Good morning! How are we faithing? Man o man I'm glad this year is almost over. Nor complaining but looking forward to a fresh start, a new beginning as it were. Sometimes we have to take a deep breath, put everything behind us, remember who we are in Christ and press on. The future holds huge things for us and when we focus on God with assurance of his majesty we can press into whatever comes. The news has been heart wrenching this year. Personal things have been hard. Tomorrow holds things that we can either choose to be burdensome or we can choose to press in to them knowing God has control. Some people I know are really struggling with sadness and a really unknown future. We all know someone who has a struggle heck man, it may be you. Lean in to God. Pray without ceasing. This relationship with Jesus allows us to converse with him about everything. I want to encourage you to do not fear but to know Jesus loves you and by faith we are redeemed. You've heard this all before I suppose but sometimes we just need reassuring. Pray for your enemies, if your enemy is thirsty, give em a drink. If he's hungry, give em a sandwich. If he's cold, take your coat and shirt off and put it on him, you have more at home. Think out side you because you ain't taking any of this stuff with you anyways. Love with deeds not just your mouth.
1Co 13:1-8
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing.
Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Charity never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
remember Calvin...remember Fred...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love. Help us live as Christians and not just talk it. Help us see needs and know how to meet them. Bless those homeless and hungry. Let your Word so permeate this country that a huge revival come this next year. Let this country know that you are on your throne. In Jesus name, amen
