Wednesday's Inspiration

I trust that you are sensing the presence of God in your life this week. We face many adversaries that seek to interfere with our recognition of God at work in our lives. We can become so overwhelmed with "living" that we fail to take time to recognize that God is at work in our lives. That is one of the benefits of your church family. We can remind each other of the goodness of God and we can bring comfort to one another as we walk the challenging road of our life. It is a blessing to know that someone cares and that someone is praying for us. It is also a blessing to be the person who shares their love, care and concern with our fellow pilgrims on this journey of life. 

The inspiration and direction of the Spirit placed these wonderful words in the heart of the Apostle Paul. We receive from God and then we share what God has shared with us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (NKJV)

Daily life will provide us with many opportunities to invest in the lives of other people. This investment will either be a negative one or a positive one. Our journey of life with either leave a trail that has produced a positive impact or it will leave a trail that has left a negative impact. I certainly understand that no one of us are perfect but we can strive to be a person of influence that encourages people to be glad that we are a part of their lives. Jesus called us to be salt and light that will bear witness of His goodness and bear witness of His presence in our lives. I encourage you to reach for that goal today and see what type of opportunities that God will place in your life. NOTE: Many of us will see this opportunity in our own home today. Let us seek to excel in that area of our life!!!
