A Way Forward

Image
Bible Reading - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “ Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus ” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) In God, there is always a way forward. Whatever you are facing, there is a place of rest and peace. A door that can bring joy, even when there is so much evil around. A thankful heart towards God drives away all the negativity, worry and envy. On the other hand, if we dwell on negativity, we soon discover the world becomes a darker place. Worry grows when we focus on what could go wrong, and we don’t see other options. Envy arises when we begin to be more concerned about others’ blessing that ours. It is too easy to fall into one of those traps. We must resist following the path of negativity, worry and envy. We find God’s blessing when we grow closer to God and become more like Jesus. It may seem impossible right now; however, the way of the Lord is one that is walked one step at the time. A life of thankfulnes...

SUDDEN TURNS

Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers … And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah … and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon … And Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.  (Matthew 1:2a, 6b, 11, 16) Have you ever had a sudden turn in your life? You’re expecting things to go on as normal, and suddenly something shocking happens and you find yourself on an entirely new road. Jesus’ ancestry is full of such turns. Abraham was a childless man who became the father of a nation; Judah was a fourth son who inherited his father’s blessing after his older brothers’ crimes. Salmon was a leader who married a Canaanite prostitute; their son Boaz married a poor foreign girl, Ruth, and became the great- grandfather of King David. David was a shepherd who replaced a disastrous king. If David had s...

Caring For Our Needs

And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the Child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.  (Luke 1:35-38) It’s interesting how Gabriel just volunteers that information about Mary’s cousin and her miracle pregnancy. Mary didn’t ask God for a sign—but she got one, nevertheless. She got more than that—she got a pretty strong hint on what her next steps should be. Elizabeth is pregnant? Why, what a great time to visit! As a strong young woman, Mary would be able to help Elizabeth around the house during the difficult last months of pregnancy. She herself would have a safe place to s...
