Strength

But David found strength in the Lord his God. (1 Samuel 30:6 NIV)


This morning's sermon was about encouragement. Finding encouragement through Christ alone. Many times we find ourselves relying on others, circumstances, or ourselves even to lift ourselves up. But there comes a day when all of us have a choice.

Where do I find my strength, my peace, my joy, my everything? It isn't though anything or anyone BUT in The Lord our God. This is easy to say but often hard to do.

Reminded this morning when life is finished, I want to have found my strength in The Lord my God.

Jonah moment

Well here as I sit this morning in Tele Viv, other wise known as Jappa, I was thinking of Jonah. As you may know, Jappa is where Jonah hopped on the boat to flee his calling from The Lord. Many times in my life I have wanted to did flee from what God wanted me to do or say or go. I remember when The Lord called us to Africa, I thought to myself I do no want to be Jonah. Whatever The Lord tells me to do, I must do it. That's obedience. But it's more difficult to say than do sometimes.

It can be from the smallest to the biggest thing. It may not be something as 'large' as moving counties but walking across the street to your neighbor or saying a nice word to a frazzled mom in he shops or anything. Saying sorry to someone. Could be anything but whatever The Lord asks of you then we must do it.

Don't have a Jonah moment where you disobey God. I will forever remember Jonah. Now seeing Jappa at the Mediterranean Sea.
