September 4 Unending Blessings Psalm 21:6
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
Unending, eternal and glorious blessings are ahead for every believer! Wow! Joy, Happiness, Blessings, and Spiritual Prosperity are ahead forever! That is what is just on the horizon for each one of us who are under the Blood of Jesus! When times get hard, and the way is truly dark and unclear, and the decisions are difficult, and the issues are overwhelming, then it is time to shift our thinking and to focus on the Promises of God! Think about it… what we experience here on earth, is not our final existence! Praise God! Difficulties will happen, and dark times will occur, but remember that this is just for a season. Eternity is going to be absolutely awesome! A dear brother in Christ, Pastor Shannon Scott once said that “for the lost person, this is as good as it gets, but for the believer, this is the worst that it gets!” Dear friends, we must be “Eternity Minded,” and we must recognize that the Truth will always be sufficient to help us move from the darkness into the Light! I am excited that this world is not my home, I am simply passing through! I pray that each of us will embrace God’s power, Joy, and Prosperity and live each day here to the fulliest, praising Him, sharing the Good News and preparing for the day when we arrive in our “Eternal” home! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
Side Observation: It appears to me that “Truth” is a rare commodity in Life & Politics in 2024. Hatred, Prejudice, Tradition, and some motivations that defy explanation are driving the political process! Left, Right, Blue, Red, it doesn’t matter. Truth is the Truth, always has been, and always will be! I was brought up with the idea that I was to work, provide for myself, and my family, and that I was to help others and to be a productive citizen in the greatest country in the history of mankind. Agree, disagree, protest, remain silent, it is entirely up to you, but I feel compelled to point out that we are at yet another crossroads in our country and in our social & Political lives. One side offers a traditional idea of patriotism, love of country and the idea of hard work will lead to prosperity, and that the individual knows what is best for themselves and their families and the exercise of this principle will make every life better. One the other side, is offered the idea that we are not capable of taking care of ourselves, therefore the government must step in to make life’s decisions for us, to dictate the way we work, and to control our every aspect of living. It has become apparent, at least in my opinion, that the majority of those who embrace this idea are also less patriotic, more hostile to Free Speech, angry and unsettled, and seem to be opposed to certain religions, especially Christianity. I have asked myself why! It dawned on me recently that Christianity has a moral foundation, based on the Truths of Almighty God, and when you are operating towards a communist, anti-God way of government, moral standards of right and wrong complicate the transition to full government control of every area of human existence. Communism, Totalitarian Controls, Socialism have been tried and each time it ultimately fails. Weak, imperfect, flawed and often confused in my journey of life, but the one fact is always center stage for me… I CHOOSE TO SERVE MY GOD, WALK IN HIS WILL, AND I AM GOING TO SPEAK OUT, SHARE HIS GOOD NEWS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO OPPOSE ANY ATTEMPT TO STIFFLE HIS AMAZING GRACE! How About You?
