October 8, 2006

Good Morning! Hallelujah, praise the name of God forevermore! What challenges we face each and every day; why even getting up in the morning is a challenge. Yet in Jesus we overcome many obstacles on a daily basis. Everywhere you look in the media there will be someone telling you to do more of this, that, or the other thing. We are continually challenged as Christians, but once in a while we all need to hear a “Good job!” Today, I decided to do just that. Every day you get up to do something; whether it is five days or more of working, going to church, cleaning house, feeding a family, volunteer work, and many other demands on your time and energy. If you have never suffered a serious illness or traumatic injury, you may not realize just how much energy and effort it takes to go through a single work day. We should all thank the Lord for the strength we have to carry on each day and give each other a ‘good job!’ for getting the job done each day. Today, I thank God for giving us the strength to carry on, and thank you to each of you for doing your job, earning a living, feeding your family, and glorifying the name of God. In Christ we gain the strength to do that job that we do, but Jesus doesn’t drag us out of bed, he says to “follow me” and that requires us to put in our own effort in his great work. A commendation to each of you for getting up and doing those things each day that God has given you the task of getting done. You deserve it.

Praise the name of Jesus!
