LIVING FOR JESUS IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES

Scripture:   1 Corinthians 15:10 "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me"

     It is the good grace of God that has saved us and made us what we are.  Without Him we would be nothing.  If we are to live a life in these days that depicts the grace that He has bestowed upon us, then we must do something about the way we live.
    As a born again believer, we need to get our hearts right with God and keep our hearts right with God!  We need to confess those things before Him that we know to be sin and ask Him to forgive us and cleanse us.  We need to cleanse our way.  That means simply to get the things out of your life that shouldn’t be there.  Don’t allow sinful things to abide in your heart! Daily check our hearts!  Make sure that we stay right with God day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute!
    We also need to get our minds on Jesus.  Set our minds on things above.  Don’t allow yourself to get so worldly minded that you are no heavenly good. God has a plan for your life. Think about what He wants you to do. Set your thoughts on His will for your life.  Allow your mind to think on spiritual things during the day!  Our minds will determine how effective we will be in the service of the Lord.
    Then, knowing His plan for our lives, we need to get busy for the Lord. We have a job to do, telling others about the saving grace of our blessed Lord!  Let’s get busy!  We need to be busy studying the Word of God!  Reading and studying to be more useful in the work of the Lord.  We need to get busy praying!  Praying for His strength and His power in our lives.  Praying for the harvest that He has called us into! Praying for the Lord to use us for His glory!
