AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. ( JOSHUA 24:15 *NIV )
As a child of GOD, we are to strive to become as much like CHRIST as we can possibly be. Remember that CHRIST came as a Servant, not as a Great King, and Serving others is an important way of becoming more like JESUS!
After all our Savior JESUS CHRIST said: “FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.” ( MARK 10:45 )
Therefore we should also, BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENT AND THE LAW THAT MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD GAVE YOU: TO HOLD FAST TO HIM AND TO SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. ( JOSHUA 22:5 )
Now, we may do that by sharing our love with each other, and by Serving our Heavenly Father as well. Some Serve GOD by teaching Sunday School, others by helping people who are in need! After all, there are many ways to Serve our Heavenly Father.
Therefore why not volunteer to help others when the need arises, SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD AS A REWARD. IT IS THE LORD CHRIST YOU ARE SERVING. Amen. ( COLOSSIANS 3:24 )

BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF MERCIES AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3 *NKJV )
GOD is our comforter when troubles hit our life. For HE is the one: WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATION, THAT WE MAY COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE COMFORT WITH WHICH WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED BY GOD. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:4 )
After all it is written: THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. ( PSALM 23:4 )
Indeed, HE comforts those who turn to HIM, and HE even tells us to, “BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE, DO NOT FEAR NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM; FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES WITH YOU. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.” ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So, remember the words of our Savior JESUS CHRIST, for HE said: “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU BELIEVE IN GOD; BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.” ( JOHN 14:1 )
Now, BRETHREN MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT! AMEN. ( GALATIANS 6:18 )
Just as a shepherd will protect his sheep

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME. AND I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NEITHER SHALL ANYONE SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. ( JOHN 10:27-28 *NKJV )
Now just as a shepherd will protect his sheep, Jesus will protect us from Eternal harm. Even though we may suffer here on Earth from the devil’s temptations, satan cannot harm our souls or take away our Eternal Life with God in Heaven.
While there are many reasons to be fearful here on this Earth: BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 ) It is through Jesus that we are given Eternal safety. For: THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE; HE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE LIFE. ( 1 JOHN 5:11-12 )
So my friend, always remember: THE LORD ALMIGHTY IS WITH US; THE GOD OF JACOB IS OUR FORTRESS. ( PSALM 46:7 ) Therefore: WHY SHOULD I FEAR WHEN EVIL DAYS COME, WHEN WICKED DECEIVERS SURROUND ME? ( PSALM 49:5 ) For: THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION–WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? ( PSALM 27:1 )
Now, may: THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU. AMEN. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
Patience is a virtue

REST IN THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM. ( PSALM 37:7 *NKJV )
In this World today patience is hard to find. After all, we have become accustomed to instant everything, from TV dinners to instant mail via computer. Thus patience has almost become a lost art today!
It is important to remember that patience is a virtue. So whatever you try to accomplish, do it with hard work and patience. For true accomplishments do not occur easily or instantly! For it is written: DO NOT BECOME SLUGGISH, BUT IMITATE THOSE WHO THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES. ( HEBREWS 6:12 )
So, always put your trust in the Lord, work hard, and have patience. For the only place where “success” comes before “work” is in Webster’s Dictionary! Also remember that through the patience of many a great man or woman, truly wonderful things have been developed to improve our lives today!
Therefore, MAY THE GOD OF PATIENCE AND COMFORT GRANT YOU TO BE LIKE MINDED TOWARD ONE ANOTHER, ACCORDING TO CHRIST JESUS, THAT YOU MAY WITH ONE MIND AND ONE MOUTH GLORIFY THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. And, MAY THE LORD DIRECT YOUR HEART INTO THE LOVE OF GOD AND INTO THE PATIENCE OF CHRIST, and may you have a great Tuesday as well. Amen. ( ROMANS 15:5-6 ) & ( 2 THES 3:4-5 )
The just shall live by faith.

NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. HEBREWS 11:1 *NKJV
Our Heavenly Father gives everyone of us faith for it is written: GOD HAS DEALT TO EACH ONE A MEASURE OF FAITH. ( ROMANS 12:3 ) However we must add to our given faith, and we can because FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. ROMANS 10:17
The Apostle Paul wrote: I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN, ‘THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.’” ( ROMANS 1:17 )
Therefore, it is important that: WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT, ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 ) trusting with all of our heart, that our Heavenly Father will help us when we face a problem in our lives! Remember it is written that: WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. So; HAVE FAITH IN THE LORD YOUR GOD AND YOU WILL BE UPHELD; HAVE FAITH IN HIS PROPHETS AND YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL as well. Amen. ( HEBREWS 11:6 ) ( 2 CHRONICLES 20:20 )
