THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD!

4-19-2024. . . .THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD!

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The daily postings of Excerpts For Living have not been posted this week because a week ago today my world was litterally turned upside down as a result of my precious wife, Coretta, suffering a life threatening injury that has landed her in UAB Hospital.  She remains there at this moment battling for her life.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you that have prayed, expressed words of encouragement and expressed your concerns even without knowing what was going on.  She is yet fighting and we have been standing firm in our faith, believing God for a miracle!

I ask for your continued prayers for my family and I as we navigate this very challenging circumstance.  Let me state categorically and infatically, GOD IS A MIRCLE WORKER and there is Nothing too hard for God!

Please agree in faith with us and stay on the wall bombarding Heaven with your prayers for our precious Coretta!

Thank you, I love you and God loves you too!

Prayerfully, Elder Perry Broadnax~

NOTHING TO CHANCE!

EXCERPTS FOR LIVING!    4-25-2012. . . .NOTHING TO CHANCE!

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Prov 3:5-6 KJV)  

No one in their right mind would willfully engage in a came of Russian Roulette.  The stakes are too high; the results unpredictable; and one mistake could be deadly!  Failing to trust God and following our own way should be viewed in much the same way!  The stakes are to high; results unpredictable; and one mistake could be deadly!  Leave nothing to chance.  TRUST GOD!

Prayer: Lord, our trust is in you.  The stakes are to high not to!  With you, we expect and have predictable outcomes.  Amen!

Prov 3:5-6. . . . Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. KJ

A DO OVER!

4-10-2024. . . .A DO OVER!

"But God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much that even though we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead-only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved."  (Eph 2:4-5 TLB) 

Life does not offer us many "Do Overs."  We have to play the hand we have been dealt so to speak.  Christ however, by dying on the cross for our sins, has in effect, given us a 'Do Over!'   The question is, what will we do with it?

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us another chance.  Help us to make the best of it by being the best and doing the best we can!  Amen. 

Gal 2:20. . . .I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. KJV

 

AN ADVANTAGE!

 

4-9-2024. . . .AN ADVANTAGE!

"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Proverbs 18:22 KJV 

 It is not good that the man should be alone, so  God made a helper suitable to him!   A man can certainly choose to be alone, and that's okay!  However, should a man choose a woman to be his wife, he receives unto himself a special blessing from God.  God literally gives him an advantage (favor)  in life!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the blessing of a loving mate!  What a blessing it is!  Amen!

Prov 18:23. . . .The man who finds a wife finds a good thing; she is a blessing to him from the Lord.  TLB

DO IT AND DO IT RIGHT!

4-5-2024. . . .DO IT AND DO IT RIGHT!

"Don't just pretend that you love others: really love them.   Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good.  Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other." (Rom 12:9-10 TLB) 

Why bother pretending to love!  Everyone knows what love really looks like and feels like so no one is fooled.  Loving for real blesses both the receiver and the giver!  So why not just do it and do it right!

PRAYER: Lord, help us to love each other the way we should!  Amen.

1 John 4:7-8. . . . Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.  KJV

 

FIND REAL PURPOSE!

 

4-16-2012. . . . FIND REAL PURPOSE!

"For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows." (1 Tim 6:10 TLB) 

Money is good and a tool to be used.  The love of money however, can most certainly lead to ruin.  The more one runs after it the faster it runs away.  Stop pursuing it and let it pursue you!  Find real purpose!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for placing in us a higher purpose than the pursuit of material things.  Thank you, and thank you again.  Amen!

1 Tim 6:8-9. . . . But people who long to be rich soon begin to do all kinds of wrong things to get money, things that hurt them and make them evil-minded and finally send them to hell itself.  TLB
