SPECIAL MATRIC MESSAGE

So often during the last two years have we  quoted these verses: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
How wonderful that God speaks to us! Yet, we need to read on: Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.  
Now we are talking! If you went on a road trip recently, you would know how important it is to know the people you're travelling with. All sorts of problems pop out while we're on the road.
You are on a new one from today. Better make sure who's driving...I would suggest you get to know the One who knows what's lying ahead. You must be able to talk to Him, to get His take on things, to call on Him when you're in trouble.
Romans 10:8 & 9 makes it really simple: If you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 
Do we really need to be saved? You tell me...what about the bad habits you cannot shake, the wrong choices you've made? The Bible calls it sin and says we need to be saved from that and eternal hell. A future where there is no-one to share His precious thoughts with us and draw us near and say: "I know the thoughts I think toward you..."
