Renew Your Spiritual Vitality

The people in the book of Hebrews needed encouraging as some faced persecution.  They were suppose to follow the perfect example of Jesus, who overcame many difficulties. 

Jesus is our perfect model of faith.  He obeyed God even to the point of His death.

As you go through your difficult times, look for joy through it all. Think about how others can benefit from your struggle.  Look beyond your pain and find God's purpose for your struggle.

Read; "Psalm 126:2, Luke 15:5 and John 15:11"

          

May grace be with you.  Amen.

By Faith We Understand

Faith is more than a belief in God.  It is also the way of life.

~Hebrews 11:1-3~  "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.  By faith we understand that the worlds were framed  by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible".

Do something that demonstrates your faith.  For faith with no effort is no faith at all.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

In the books of the gospel  the disciples who lived and worked with Jesus were his close friends for three years.  As Jesus predicted His death, He shared it with his disciples and they were saddened and afraid to hear Him talk about leaving them.  Jesus tried to help His friends to see the bigger picture, that God had a purpose and a plan. The Holy Spirit was sent to complete several purposes among both believers and non-believers, including pointing out sin and allowing people to understand the truth.

The work of the Holy Spirit seals you.  When you accept Christ, God sealed you with the Spirit.  Believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise "Ephesians 1:13".  When those fiery darts seek to destroy you and to diminish your faith in God, the seal turns them away.  He has bought you; God paid too high a price to leave you unguarded.  Therefore, He protects you.  Your Father has no intention of letting you fall.

Read John 16:1-33

Great Hope

In the book of Exodus Moses had big doubts about his ability to lead God's people.  He resisted God, bringing up his unworthiness and lack of authority, his fear of the people's distrust, his speech difficulties and his sheer cowardice.

The remainder of this book should give people with similar self-doubts great hope, for it traces Moses personal development from this fumbling start to emergence as one of history's most decisive and powerful leaders.

I don't know about you, but this story gives me H-O-P-E!

Glory to God, Amen!

Jesus is Lord
