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!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

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...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
