Good Tuesday morning as the students head back into school after Easter break. Here is an interesting verse: "And [Joshua] said to them, 'You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.' " (Joshua 22:2) The context of the verse is the return of the eastern tribes to their land beyond the river Jordan after helping the other Israelites in a lengthy war. Joshua blessed them for not leaving their brothers. We can learn from that a lesson in faith, as in keeping faith with our fellow soldiers in this fight.
The world dumps a lot of bad things on us. This cursed earth not only brings forth a lot of stickers, but a lot of sickness and grief as well. Humans go out of their way to hurt and kill each other, and of course we have the accidental things that come along in life. We need each other, and keeping faith with our brothers and sisters in Christ is of particular importance in our suffering. Is this always easy? No, it is not. We each suffer, and sometimes that gets in the way of our being there for our brothers. How important then becomes the promise of Christ to NEVER leave us or forsake us? We need each other, but we need our Lord Jesus more.
Now, to remember that the bad things come and go, while my Lord is always here with me! Have a great day in Christ and with Christ!
