Encouragement

How do I encourage others?  How do I show my love for Jesus, the Lord and Master of my soul, my Savior?  In Philippians 1:9-11 Paul shows the readers that through prayer the Christian brother can support and encourage fellow believers.

Pray for the guidance of God, daily.
Pray continually, like a constant conversation. (Be the teenager on the iPhone)
Pray in generalities when specifics are hidden.
Pray with a broken needy heart (constantly examine what you want to say, think, believe)

Philippians 1:9-11 explains how to pray for others. Request

a growing love for God which reflects a growing love for others
increasing knowledge in the pathway of God
understanding the right standing with God
seeing evil for what it is and choose to follow the Good of God
being refined like the refining process of gold as we continue to wait for the return of Jesus
praising God continually with thoughts, actions, and prayers.

During this time pf enforced captivity, seek the guidance of God and ways to give Him glory, honor, and praise.

This is my Father's world

 

Where have you been?

 Have you asked that question of friends, family, classmates, the doctor, the minister, or maybe a complete stranger? BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...

Thirst after the pure Word of God

This is my Father's World And I rest me in the thought that though the wrong seems oft so strong GOD IS THE RULER YET. Depend on the Most High Creator Lord God who loves you more than human thought, words, or actions can express.  Let His love flood through your life and surround you.   Daily give your life to the control and guidance of God.
