoxy does not dictate that every cell of our present body will be restored in the resurrection, it does require continuity between the body that is and the body that will be.

One day, the very body of my father that I watched being lowered into the ground will rise from its grave. "It was sown a perishable body; it will be raised imperishable. It was sown in dishonour; it will be raised in glory. It was sown in weakness; it will be raised in power. It was sown a natural body; it will be raised a spiritual body" (1 Corinthians 15:42–44). On that day, my dad’s body will no longer be dominated by natural proclivities; instead, he will have a supernatural, spiritual body dominated by the Holy Spirit and set free from slavery to sin.

"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
1 Corinthians 15:51–52 NKJV

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT the BIBLE Is DIVINE RATHER THAN MERELY HUMAN in ORIGIN?

Today's inspiration comes from:
The Complete Bible Answer Book
by Hank Hanegraaff

To defend the faith, we must be equipped to demonstrate that the Bible is divine rather than human in origin. When we accomplish this, we will be able to answer a host of other objections by simply appealing to Scripture.

To begin with, the Bible has stronger manuscript support than any other work of classical history — including Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Caesar, and Tacitus. Equally amazing is the fact that the Bible has been virtually unaltered since the original writing, as is attested by scholars who have compared the earliest manuscripts with manuscripts written centuries later. Additionally, the reliability of the Bible is affirmed by the testimony of its authors, who were eyewitnesses — or close associates of eyewitnesses — to the recorded events, as well as by secular historians who confirm the many events, people, places, and customs chronicled in Scripture.

To defend the faith, we must be equipped to demonstrate that the Bible is divine rather than human in origin.

Furthermore, archaeology is a powerful witness to the accuracy of the New Testament documents. Repeatedly, comprehensive archaeological fieldwork and careful biblical interpretation affirm the reliability of the Bible. Archaeological finds have, for instance, corroborated biblical details surrounding the trial that led to the fatal torment of Jesus Christ: Pontius Pilate did order Christ’s crucifixion, and Caiaphas was the high priest who presided over the religious trials of Christ. It is telling when secular scholars must revise their biblical criticisms in light of solid archaeological evidence.

Finally, the Bible records prophecies of actual events that could not have been known or predicted by mere chance or common sense. For example, the book of Daniel (written before 530 BC) accurately foretold the progression of kingdoms from Babylon through the Median and Persian empires to the further persecution and suffering of the Jews under Antiochus IV Epiphanes with his desecration of the temple, his untimely death, and freedom for the Jews under Judas Maccabeus (165 BC). It is statistically preposterous that any or all of the Bible’s specific, detailed prophecies could have been fulfilled by chance, good guessing, or deliberate deceit.

PRESSING THROUGH the PAIN!

Today's inspiration comes from:
"Embraced"
by Lysa TerKeurst

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. — James 4:8 NKJV
Does it ever feel like the heartbreak in your life is trying to break you?

I understand. I really, really do. I’ve been in that place where the pain of heartbreak hits with such sudden and sharp force that it feels like it cuts through skin and bone. It’s the kind of pain that leaves us wondering if we’ll ever be able to function like a normal person again.

But God has been tenderly reminding me that pain itself is not the enemy.

Pain is the indicator that brokenness exists.

Pain is the reminder that the real Enemy is trying to take us out and bring us down by keeping us stuck in broken places. Pain is the gift that motivates us to fight with brave tenacity and fierce determination, knowing there’s healing on the other side.

And in the in-between? In that desperate place where we aren’t quite on the other side of it all yet, and our heart still feels quite raw? Pain is the invitation for God to move in and replace our faltering strength with His. I’m not writing that to throw out spiritual platitudes that sound good; I write it from the depth of a heart that knows it’s the only way.�We must invite God into our pain to help us survive the desperate in-between.

The only other choice is to run from the pain by using some method of numbing. But numbing the pain never goes to the source of the real issue to make us healthier. It only silences our screaming need for help.

We think we are freeing ourselves from the pain when, in reality, what numbs us imprisons us.

If we avoid the hurt, the hurt creates a void in us.

It slowly kills the potential for our hearts to fully feel, fully connect, and fully love again. It even steals the best in our relationship with God.

Pain is the sensation that indicates a transformation is needed. There is a weakness where new strength needs to enter. And we must choose to pursue long-term strength rather than temporary relief.

So how do we get this new strength? How do we stop ourselves from chasing what will numb us when the deepest parts of us scream for some relief? How do we stop the piercing pain of this minute, this hour?

We invite God’s closeness.

For me, this means praying. No matter how vast our pit, prayer is big enough to make us realise His presence like nothing else. Our key verse (James 4:8) reminds us that He will draw near to us when we draw near to God. When we invite Him close, He always accepts our invitation.

And when my heart feels hurt and my words feel quite flat, I let Scripture guide my prayers — recording His Word in my journal, and then adding my own thoughts.

One of my favourites to turn to is Psalm 91. I would love to share this verse with you today, as an example for when you prayerfully invite God into your own pain.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. — Psalm 91:1

Pain is the sensation that indicates a transformation is needed.

Prayer:

Lord, draw me close. Your Word promises when I draw close to You, You are there.

I want my drawing close to being a permanent dwelling place. At any moment when I feel weak and empty and alone, I pray that I won’t let those feelings drag me down into a pit of insecurity. Rather, I want those feelings to be triggers for me to immediately lift those burdensome feelings to You and trade them for the assurance of Your security.

I am not alone, because You are with me. I am not weak, because Your strength is infused in me. I am not empty, because I’m drinking daily from Your fullness. You are my dwelling place. And in You, I have shelter from every stormy circumstance and harsh reality. I’m not pretending the hard things don’t exist, but I am rejoicing in the fact that Your covering protects me and prevents those hard things from affecting me like they used to.

You, the Most High, have the final say over me. You know me and love me intimately. And today I declare that I will trust You during my pain. You are my everyday dwelling place, my saving grace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

And with that I close my prayer journal, feeling a lot less desperate and a lot more whole. I breathe the atmosphere of life His words bring. I picture Him standing at the door of my future, knocking. If I will let Him enter into the darkness of my hurt today, He will open wide the door to a much brighter tomorrow.

Dear Lord, in this moment I draw near to You and I invite Your closeness. Help me to experience Your presence today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
