April 11 “VICTORY in My JESUS” 1 Corinthians 15:57
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)
Many years ago, I asked our Music Director, why she always seemed to select songs that were upbeat and cheerful and inspiring. Her answer was a “preachable moment” for me. She said, “when I think about worship and when I consider all that God has done for us, my heart is full and my joy overflows, and out of gratitude, I select songs that reflect the fact that I am ‘Thinking about God!’” It took a few years for me to understand the broader meaning of her words! The secret of real and lasting Joy, is to “THINK ABOUT GOD!” Regardless of the circumstances, “THINK ABOUT GOD!” Regardless of the worldly conditions, “THINK ABOUT GOD!” Every day of this life will bring struggles, conflicts and challenges and temptations, but the strength and power to overcome any and all issues is found in the Love of God, through our Savior, JESUS CHRIST! Because of God’s Love, and the Selfless Act at Calvary of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are overcomers. Real and lasting Joy is found in the VICTORY IN JESUS! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS ABSOLUTELY AND WITHOUT DOUBT, YET TO BE! I BELIEVE IT, I CLAIM IT, I EXPECT IT, BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST PROMISED THAT IT WOULD BE SO!!!!!
