I apologize for the lack of posts over the last 2 weeks. I was on a trip in Asia and unable to access this Blogspot web-site because of censorship laws there. Please keep the people of China in your prayers as they continue to grow in the Lord, and strengthen their resolve to serve Him.
Read It, Learn It, Live It, Share It
Do you really know where it is you are going each day? I’m not talking about to work, school or the store. I’m referring to life. Where are your steps today taking you? One step closer to tomorrow, or are you stuck in the mud and mire of today’s circumstance and problems? The Lord gives you a sunrise each and every morning as a reminder that all things are new once again. Today is only defined by the hour hand on the clock, but your life is defined by the moments and memories within each day. For the next 24 hours, you will have the opportunity to do great things for other people and to expand His Kingdom on this earth. Certainly, you will have responsibilities along the way, such as your job, your bills, your kids, your friends and family; but you purpose for getting out of bed today was placed in your heart by your Creator.
Serving His purpose is the plan for the day. Are you in a place in life where you can actually serve Him wherever He might call you to serve? What would happen if you were led to help those people in the “Inner city” find shelter today? How much of your planned life would you give up to help another person? What if a child needed to be cared for, so the mother could look for a job? What if your neighbor fell on hard times and needed help financially to make it through the month? What if that friend from so many years ago was on the verge of doing something terrible because of a battle with depression raging inside of them?
We are one in the Lord. We are a community of brothers and sisters, sworn to love, cherish and serve those around us. You plan may take you to the office or classroom or grocery store today. Let it. Let your daily walk proceed in a manner that achieves it’s end purpose, but at the same time, let the Lord work in and through you to touch those you come in contact with. Despite your belief and your desire, you are not here on this earth for your joy and happiness. You are here to serve the One and Only God of the Universe, because He placed His loving trust in you, and called you to follow Him.
When the sun sets on this beautiful day, you can sit in soft reflection on the walk you took with the Lord today. Contemplate the opportunities that came and went, and your use of those to bring glory to your King. After all, that is why you get out of bed each morning, and that is the purpose you are on this earth. Think about the eternal plan of life, death and heaven, and you will realize that you are here at this time, in this place for a purpose that has nothing to do with you. You are only living this life to bring those around you to a better understanding and relationship with their Creator; and then your days will come to an end.
My request for you today, is to think bigger about what you are doing with the moments you have between sunrise and sunset each and every day. Use them wisely, for once they have passed, they are no longer yours to control. Be blessed my friends, and seek His way today.
