WHAT’S THAT MEAN

It shouldn’t be Greek to the Christian.

Psalm 1:1-3, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Many Christians do the bare minimum to get by. They show up for Sunday morning service and the rest of the week they are MIA. They’re not reading their Bible, studying a Biblical topic, coming to Sunday Evening or heaven forbid they show up on a Wednesday. Then they wonder why they are so anemic when it comes to the things of the Lord. They wonder why their kids have gone the way of the world.

Hey friend, you don’t have to learn Greek to understand the Bible! All you have to be is a student of the Word! Get in it! Dig deep! Learn about Who Jesus is, what He has done for you, and what Heaven going to be like! It’s worth it when you see the victories in your life! Then you won’t be wondering when the pastor is preaching on Sunday morning, “What’s that mean???”

WHY ME

            Often a question is asked wrong. Ask it a different way and you have your answer.

Matthew 5:45, That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

            You have heard the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Well, first off, the Bible says, there are none that doeth good, no not one. So, actually there isn’t anyone that is good or does good within themselves. It is only when we are in Christ and do things through Christ that they can be classified as good.

            Secondly, instead of asking, “Why me?”, ask “Why not me?” For when you think of your situation as if God allowed you to come to this point, it takes on a whole new perspective. By faith, you can face what you’re up against with the help of Jesus!

            Have you been wondering around asking, Why did I get the diagnosis of cancer? Why did my mom die, Lord? Why can’t I get a better paying job? Why doesn’t anyone love me? Why, why, why???”

            Friend, stop asking, “Why Me?” Ask “why not you” and it won’t be long before you find your answer! God may be leading you into this valley in order for your spouse, child, Mom, or Dad to be saved. You may be the help your Christian brother or sister needs. God is bringing you through this trial for His honor and glory and your good.
