Do Not Be Stale

The “Good News” letter

Sunday, 06/21/09

Hello Readers,

I have missed posting my blog for a couple of weeks now and I apologize to you and only offer the reason for this delay. My mother-in- law (Mary) living with us has had several emergencies occur and I also have had health issues arise.

Sometimes things happen in your life, that take center stage and you must put some things down to focus on the immediate situation. That is what has happened here in my family. The Lord has allowed this for several reasons; one I feel is important enough to relate to you.

We all get into routines that can dominant our lives and we do not even long for open doors of deeper and more meaningful service because we feel that we are doing our best now. When we fail to go deeper and wider in our walk with the Lord and get comfortable in our service to him and do not look beyond what service we are doing presently, we begin to get stale.

God does not want this for any of his children. Jesus came to earth and died and rose again so we could have an abundant life. He took away our sins so they do not deter us from following him and he gave us a means of riding our souls of our sins by asking him for forgiveness and repenting of our sins. We should not be held by anything this world has to offer us, but we should be living life to please our Lord God. After all, we were created for his pleasure.

So, again look to God for his direction and guidance in your life so you ARE pleasing to him and when you are pleasing to God, you are definitely going to know it as well and have his peace and joy in your life. Life is challenging and God wants us all to grow and not be stale,
So let’s look at the way we live and ask God if he is pleased with us or does he want some changes made. If you feel stale and not full of his joy and peace, there is room for change. Let God be the one who opens the door for change because he alone knows what is for our good.

If you have confidential prayer requests, please email them to: denainc@windstream.net or call 775-1954 and ask for Nancy. Your prayer request will be laid at God’s throne and the prayer that is prayed will be sent to you.
