Servant of God

You know who you are


I have seen you on the streets, in the market, and at your place of business. I have seen you at the clinic, the music store, at the car wash, the court house. You waited on me at the restaurant; you smiled at me when I paid my light bill. You wished me "have a good day!" when you took my shopping basket for me in the parking lot, I watched you help that old man get out of his chair. I saw you hug that little crying child; remember when you picked up that candy wrapper in the hallway at church? Servant of God; you know who you are. You don’t make a fuss about it – you’re always willing to lend a hand. How about the time I was depressed and you gave me encouragement? Remember when I tried to cut you off in traffic and you offered to let me in? And, how about when I heard you praying this morning for your brother’s friend?


Servant of God, I read all about you in Isaiah 42; how you will not shout or cry out in the streets. How a bruised reed you will not break. I also read in Isaiah how the Lord has called you in righteousness. How He told you He would take hold of your hand, and keep you and make you to be a covenant for His people. You, servant of God, “will” open the eyes of the blind, and free the captives! It's what you do.


The Lord shares His plans with you servant of God for He says; “I am the Lord; that is My name! See, the former things have taken place, and now new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you” [Isaiah 42:8, 9]. He blesses you with involvement in His work.


Servant of God, it is in you He places His trust. He depends on you, and you are always there for Him, that’s why He calls you servant. I know I don’t have to tell you all this, servant of God; you know who you are!

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
