Thought For Today - 1/6/09

OK, hold onto your seat. What you are about to read may or may not shock you. I grew up in what was called back then "Holiness" church. The Church denomination was called Church of God In Christ (COGIC). I heard the teaching and preaching many, many years ago that our Lord and Savior was soon to return. I know He is closer now than ever before. I don't hear many churches or believers in Christ speak of His return. Many are going about their lives as if they will live forever.

Well, I heard in my spirit during my quiet time a few days ago - the Lord is soon to return. And, it is sooner than we think. We must keep our eyes on Him in order to be ready when He returns.

Let Jesus be responsible for leading and guiding your every step. Let Him be your Lord. Let Him be your Savior. Let Him be your High Priest!

Turn your attention to the Word of God. Open your ears to what He is saying. Open your eyes to see what He is doing. Open your understanding by committing yourself to acting on what He leads you to do. Do not hold out nothing for yourself. Only let your will count for what God's plan for your life is. His will is FINAL AUTHORITY!

We must love Him. We must love His people as He loves us. We must walk in love - DAILY! Love never fails and neither will God's plan for our lives.

Do whatever you have to do in order to be ready for our Lord's return.

Much love,
Joseph
