September 6, 2007

Good morning, the dark of night gives way to the light of day one more time in God's creation. Did you know that a lot of effort is being spent on bringing Christian servants to elected office? How about efforts to bring the study of Creation back to schoolrooms? Or the education of children in Bible camps and classes, even during the school year? Organizations have been formed to stand against the ACLU and other organizations who would love to remove any mention of God. People much like you and me stand against the works of Satan each and every day. They meet women in front of abortion clinics and offer them alternatives, they minister to prisoners and drug addicts, some work to bring the Word to the classroom. The Spirit of God moves mountains each day through the work of believers; we must never think that we are alone.

Perhaps your job does not seem glamorous, or it does not seem that you are contributing to the work of building the kingdom of Jesus on this earth. However, people watch you, noticing what a Christian does and says. Does a Christian show up at work the day after a humiliating mistake? We influence everyone around us, no matter how strong their personality seems to us. You also have a tithe from you earnings, no matter how little it seems to you. That tithe goes out in God's power, not in yours, and great things are done with our small offerings. Despair? We stand in the army of God, and there is a Savior leading us!

Read the news, find the hand of God in events, see how it grows gloriously dark and watch as Jesus saves!
