“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
Romans 12:3
We are wise to stay humble. We are nothing! God is everything! The only thing we have to brag on is Jesus!!! So if we are to talk then talk about what Jesus has done!

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;”
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
As followers of Jesus we have work to do for the Lord. Loving others and sharing the gospel. We also have. Another work to do…praying for missionaries around the world who are doing the work of the Lord. I hope we remember them as it says above “without ceasing “!!! Many have forsaken all the comforts of home to give others the opportunity for salvation in Christ!
Pray church pray!!!

“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11a
Remember we are on God’s time not ours. He is in control. For His followers everything will be perfect and beautiful in His time!!!
Thank you Lord and help us continue on no matter what we are going through!

“Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.”
John 20:19-20
For the disciples here it was first time seeing Jesus after resurrection. Can you imagine the joy we will experience when seeing Jesus our Lord for the very first time? Hallelujah!!!!

““What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,”
Job 7:17
Have you ever asked God something similar to this? The answer is Gods loves you. He has exulted you above all other things He created. You are the only thing created in His image.
Chew on that today!

““The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.”
Lamentations 3:24-25
When the follower of God sits down and thinks about things He will come to this same conclusion that Solomon did:
1. God is my portion! The most important portion of my life!
2. God is my Hope! I have no other Hope than Jesus.
3. Wait on God! He has the answers to all things.
4. Seek God. Continue to pursue Him and worship Him.

Short and to the point today!
“Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.”
Psalms 145:2
1. Do you bless the Lord by the way you live your life?
2. Do you praise the Lord everyday forever?
