Living in what I call the closing chapters of this ole wicked system of things
certainly presents us with many challenges to say the least.
We are all surrounded and bombarded with all sorts of ungodly goings on as well as
having to deal with the loss of loved ones, economic/financial hardships, marital
challenges, our own imperfections and all sorts of hurtful things happening inside
God's Holy Temple/Household. Do we ever need to rely on our Father, Jehovah as well
as endure to the end. IS IT EASY NO INDEED - BUT WE MUST PICK UP OUR
TORTURE STAKES, STAY FOCUSED AND RELY TOTALLY ON JEHOVAH,
AS WE HELP OTHERS. IF WE KEEP IN MIND TO GIVE RATHER THAN TO
LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN GET, PERHAPS OUR SPIRITUAL WALK WILL
BECOME JUST A LITTLE MORE TOLERABLE. REMEMBER JESUS CAME TO
MINISTER AND TO GIVE HIS SOUL A RANSOM FOR MANY...........(MT 20:28)
IF WE ARE TO FOLLOW JEHOVAH'S LOVING SON WE SHOULD WANT TO
DO THE BEST IN THAT AREA. FIND A WAY TO DO THAT AND JUST DO IT.
IT SURE AIN'T EASY IS IT :)
I found Psalms Chapter 19 from my favorite little Paper Back Bible (GOOD NEWS BIBLE) a real comfort enjoy:
God's Glory in Creation
How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done!
Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next.
No speech or words are used, no sound is heard;
yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth.
God made a home in the sky for the sun;
it comes out in the morning like a happy bridgegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race.
It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other. Nothing can hide from its heat.
The Law of the Lord
The law of the Lord is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the Lord are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it.
The laws of the Lord are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the Lord are just and give understanding to the mind.
Reverence for the Lord is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the Lord are just; they are always fair.
They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey.
They give knowledge to, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.
None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults!
Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin.
May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O Lord, my refuge and my redeemer!
Jehovah certainly gives us all we need. All he asks from us is love, in turn love will
for Jehovah and his son will motivate us to obey him. Mt 22:37-40.
