Do Good


Instructions to the rich

The apostle Paul wrote instructions to Timothy in his first epistle; that Timothy was to say to the rich of that time that they should “do good” to help others less fortunate [First Timothy 6: 17-19.] But, giving, or sharing isn’t restricted only to those who are financially well-off. We are all rich by other measures. We can all give something using our gifts of God -- as we have been given. There are many people who suffer; especially during Christmas. Our love and kindness are priceless gifts.

Sometimes a simple act of kindness shown to a stranger in the parking lot, the mall, or at the super market can bless that person beyond all understanding – a simple act out of love could be something that stranger won’t receive from another living person this Christmas – sad, but true!

Patience and understanding are huge “gifts” we can give each other all year long. We don’t have to wait until Christmas. Giving of our gifts cost us nothing, and usually it is the giver who gets the greatest blessing. [Hebrews 13:1, 2] says, “Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.” I do believe this is true!

You are someone’s special gift!

All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

In Heaven

We will experience a sense of perfect joy There will also be perfect peace and fulfillment because of the divine presence of God. Our worship of the Father will be without distraction. Forever and ever we will concentrate our worship only on Him; our loving, caring God who is, and was, and forever will be our Creator and Sustainer. Never will we experience exhaustion as we serve and interact with Him on a very personal level. “And His servants shall serve Him” (Revelation 22:3). In Revelation it is revealed we will govern with Christ and rule over all that is brought under His dominion. “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall rule forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). And it is written; “And they [his servants] shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:5). Ours will be a perfect fellowship like that of the Father and the Son. “That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they may also be ...
