October 8 “Remaining Faithful, Regardless” Psalm 31:23-24
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Oh, love the Lord, all you, His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” (Psalm 31:23-24)
Have you ever felt all alone or in a barren and dry time? In those times, when it feels as if you are facing the challenges and struggles of this world, as a single soldier, in this overwhelming conflict, we MUST remember and cling to HIS PROMISES! We MUST seek God as our source of power and HIS PROMISE of holding us secure in HIS LOVE. We MUST recognize our gifts and talents and utilize these blessings, to the utmost. In these downtimes, we MUST feed our souls with HIS WORD! We MUST read, study, and prepare to SHARE HIS LOVE! We MUST continue to reflect HIS BEAUTY, inside and out! Remember, that we REPRESENT the GOD of THE UNIVERSE, and that HE IS OUR SOURCE AND SUPPLY! We MUST encourage ourselves! We MUST talk to ourselves and speak positive and affirming words of encouragement and strength, as we face the obstacles and challenges, and claim the reality and accept HIS POWER to OVERCOME! We MUST live our lives with DELIBERATE and INTENTIONAL DEPENDENCE on our AMAZING GOD! As Born-Again Believers, we WILL face challenges and difficulties! We MUST cling to the PROMISE: “Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Stay Strong, Stay Focused…. THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
