“BE PATIENT!”

James 5:7-8

“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.”

We are living in such an instant age that the mere mention of patience flies in the face of our way of life.  We have instant cash machines and instant check-out counters. So many things in our modern world are designed to save time, effort and energy, but they have failed!

Even with all of the short-cuts and labor saving devices at our disposal, we seem to have less time for the important things in life than ever before.  Not only that, but these time and labor saving devices leave us more tired and exhausted.  By the end of the day we often walk and talk like robots.  The time-saving gadgets and gizmo's leave us running at a break-neck pace to get from appointment to appointment.  What has happened?

The answer lies in the Word of God.  In all of our efforts we have totally failed to develop the proper discipline of patience.  We do not desire to wait or slow down for anything.  In all of our hectic, fast-paced schedules, we are so busy making things happen that we leave no room for that all important "quiet time" of waiting to see what God is going to bring into being.

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!  - - Pastor Cecil

“IMPORTANT THINGS!”

1 Corinthians 1:27

“But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.”

I recall once leaving a food court with a trash bag in one hand and a sack of baked goods in the other. When I arrived at my car I realized that I had thrown the wrong bag in the trash. My beautiful croissant was lost forever! Recalling that incident reminds me that we are prone to make the same blunder when it comes to our spiritual values. We hold onto the “trash” and throw the valuable spiritual truth away.

Remember the story of Job?  God boasted to Satan that Job was the most righteous man in all the earth. But Job, a God-fearing man, had no idea that there was a battle in heaven over his integrity.  He only knew that calamity after calamity crashed over him destroying all that he held dear.

God knows that we are not perfect. He knows our every thought and the motive behind each and every action we take. That is why we need to make sure we do not mistakenly throw out the precious things of God only to find ourselves holding onto the worthless trash of this world. What are you holding in your hands?

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

 “SPILLED MILK!”

Job 10:10

“Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?”

Accidents happen―and usually at the most inconvenient time. Often it is only a glass of spilled milk that causes an immediate change of plans. In our family it seemed that spilled milk always occurred just as we were about to leave the house, and somehow it resulted in an immediate revision of our schedule.

The fact of the matter is that we need to always be ready to adjust our schedules to the plans that the Lord has for us. I am sure that the Lord uses those inconvenient accidents to direct us in the way He has prepared for us.

I want to be open to receive the direction the Lord has for me rather than trying to persuade Him to bless the direction I have plotted out for myself. That means  I must spend much more time in His word and bowing before Him in prayer seeking His will and way.

As I look back over all the “spilled milk” in my life, I become aware that the Lord’s hand was in it. What I felt that I had to accomplish was not worth considering when I became aware that His plans were good and perfect. It is always good to trust the Lord, even when we have to stop to wipe up some spilled milk now and then!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today and be a blessing!

 “TRUST AND OBEY!”

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a situation that seemed to have no solution? How do we cope? In this passage in Proverbs we see there are two things we are cautioned to avoid: Relying on our own understanding and being wise in our own eyes. These are hard for us to accomplish since we want to be in control of things around us.

When encountering evil or injustice we rise up with righteous indignation and want to correct the situation. It should be clear to us (and others) that our fervent anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

If we are to avoid using our own abilities, how are we to deal with the problems that confront us? The answer is very clear. It begins with trusting in the Lord with all of our heart. That means letting go and letting God have control.

Secondly we must acknowledge God in all of our ways. The Hebrew word for acknowledge is the word yada. It means in part to learn more and more about God and His ways. As we do that, we rest in Him, study His Word, and discover more of His wonderful attributes. 

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today and be a blessing!
