Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Have you ever been on the water, and all is well, and the fish are biting, and the winds are calm, and in a moment, the water begins to get “choppie” and the winds begin to blow, and the clouds thicken, as they prepare to produce a strong thunderstorm? The beauty and the joy of the fishing moment is disrupted and “clouded” by the coming storm! Friends, this life is full of storms and circumstances that require all that we are and the power of Almighty God, within our lives, in order to survive the challenges! We need not run, nor do we need to fear! John 16:33 tells us that, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” When we are followers of Christ, and He is our lord and Savior, then we are OVERCOMERS! Listen, regardless of what the world and all of its “experts” say, God is still in control and storms will come and calamities will happen, and tempests will blow, yet, for the Believer, we have the assurance of His Grace and we, through the blood of Jesus, become the Holy Spirit empowered “Storm ready, Wind calming, Death defying, Spirit filled champions for the cause of Christ! The Abundant Life that has been promised, is not affects by circumstances! Calamities will come, and the storms will rage, yet we are walking by FAITH, and we are covered by His Grace, and we can (and should) life courageously in the confidence of His Grace and Promises. When we are in the firm grip of His Grace, then we can take comfort and courage, when we face the trials of this life. REMEMBER: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” He will deliver Strength of the Battle, Courage for the Challenge, Peace for the Struggle and He will See Us Through! My continued prayer is that my life would bring Honor and Glory to my Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and, be a reflection, of the Power and Guidance of the Blessed Holy Spirit! How about you? Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
