Glorious Golden Grain Harvest

'May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist.' Galatians 6:9 (VOICE)

What is my excuse? Why do I tire of doing good? I don't like to talk to strangers. I might offend someone. I don't have the time. Let's face it, we all come short when it comes to our responsibilities as Christians to the command of benevolence.

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.

When I am tempted to place the needs of the Kingdom on the backs of others more qualified, I am convicted. If I see a need, but don't feel qualified, doesn't that make God out to be a liar? God knows my qualifications and my heart. He will not be deceived. He has given me the Holy Spirit and a measure of faith to use that power. When it comes to qualifications, we all have at least one, and some have them all. I am qualified. I am able. If I just believe.

When I am tempted to say that I don't have the time, when it comes to time, aren't we are all given the same measure? Some use their time wisely and get so much done. I should see them as a mentor and a gift and follow their example.

When I am tempted to say that I don't feel comfortable speaking to strangers, when it comes to speaking to strangers, weren't we all strangers to one another at one time? How hard is it to smile and say hello? Introductions lead to conversations. Conversations lead to so many friendships and unlimited possibilities.
 
When Paul says 'may we never', he actually means it. This is the time to sow the seeds. The world is hurting. Many are lost and can't find their way. I can't miss this life or death opportunity, for if I do, I miss what is most important, the spiritual reaping and the promises He gives me of life everlasting.

Persevering during the good works part of my Christian love journey brings promises of rewards. What an encouraging word to continue to do good and make it my life's mission to be about the Lord's work.

Don't miss the season. The fields are ready for the farmers! Those farmers that are prepared, have worked all summer on equipment maintenance and are ready for the fields. The farmers are ready to go. Go, fill the hoppers with the glorious golden grain harvest! Bring them in! Bring in the harvest, both in the spiritual and in the natural. I love harvest time. Through the sowing and the reaping of the seed God's Glory is revealed in the Son of Man!

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
