Come on, be honest: Do you get tired of doing the right thing? Of doing good? The Bible tells us in Galatians 6:9 to "not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessings if we don't give up."
Continuing on with #BeTheLight and talking about how EASY it is to be a light in this world. We make it more complicated. Isaiah 58:10 tells us to , "Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon."
It's like an extension of devotionals 12 and 13... However, instead of IN THE LIGHT, now we are talking about BE THE LIGHT. John 8:12 Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." So today's challenge is BE THE LIGHT!
The Savior of the world, God's son, Jesus Christ himself lives in you?!?!? "Don't you realize that Jesus Christ lives in you?" (2 Corinthians 13:5 ERV) That means HIs power, His Presence, His healing, His love, His mercy, His joy, His strength, His wisdom and so much more is inside of you!
Philip has been walking, living, learning, growing with Jesus for close to three years now. That's 24/7 with the Son of God himself. And yet Philip still says to Jesus, "Show us the Father. That is all we need." And Jesus answered him, "Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So YOU SHOULD KNOW ME."(John 14:8-9 ERV). Guys, WE SHOULD KNOW HIM! And one of the best ways to get to know HIM is doing these four things daily: READ the WORD. THINK about it. TALK to GOD about it. And ACT on it.
Man-Oh-Man! It's New Year's Day! With a new year comes new resolutions or goals or whatever you want to call it. And maybe you're setting the target a little lower because you think you can achieve what GOD actually wants you to do... But guess what? YOU CAN DO IT! Why? Because HE is with you. Says so in Exodus 3:12. Moses says, "I'm not a great man." And God replies, "You can do it because I will be with you."
There's that gospel song that says "Trouble won't last always" and it's not just a feel good thing to say. HIS WORD tells us that "Nevertheless that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever." Be encouraged!
It's a resounding chorus of people yelling out loud "Don't hurt yourself! We are all here!" No matter how dark or lonely or hard it is.
Although today we will concentrate on Ecclesiastes 4:12, we will read through verses 9-12 to get a better idea as to why #LifeIsBetterTogether...
