Be Patient and Persevering

James 5:7-11
"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.  See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.  You also be patient.  Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.  Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned.  Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!  My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.  Indeed we count them blessed who endure.  You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful".

Be encouraged by His words.  Amen.

Not Carnality But, Christ

In the book of Colossians, Paul provided the church with guidelines for proper conduct.  Paul needed to remind the Colossians whom they served.

~Colossians 3:1-11~

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.  Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy filthy language out of your mouth.  Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

And the Lord has already blessed the reading of His word.  Amen!

A Happy Heart

~Proverbs 15:13;17:22~
A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken....A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Amen!

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.
