I saw a picture a while back of a man walking down the road, muttering that God didn’t care about him. What the man could not see, however, were angels all around him, holding back demons trying to reach him. If you base your opinion of how much God loves you on what your five senses can perceive, you are more than likely blind to reality. There is a spiritual realm all around us, of angels and demons we cannot see. Angels carrying out the will of God and protecting His children. Demons, under the control of Satan, are trying to distract the lost from salvation and do their best to hinder and discourage the believer. If everything in reality were made visible to us, we would fall on our faces before God.
It boils down to faith. You cannot base everything God is doing for you on your senses. So often He is working in ways we cannot see, in ways we cannot fathom, and oh, how many miracles have happened on our behalf that we may never be aware of. Trust the Lord to take care of you. Praise Him even when you cannot see what God is doing in your life. Add to that the fact that we are just a part of God’s overall plan, and He works in our lives according to His will, not our perceived best outcome. Trust Him, believe His Word, and know He is working in your life far beyond your ability to see or understand.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Philippians 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Psalm 27:13-14 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Good Sunday Morning….
It is just a spider. There she goes, minding her own business, looking for a nice insect to eat or working on her web, when some huge mountain of a creature sees her. Some will run away screaming, and the spider must think, why would that huge creature run from me? Some will gently pick her up and place her outside. The spider is frightened but scurries off. Some may even capture her and place her in a container to stare at her. Then some will instantly kill the spider out of fear. All these reactions, and it’s just a spider. The spider is only a catalyst for what is inside us: fear, compassion, or curiosity. Those emotions stem from past experiences or knowledge and set the stage for either reaction or action. Now I don’t like spiders, yet my reaction isn’t the spider’s fault but my own.
I find that true when we unexpectedly run into the challenges of life. The challenge is just a challenge; how we react to it depends on what is inside of us. Some run in fear, some take it head-on, and some play around with it. Our phobias and inclinations, while part of our experience and learning, can help or hurt when a challenge arises. That’s why God tells us to cast all our cares on Him, that He has not given us a spirit of fear, and that He will supply all of our needs. The challenge God places or allows in our path should not just bring out who we are, but should be an opportunity for God to manifest through us by His Spirit, building our faith and establishing our ways. If the challenge isn’t accomplished, it isn’t the challenge’s fault but our own. If we are willing, God will make a way where there seems to be no way. What will your reaction be to the next challenge that comes your way?
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

God has many things He will lead us, by His Spirit, to do. The key is: are we listening and available?
Eph. 2:10

Colossians 4:2 “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”
How is your prayer life? Have you prayed before reading this devotion? This verse tells us to “Continue steadfastly”. What does being steadfast mean? According to a topical Bible the word “steadfast” refers to “a firm, unwavering, and resolute manner of holding to one’s beliefs, commitments, or course of action”. However, this verse says “continue”. It suggests Paul’s audience was steadfast, but the fact he uses the word “continue” means to me there could be a reason people don’t continue. What keeps you from continuing to be steadfast? What have you done to make sure you continue to be steadfast?

If you have a pile of lumber, nails, screws, tin, and other building materials, you could make a variety of things. You could build a shed, a church, a doghouse, or even a home. Now, if you have a kit, it is a collection of materials with a specific outcome in mind, along with instructions to complete it. It may be a log cabin, a house, or a model car, but all those parts are meant to come together to create a particular thing.
Many people treat their life like a pile of materials and go about creating whatever they want. They usually tear it down after a while and try to make something else, or they don’t have enough materials to do what they want. It usually ends up in a mess. You may not realize it, but your life is actually a kit. God has a plan for your life. He has an outcome for your life. He gives you all the materials you need to become who He wants you to be, and even gives you directions from His Holy Word on how to proceed. He even gives you the ability to add some personal touches of your own, but He has the master plan. Let God build you and create you according to His will, and you will find who you were meant to be. To God be all the glory.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

This Sunday on “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts” will be special guest Comedian Tim Lovelace. We will discuss his new book Green Rain: which is Inspiring Short Stories from the Unique Perspective of a Humorist, the debut title from GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist and bestselling comedian Tim Lovelace, bows July 14 from Pathway Press. A collection of 50 anecdotes brimming with wit and wisdom, the book features a foreword from author and speaker Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
Inspired by Lovelace’s popular Moments that Motivate podcast and nationally syndicated radio series, Green Rain piques instant curiosity with such chapter titles as “Lightsaber Duel of the Century,” “The Tale of the Traveling Tomato,” and “How to Train a Squirrel.” Delivering equal measures of lighthearted amusement and earnest encouragement, Lovelace’s ultimate goal is to bring joy, hope, and perspective— one story at a time.
“The truth is, I’m not here to teach you how to live,” he explains. “Life is already doing that; daily, relentlessly, without asking permission. This book is a collection of life moments. My hope is that you are inspired to embrace the hidden treasures and opportunities that await us every day; moments to encourage others, love deeply, and live fully.”
“I’ve had the privilege of listening to Tim Lovelace perform his comedy act, and the laughter comes straight from my gut,” writes Beiler in the book’s foreword. “Only God knows laughter is as important as good medicine is for the healing of our bodies. The stories in this book will uplift your spirit and provide medicine for your soul. …It feels like a collection of practical ‘how-to’s’ for the ‘ought-to’s’ in our daily lives.”
Green Rain arrives on the heels of Lovelace’s acclaimed January StowTown Records set, On a Different Note. Showcasing his signature piano stylings across a thoughtfully curated selection of American classics and beloved sacred favorites, the instrumental project includes Lovelace’s renditions of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” and “This is My Father’s World,” among others, as well as the standout “Celebration of America Medley,” a tapestry of such patriotic stalwarts as “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Shenandoah,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” “America The Beautiful,” and “God Bless America.”
We will also discus his family and not let him Leave till he tells up a comedically story. Tune in Sunday morning to hear all of this from Tim!!!

Good morning and welcome to “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts”. A couple of weeks ago on May 30th we would have been celebrating the birthday of our friend Jeff Stice. Jeff was a great musician and Gospel Music artist that left us back during the Pandemic and we miss his funny character and his music. I went back and pulled up the last interview I did with him at the Roopville Baptist Church in Roopville, Georgia. I hope you enjoy listening to Jeff and his thoughts on his career in Gospel Music.
