Blog post August 7th

Ezra 4:24-6:22

1 Corinthians 3:5-23

Psalm 29:1-11

Proverbs 20:26-27

Reading todays versus I got the sense of encouragement and serving others. God may send prophets to encourage and and strengthen his people. So when we are doing the work off God, others may try to confuse or bring us down but no matter who tries stop us God will accomplish his purpose. Just as we see God had watched over the Jewish elders her watches over us. 

As I keep having to go to the doctors I wonder what God's purpose is for all this and worrying bout the future, but I have to realize that I must concentrate on Gods purpose. We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth. We cant predict how God will get His purpose accomplished, but we can place our trust in Him. God may use my situation for His great use, just as he uses our weakness for his strength. 

As we are serving others, it may not always be easy to speak up about our faith to an unbelieving world, but we must. We must seek God first and people second and when we give into lean in to people reactions and criticisms we may become fearful. We wont be effective workers for Christ if we try to please everyone, so let us not be intimidated and let others know whom you serve by your actions and words. What actions could you take this week to strengthen your ties to fellow Christians in the church of Jesus Christ? Such as reaching out to your next door neighbor and ask how they are doing or invite a friend over for tea and coffee and ask how they are doing in life, by doing this we begin to serve others.

I pray  God's laws are guidelines and lights for our paths, instead of chains. May we understand how great Gods power is, the same power that raised Christ from the dead. When we feel weak and broken, remember that God can give us the strength too and that everything we do as we are building our life, real and lasting foundation,

Amen.
