” My Father is always working, and so am I.” John 5:17
God never sleeps. There is no such thing as being tired or wanting to stop to rest when it comes to God in Heaven. Jesus was much the same. He did as his Father in heaven told him and required little rest in his journey. The world we live in requires of us much the same as our God requires. Because of the evil, the lies, the unrest and the self-fulfillment of those on this earth, we are expected to stay on our toes at all times. This is what the Lord wants of us, and it is what the world requires of us. We cannot afford to not be alert at every turn. We cannot afford to let down for even a second. We must be alert and stay alert. Our faith must continue to grow and gain strength at every juncture of our life. Due to being overwhelmed with ideas, thoughts, lies, and the mistrust of those of this earth, our faith must stay strong. We are pounded daily by these worldly ideas that come from what we experience at work or view from the television at home. We see worldly things going on around us at the stores we visit, the restaurants we eat at and the ball games we attend. It makes it extremely hard, for faith in Jesus and the promises he brings to us, to stick to our ribs. It seems that we fill up in the morning with his word and by night we are completely on empty. We are drained by the end of the day. It is important that we stay the path. We must refuel at every opportunity, whether that be through reading biblical scriptures, praying short and to the point prayers to our God throughout the day, or by praising him when have opportunities. Our faith must stay on the front burner. The flame must never be allowed to go out. We must be able to produce new life and new fruit from our faith plant at all times. We must fight doubt worry and fear with what our God gives us, and that is faith in Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
