May 19 “Living with Certainty” Psalm 119:105
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
Wow! We are living in some crazy times! Haphazard behaviors, undisciplined ways, absence of basic Common Sense, and so many other words to describe a society that seems to have lost its way! During one of my, “I can’t sleep” nights, I was watching a program about self-improvement, and I was fascinated that they were promoting the idea that, with just a few short moments, each day, with their program, that you could transform yourself into a different person. I listened with curiosity, and I thought to myself, “that is preach-able!” The more that I listened, the more I became aware that I already have the best program for self-improvement and life-changing processes! We have the best book available for personal improvement, and that is the HOLY BIBLE! Today, I am going to provide a basic summary of the pathway to being the best that you can be! The very first thing that is required, is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ! “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)… Now that we have the foundation for our growth, we need to be aware that, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7)! Let us continue with the lesson of living. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)… “Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 19:19)… Wow! All of the wisdom and advice for living, is already written in this amazing book, “THE TRUE AND LIVING WORD OF GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE!!!” No wonder this book, this AMAZINGLY POWERFUL BOOK, that was written so many years ago, is STILL the ONLY source for our living and our service! This Book is STILL the “Best-seller” in the entire world! Do you think that it is time that we recognized our need, and opened this powerful program for living, and began to “shape-up?” For self-improvement, just reach for the perfect and powerful “WORD OF GOD!” TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused, Stay in the WORD… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
