Victory Today

Ps. 11 David asked, "If the foundations be destroyed what are the righteous to do?" Endure! God's word is right, His promises sure. The things we see all around us are all straight out of His Word. So stand tall my friend. Keep on keeping on and keep looking up!

Dear Pastor B, "My friend says I need to be baptized to really be saved?" "How much does Satan have to do with all the wickedness going on today?" "My friend says he is a die in the wool Democrat. Should I break off our friendship or allow it to go further like dating?"

If God had said the Job, "It's going to all work out. Your later days will be greater than your first." We could have understood Job trusting God because he knew God had a plan BUT Job didn't know how it would all end but he knew God had a plan and resolved to trust Him no matter what! We must do the same.

In Job 1 Satan has been up to his usual roving to and fro and God asks him if he has considered his servant Job. Satan reply that he has but that God has a hedge of protection around him. My friend if that hedge was good enough to keep Satan away from Job it's good enough to protect you and me!

Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday! Interesting---here we are a Christmas time. The angels message was "fear not" yet so many are gripped with fear. "Peace on earth" yet many have no peace. "Glory to God in the highest" yet so many do not glorify God. We fret and stu about stuff we have no control over.

Someday there will be no more tomorrows! We must let our light shine---do His will---reach our loved ones and friends while there is still time. We all must come out of our comfort zones, pray for boldness while yet there is time!

Will Roe vs. Wade be overturned? What to do when a loved one says, "That's good for you but not foe me?' A time tested, proven way to reach teenagers! Has God changed His mind on homosexuality or anything else?

The question is not how much you have done for God but rather did you do what He made you to do? We each have different callings and differing abilities---the question is did we do what we were suppose to do? Did we fulfill His will for our lives?

There is a lost and dying world all around us and we have the answer! One day we are told we will answer to Him for what we have done with our lives especially whether or not we were willing to "let our light shine" to those He has placed in our world! We may not win them all but the great question of the hour is did we warn them?

Gen. 18 Ten people willing to stand for God could have changed the whole story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Just 10 people willing to stand in the gap and pray!
