“Following Jesus and Loving People”
I felt this past Sunday’s services really blessed and encouraged a lot of people! The focus on “The Next Generation”, along with the baptism of eight people at Resurrection Life lifted our hearts. We were also challenged greatly by Pastor Wegner’s message on the words of Jeremiah and reminded of how we need to exercise patience through difficult times. As we seek God and work hard to spread the Good News, we are seeing some good fruit! We must also remember, that our steps forward will be challenged by the enemy. Satan doesn’t relinquish control easily. As I was reading Psalm 18 today, I reminisced on the life of David (who wrote this). David spent many years eluding his enemies, including the insanely jealous King Saul. David praises God for his faithfulness and victories, even though he had to endure many trials and difficulties. Breakthrough for David only came after he consistently trusted God and kept his life clean. He wrote, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge” v. 2. The Lord will do his part by always being strong and faithful. We must also seek to live faithful to him. David said later, “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not done evil by turning from my God” v20-21. David was not claiming sinless perfection, but was making the statement that he loved God enough to keep himself away from evil. It’s hard to trust God when we are in bondage to sinful habits. The enemy wants to stop the Gospel from spreading by submerging God’s people in guilt and condemnation. We certainly don’t trust in our “goodness” but living right gives us a boldness and confidence to exercise faith in God. No matter what comes our way, our God will bring us through. In the end we will be able to say, as David, “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior” v46!
