TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10
TODAY'S WORD:
Selah people' and friends I ask you today "are you living the abundant life Jesus came to give?" I'm not talking about living in the fanciest house or driving the newest car as we discussed in worship yesterday. No, His promise of abundant life goes way beyond material things that this world offers. Abundant life means "life to the full." That means no matter what is going on around you, you can partake of the full blessings of God. You can have peace in the midst of a storm or your darkest day. You can have joy when things are uncertain. You can have hope when circumstances seem hopeless. Which, many of us have felt heavy upon us recently. I have had 6 funerals of people connected to me in some way in the last two weeks.
Yesterday, in our new young adult Sunday school class at Selah we discussed the HOPE we have in Christ always today, tomorrow and in the future. My friends as believers, a lot of times however it's easy to look at that verse and think, "God is going to give me abundant life someday." But the truth is that God wants you and I to have abundant life TODAY! Did you here me? He wants you and I to have abundant life TODAY!
My brothers and sisters in the faith don't waste another second living in mediocrity or settling for less than God's best. Receive His blessings by faith today. Receive His hope, joy, strength and favor. Declare this very moment that you are living the abundant life today and every day!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus so that I can have eternal life. I know that You want the best for me. Help me to keep my heart and mind focused on You so that I can walk in Your ways all the days of my life in Jesus' name. Amen."
Your brother in Christ,
Patrick
