“Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God is with you every step you take.” Joshua 1:9
” My Kingdom is not an earthly Kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.” John 18:36
Our kingdom is also not of this world. We fight every day to stay on the right path so that we can get to our heavenly kingdom. We are not of this world, but we are spirits who are finding our way home. We wake every day to new challenges that stand in our way. Sometimes we even take a break because we think it may be too hard and we are tired and need a rest from our presence in the Lord our God in heaven. We wander and slowly return on our own time schedule. However, we must be very careful. Tomorrow and its opportunities may never arrive. We are not promised tomorrow but are promised only the moment we live in. We are to display strength and courage in the moments our Lord has given us. We are to complete our tasks at hand and not fear or be timid about how we feel about Jesus. Tomorrow may never arrive for us. We must not take for granted our life and how to use it. Tomorrow is promised to no one, so it is necessary that we are clear about our relationship with Jesus and that we live our lives so that others can see our faith and our beliefs. It is by our faith and our way of life that we reach others in this world. It maybe you who reaches that poor ragged person sitting on the street corner. It maybe you who reaches that mother who is down and out and needs strength, encouragement, and most of all, needs Jesus. We just never know what life we are touching. We just don’t know into whose path we have been placed and who the Lord is using us to touch. Our lives in Jesus are so important. The way we live and represent Him is so critical for us and for those around us. We must stay strong! We must never be timid in our faith! Tomorrow may never come. Tomorrow may be today! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
