Words
of Encouragement

Last night
I had what you would call “one of those nights” in which I could not sleep. In
fact, I did not lie down in bed permanently until after 4AM. As I enter into
this afternoon I now understand why I was up late reading the Word of God,
praying and listening to others on Christian program as my soul was fed
throughout the night with “words of encouragement” and hope.
As I write
today I want to encourage all of “us” to focus on what God is doing and in the process
let us also “focus on what others positively do in our lives.” Sometimes people
can be like the “Children of Israel” whom God rescued time and time again in
the Old Testament; for we read stories of God’s goodness and the peoples
forgetfulness.
Our God is
a GOOD GOD and He supremely loves you and me. In the process, each of us is
surrounded by many people who go the extra mile to brighten our life and to
assist us in the journey. In a day and time in which people are in many
different places spiritually, it is good to be reminded that God is GOOD. It is
also profitable to be prompted to have our memory recall that many people in
our lives are in our corner.
The
Psalmist said, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the
one who takes refuge in him. (Psalm 34:8.) The New Testament reads in (I Peter
2:17a) “Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters.”
When we lie down tonight, let us go to God in prayer thankful for all
His blessings for God is good. Let us not get so distracted down here that we
forget what God is doing up there and all around us. In the process, be
thankful for the people who do wonderful things in your life. Show respect and
love as brothers and sisters in Christ.
In His Love and Service,
Pastor Johnny Sullivan
