OCTOBER 22 & 23, 2022 – Was It Worth It To Them

OCTOBER 22 & 23, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 53-58 / 1 Thess. 3-4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 9:23-24 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Being present at the birth of all my children, I can say as an eyewitness there is true pain in childbirth. No Ladies, I am not saying I know what it feels like, nor do I want to. However, I can tell you what it looks like. NOT GOOD! Yet, when this miracle of God’s grace is placed in the arms of a mother who just went through this pain, there is also real joy. Did it make the pain less real? NO, it just somehow seemed worth it.

    Paul here is telling the church; I am suffering real pain. He said in verse 4 I told you this would happen. Yet in today’s verses it says when I look at what you have become in Christ, it is all worth it. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Which made me wonder, when the person who led us to the Lord or brought us to Church looks at us, does our life tell them all they endured may be worth it?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
