LISTEN AND OBEY

” WORK HARD TO SHOW THE RESULTS OF YOUR SALVATION, BY OBEYING GOD WITH DEEP REVERENCE AND FEAR. FOR GOD IS WORKING IN YOU, GIVING YOU THE DESIRE AND THE POWER TO DO WHAT PLEASES HIM. ” PHILIPPIANS 2: 12-13

Each and every one of us have a life to live and a story to tell. That story is either going to be one of living in the world or one of living in Christ Jesus. All of our stories begin at birth but when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior our stories change. Our life changes, the way we live changes and the way we speak changes. However, our stories become more complex as we live longer lives. The Lord has things for us to do and to accomplish. We have to be patient before him and listen to the small still voice of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been given to each of us to live within us and direct us in our daily lives. He directs us to not only live a life that is acceptable to God but also to help us to be successful and triumphant. We must continue to live in the Lord each and everyday. We must love him and obey him. We must honor him and praise him. Our primary job on this earth is to win others to Christ. We are tools used by God to help save them from an eternity in hell. We are tools that the Lord our God in heaven uses to complete his work. We should strive to tell stories of salvation, healing and forgiveness. We should keep our focus on Jesus by living our lives in joy and peace and be able to spread our stories to others. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
