Do you get tired of waiting? Waiting for answer to a prayer. Waiting to get a job. Waiting for coronavirus to go away. Waiting to see family and friends. Waiting to feel better.
There are many times in our lives we wait. Usually impatiently. But, God tells us to wait on Him and He will bring it to pass in His timing.
God knows what is best for us and when it is best for us. Today while you are waiting for whatever, take the time to draw closer to God. His blessing is just around the corner.
Sometimes we get discouraged, especially in this time of uncertainty. We live in a troubled world. Unrest, illness, politics, finances and many other things that may be bothering you.
God’s Word is full of encouragement. He tells us to keep on helping others. We can overcome our discouragement by doing things for someone else.
Love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Let us not be weary, but keep on and we will reap. Joy and contentment can be ours in this troubled time.
This story may or may not be true, but it is something to think about. As Christians we must be careful how we treat others. Sometimes our attitude, can make a huge difference in another’s life. Do we forgive others who make a mistake? Are we friendly, kind and helpful to those we come in contact with? Look around and see if you can be the difference in someone’s life today.
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Most churches are open. There may be restrictions or procedures that may make us feel uncomfortable, however, it is important to go to church if you are able.
It is so easy to stay home, especially after a long period of time when we did not get out. We need spiritual food and fellowship of other Christians.
So today, put away your fear and frustration with the rules and if you have no health problems, get ready and go to church. You will be blessed.
If you really cannot go physically, most churches are having virtual services. Make sure to watch and let the Lord speak to you.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
God sent the Holy Spirit to give us the power to witness and win souls. With most events closed due to the coronavirus, we need to be more diligent to look for opportunities to witness.
It is not the command to the pastor in the church. It is not a time for ministries like SOS Events to forget about soul winning.
God expects all Christians to be a witness for Him. Are you using the power God gave you?
There is an answer. It is found in the Bible.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
In Disney’s movie Bambi, Thumper gives some good advice about how we speak to one another.
The Bible tells us many times to be careful of our words. The old expression, “sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” is not true.
Our words can wound, discourage and cause great harm or can encourage, lift up and make someone’s day a blessing. Let us ask God to help us speak kind and thoughtful words.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
If you don’t know elections are coming soon, just go to your mailbox, turn on TV or radio and the political adds are everywhere. This year more than ever it is important that we get out and vote. You can also vote by mail.
However, the most important “vote” we can ever do is to decide that Jesus is the One who takes away sin and brings comfort and peace into our lives. No politician can do that.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Acts 10:42 – And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
