Praise God

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

When you open yourself up to God two things happen. One is exposure to self. You see yourself for what you are which causes you to understand the need for repentance and confession. You have to make a choice to respond to that awareness. It isn’t performed by awareness alone.

The second is exposure to God. What God shows you will always have purpose. What you do with that knowledge is a matter of choice also. Is it meant just for me? Is it meant for another? Is it sound, is it real or imagined? The answer to that might come from a deep personal relationship with God. The answers might come from fellow believers.

Fellowship within the body of Christ implies a closeness and awareness of each other. We develop the ability to see each other in the natural and in the spirit. Grace is extended to the natural and praise is given to the spirit for He is God. What we share in the body which is spirit will always serve us according to God’s purpose, His will.

Did it comfort? Did it clarify? Did it exhort? Did it edify? Did it confirm? Did it give you peace? Did it set you free? Then praise God for He has touched you by touching fellow members of the one body.

You are part of something bigger than self.

  1. Wonderful message! Just think of what cooperation is needed for the body to get a bite of steak down the hatch. I may elaborate on that for Lifelines tomorrow. Bless you, my brother.

  2. Love your topic this morning…it inspired me to read again that beautiful chapter 12 of 1Corinthians….members of His body, and members of one another. Thank you brother, and thank you Lord Jesus.
