Let
Me Say First
That
I Thank My God Through Jesus Christ
For
All Of You
Scripture
Romans
1
8 Let
me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you,
because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.
Observation
Two
of yesterday's big events that dominated most the most news coverage
were the Royal Wedding and the winning of the Preakness horse race by
a horse named Justify.
I
am intrigued with a good love story, so yes, I did listen for a few
minutes as bishop Michael Curry delivered his message to the bride
and groom.
Mike
Smith's first words after winning the Kentucky Derby and now winning
the Preakness were these, “"I
just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing us on
this afternoon, and blessing us with this amazing horse."
Bishop
Michael Curry said, “Someone
once said that Jesus began the most revolutionary movement in human
history. A movement grounded in the unconditional love of God for the
world ...”
Have
you noticed that God has a way of getting His message to shine
through no matter whether it is a Royal wedding, a horse race, or a
football game, God will make a way for people to be confronted with
the Good News that Jesus Christ loves them and He has a plan for
their lives.
As
I think of these two men Rev. Michael Curry and Mike Smith and their
verbal witness yesterday Romans 1:16 comes to my mind, “For
I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of
God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also
the Gentile.”
Let's
not be ashamed to share our faith … who knows what life, what
person may be changed forever!
Application
I
will share my faith boldly every chance I get. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, give me the boldness of the Apostle Paul to share my faith.
Don't let me shrink back. Don't let me be afraid. Help me to live my
life in a way that doesn't contradict the message of the Gospel.
Thank You for the privilege of being called one of Your children.
Lord, bless the person who may be reading this blog this morning.
Meet the deep needs of his or her life. Show them that they can
totally trust in You.
