Most know John 3:16, but many do not know the next verse. It says that Jesus was not sent to tell us that we were all sinners. The 10 commandments reveal that to us already. We have all sinned. Instead, God sent Jesus as a remedy for our sinfulness by dying for us. He provided a way for all of us to be saved even though we did not deserve it nor could earn it.

God gives us a choice to serve Him or not. No one has to follow Him. But you do have to make a choice. You will serve one god or another. So which god have you chosen to worship? Joshua decided that He and his family would serve the Lord God. What choice have you made for you and your family?

With all that is going on, it is almost impossible to not worry. We don’t know what’s ahead. The good news (and there is ALWAYS good news) is that we can give all of our worries to God. We should turn them all over to Him because He cares for each one of us. He is not just a disinterested observer, watching the world spinning out of control. He is a loving Heavenly Father who is deeply concerned and cares about us. That means He takes care of us. So take to Him all of your worries and cares. He does care.
