Where are you looking?

Hello everyone its been over a month since my last blog. We've been so busy around our house with getting ready for weddings, grandchildren,livestock shows, prom; I could go on but I think everyone knows what I mean. I beleive our children are the greatest blessing, other than salvation, that the Good Lord gives us!
I've always loved this time of year. Everything is getting green and blooming, fishing is going good, spring turkey season for some is here, just a great time of year to be outside and enjoying what GOD has made for us to enjoy! Another reason to enjoy a beatiful day like yesterday for some is Easter Egg hunts. I think this is another area we've put commercialism in front of what is Holy,thats another subject for another time.
As I've meditated on the scriptures of the "season" the last couple of weeks what really struck me was the verse:
1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " 8Then they remembered his words.

"why do you look for the living among the dead" with all of the false religions,prophets and so forth out there I think this passage rings true! We have longing in us as humans that can only be satisfied by GOD. Day in and day out we see our fellow man chase (and us as well!) money,hobbies,religion,careers, all these differant things to fill our soul. In other words we are searching for the living among the dead!
We as Christians can also be as guilty when we put tradition and religion before Christ! He is the only way and only reason for salvation, His Blood! We hear alot of "ways" to get to Heaven but scripture correctly states JESUS is the ONLY way! To pursue any other way is "looking for the living among the dead"
If you are reading this blog and do not know Jesus as your personal savior there is no time like now to accept HIM. Its not hard, we see John 3:16 and it tells all:

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
It's that simple! Accept HIM as your Savior! I promise you'll NEVER regret it!
It's been wonderful getting back in the swing of things and taking up writing again!
Remeber to pray for everyone in your life, whether it's because of death, salvation, sickness etc... ALWAYS leave it with GOD!

As Always, I Love You and the LORD surely loves you!!!!!!!!!!!

In HIM, BrianF
