Scripture Nehemiah 13 ; Malachi 1 ; Malachi 2 ; Acts 4: 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Observation: The great things that were happening in those days! The church was growing by leaps and bounds, the apostles could not be quite about what they were witnessing and being a part of. The Sanhedrin was doing all it could to control this movement, but couldn't.
Application: If only today we were not so comfortable with our faith, our comfortable place where we sit in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings; if only we were not in such a routine of offering only a small part of what we really have been blessed with when we give, what would the Church be today?
Sometimes we have to forced into taking care of the very place where we experience the presence of God, we have to reminded of who we are and whose we are and what our resposibility is to God.
Still, God loves us and sticks by us and continues to bless us when we don't deserve it. I suppose this morning that God is patiently waiting for our eyes to be upon him again and be struck with the wonder of his love.
When it is presented in those terms it should be hard to be quite about what God is doing in one's life.
Prayer; I pray for the Body of Chirst today--that it would stop trying to tear itself apart and seek ways to come together. I pray that the focus be upon the God's Will and that the H.S. is able to break-in and take the lead. Thanks for loving me anyway, Stephen
Yieldedness: It is not about me, It is not about me,...
