“You must always act in the fear of the Lord, with faithfulness and an undivided heart.” 2 Chronicles 19:9
“But Jesus spoke to them at once, DON’T BE AFRAID, he said, TAKE HEART I AM HERE.“ Matthew 14:27
All we have to do when we get up each morning is to look at the sun and see that our Lord continues to be with us. He is still handing out hope, love and salvation. As we begin each new day, we continue to have the opportunity to live God’s Word in front of others. We can be grateful that our God has given us another day to spread his word to those around us and to live lives that show his grace and mercy, not only in and through us, but show to others that grace and mercy are available for those entwined in today’s world. It is probable that we will be laughed at, prosecuted by being taunted or made fun of because of our faith and beliefs. There will be great efforts made to make us feel uncomfortable in our testimonies. However, we were not given another day to waste on feeling sorry for ourselves and indulging in self-pity. We were given another day to win someone new to Christ Jesus! We were given another day to show those we meet, how we have changed our own lives in ways that seem impossible. We will be attacked! Anytime we are standing with Jesus the devil and his company of demons will be on the offense. They hate to see goodness put into this world. They hate the very ideas that Jesus stands for. But we are stronger than anything the devil or this world can throw at us. With the faith we have been given, and the tools we have been given to build on that faith, we cannot be defeated if we stay the course. We represent the greatest force ever assembled, the Army of our God in heaven! We have the Holy Spirit to guide us, give us strength when we need it, and to love us when we are down. All we have to do is look at the sun each day and see the hope our Lord provides in his period of grace. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
