John 9:4 “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”
Day one of the new year has arrived. The old year is gone and the new one has arrived.
Although it is a day that many people have off from work, it is a day that God has given us. In it, as believers, we have the privilege of honoring and worshipping Him. I hope and pray that you will start the year off right.
As the coming of our Lord draws nigh, we must always remember that there is a strong possibility that there is a time when the night will come. It could be in 2024. If it comes, it means that work for God will be very limited – if possible at all. Of course, He could also take us home to Heaven this year – what a joy that will be.
As we see more and more changes coming to America, we must realize that opportunities to serve Him are likely to be limited more and more.
God’s people need revival. It starts with choosing to be committed to do His will – are you?
Although we cannot be sure that others will follow Him, you can take steps to help ensure that you will. To ensure that you will still serve God, you need to:
- Strengthen your relationship with God now
- Stay in the Word – read it every day and study it.
- Hide the Scripture in your heart – to be strong, to defeat Satan, and to be a ready witness
- Develop a strong prayer life
- Witness often – take some people with you to glory – do not go alone! There are people in your circle of influence that no other Christian may know.
- Fellowship often with other believers – go to church regularly.
- Give faithfully to support your church that is fulfilling the Great Commission in local evangelism and missions.
Stay strong for His glory by His grace and strengthen others, too. God bless you.
