I really enjoy our Wednesday night worship, coming together with people who love you, care about you and want to study the Bible. I am uplifted and encouraged so much by everyone. I really don’t understand why people choose not to participate.
Last night in our midweek Bible study, Harry Bob read an article with these facts. “If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. If you attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.”
Are you serious? It seems to me we spend most of our time complaining about what we don’t have instead of giving thanks for what we do have. We should hold our head high, thank God for the blessings we enjoy everyday and for the people in our lives.
Stop attacking the faith of other people and work on strengthening your own. In Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said there are two commandments; “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” It’s time to stop trying to make our selves feel better by putting down or attacking someone else. Every night before we go to bed pray this prayer, “Thank you God for all the blessings I enjoy in this life and forgive me; a sinner.”
