10/10/26 A TIME TO PRAISE
A Challenge for "Church Going" folks.
What new (or at least fresh) vision do you have for your own relationship with Jesus. I am not referring to private, personal issues in your private life. I am referring to God's leading, encouraging, enlightening you concerning your walk with Jesus, your service to God and others, your growth in grace and knowledge.
This is not calling for a self-oriented brag session on yourself. This is an invitation to brag, boast in Jesus and His grace and His faithfulness and His ongoing work in your life.
It is good to praise Him for His nature and His works.
It is also good to testify and report to the world (believers and unbelievers) His continuing work of transformation and enabling and direction.
We all need (personally and corporately) to hear about God's presence, and His present work in the life of believers.
We need to be among those believers who are lifting up praise, thanksgiving, and an up-to-date witness of His indwelling grace and glory and how He is currently leading us in victory, joy, peace, love, service to others.If you don't have this ongoing leading and growth taking place in your life, then the Challenge is, Repent, Seek God, Follow the Holy Spirit.
When our walk with Jesus is a present reality of growth and victory, we are blessed, other Christians are blessed, the backslider is convicted, the lost are enlightened.
Be a blessing, not a burden; a help, not a hindrance; a stepping-stone, not a stumbling block.
