What could you do this week to reach farther, see wider, feel deeper on behalf of Christ? What could help you kindle a greater understanding and perspective, broader vision, and deeper compassion for this vast hurting world of ours?
Nothing stirs your sleepy faith like a little rescue mission—being a part of God’s great plan to reach people who are approaching eternity condemned to a fiery fate. So...wake up and join the action.
Take away courage, discipline, and determination and you have cut the heart out of real living. When Paul wrote those words, he had already endured unimaginable hardship for Christ. Yet he stayed the course.
Pain and suffering are never easy. I’m not suggesting that. But you are experiencing this trial so that God can use you one day to bring comfort to someone who winds up in the same situation.
How much better to live each day with the realization that life is too short to run roughshod over people and things that matter most. Instead, let’s allow the Lord to show us His path and leave everything else to Him.
Ask the Lord to give you the resolve and strength required to go the distance. Someone’s eternal destiny is counting on it. Don’t quit.
Are you willing to be the messenger who brings the good news of salvation?
Is your faith little or is it big? That’s a better standard by which to measure you. If your faith is little, ask the Lord to increase it. If your faith is big, use it to challenge others to greater levels of confidence in the Lord.
Despite the younger generation’s behavior, God has designed us to work toward gaining a genuine independence from our parents, while learning total dependence on Him.
Don’t you think it’s time to turn from the past and look to what lies ahead? It’s never too late to allow the Lord to bring about genuine change in your life.
