Spirit Life Fellowship Church

It is pleasing to me to see the hand of the Lord at work in our lives, all our lives, and the wisdom that He has given man to invent some this day’s instruments. It really amazes me, and finding time to use most of the day’s inventions is not really hard for most people. What’s really hard for them is to find time to read His Word, or maybe to witness, or hey -- how about praying? Or fasting, seeking His face? Or how about something that is really rewarding to do, more than these games the world has gotten caught up in – Playstation, Wii, Xbox and others.

But with my four year old grandson, what really blesses me the most is to talk to him. Instead of talking about this game or that game, he tells me of this fish or that fish he has caught and sometimes of Jesus, or heaven where Jesus is. Sometimes he sings me a “Jesus song” as he calls them. To me these are important things, more than games, more than material contents. It’s about seeking the Lord’s face and not His hand; coming into His presence; reading His Word to see how one should live and teach our children to live in all His ways.

It is so sad to see the world in the shape it is in and it will only wax worse. But if we keep our eyes on Jesus and run this race to the end, He and Heaven shall be our reward. But if we faint or can’t let go of the things of the world, we shall surely die. What is death? What is life? To live your life in misery and in sickness, with no blessing to look forward to at all would be death to me. But to die a sinner without ever knowing the Lord Jesus and all He had done to save you from sin and death and hell would be sudden death. No overtime in that type of death – so sad.

Now you hear how times a ending and His appearing is at hand,
But in sin you stand a doubting he could ever be your friend,
But His grace is all sufficient, this you just can’t understand,
All your sins can be forgiven by the blood of this one man.
So to know Jesus, and to walk with Him, and let Him be your guide,
To love on Him with praise and prayer and worship,
To die then my friends would be gain,
Because then, my friends, all heaven shall be your reward.

These aren’t just words – they are a way of life we’re asked to live for the glory of the Lord. So with all that is within us, let us live according to His Word and will. God bless you!
