Good Monday! I truly hope everyone had a blessed weekend! We (my wife and I) had a wonderful time both going to thrift stores and a wonderful day of worship yesterday! I feel truly "blessed and highly favored"! That's what GOD will do for you, not can but will do for you!
While looking at the Thursday night "disc. 101" material and scripture last night, I was hit with a powerful message for this week that I'll share a bit here.
I know we have all seen instances where someone had to step up and "fill" the shoes of a person that had left a great legacy. I think there is probably plenty of us that has been in that situation in our lifes, I know I have! Sure I've never had to follow a Joe Montanna or Nolan Ryan but there have been times I have felt "not up" to the task at hand. I think at times like this we must meditate on God's Word for what He would have for us! There was a time in my life when I had to follow one of the best Bible teachers I've ever heard. One day as I was praying the Lord laid this verse on my heart I would love to share with you: Joshua 1:1-5
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea [a] on the west. 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
WOW! re-read the last line again "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you" Jesus makes the same promise to "be with us always".
You see these are the challenges in life that can grow us spiritually! I love to say what doesn't kill me is bound to make me stronger, that can be true if we lean on the Lord during these challenges of life! I truly believe that's how to become better, more mature Christians! Then we are more than able,through GOD, to face any challenge- no shoes will to big to fill as long as we let GOD fill'em!
I hope anyone who reads this takes comfort in the Lord-enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! As always remember;
I love you and the Lord surely loves you!
In Him, BrianF
