The way we view our circumstances have a great effect on our emotions and wellbeing. If we choose to be thankful, we will experience great joy and peace. If we choose to worry about our lack, we will have anxiety and feel disheartened. Choose to be “Thankful in spite of…”
Encouragement is like oxygen in the life of the church. It keeps us serving, giving, and teaching all those good stuff in the body of Christ the church.
Let’s Be like Barnabas “sons and daughters of encouragement”, a much-needed attribute today in these times of uncertainty.
We are all dependent on each other or as Mr. Donne said, “no man is an island.” Today it was him, it could be me tomorrow.
We are living in unprecedented times. Times that require a different level of faith if we are to remain committed as believers, get answers to our prayers, and live with less anxiety. The level of faith that leads to receiving all the promises God made to us in his word. We need Kingdom Faith!
As believers when we offer support, we can do it monetarily, but we can also tug on the hem of God’s garment in prayer for those who just don’t have the words.
Christians are taught in the Word of God that faith is NOT sacrificing the future promises of God for the present or immediate and short-lived pleasures of this world.
Walking by Faith and not by sight is an ideal way to develop faith, as muscles are developed through exercise so is faith.
We are pressed on every side but through faith in God, we will overcome. God alone has the solutions to the problems with plague us.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
