"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 18 August 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: 2 Thessalonians 3:16 "Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The lord be with you all."
Given a choice, most of us would rather avoid things like cancer, doctors, debt, fiasco's, fatigue, insomnia, inflation and stress in general. BUT God has not promised us a trouble free life. In fact, the furnace of difficulty can prepare us in unique ways for service.
Consider these words from Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
This verse does not say that we need to comfort others from inside ourselves. It points out to us to the compassionate Christ as the source of the comfort that will bless others who suffer.
Today's Hymn: "Victory In Jesus" (verse 1)
I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary, to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins, and won the victory
O victory in Jesus, My Savior, forever, He sough me and bough me
With His redeeming blood; He loved me 'ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him, He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, life is often hard, but You are always good. May we accept Your peace in our lives and give You all of our burdens so that we might be free to worship and glorify You. Help us in our daily life's to seek You, and to listen for your soft, tender, sweet loving voice as You guide us through each day of our temporary home here on this earth. May we always and forever more, give You all the Praise and Glory for which You so richly deserve.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Anyone who opposes Christ and His church and seeks to deceive others into worshipping false gods is against Christ, and in that case is an antichrist."
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins to to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
