When is the Last TIme?

I was wondering today, when is the last time?

You might be wondering "the last time what?"

Well let's see:

When is the last time you took time to listen to the Holy Spirit's leading?

When is the last time you spoke a kind word to someone you disagreed with and meant it because you know it is just right?

When is the last time you shared Jesus Christ with some or shared your own personal testimony of the joy of your salvation?

When is the last time you stopped to pray for someone who crossed your mind?

When is the last time you were certain you did the will of God?

When is the last time you volunteered in your place of Worship to assist in Ministry?

When is the last time you had an insignificant reason for missing Worship?

When is the last time you studied the Word and prayed?

When is the last time you said you were sorry, when you know you were wrong?

When was the last time you apologized even though you were right?

just wondering when was the last time you.....?

Every Once in a While

As I reflect on the importance of the Christian Community to walk in the Word of God, every once in a while, I wonder whether we truly trust God. Is it only when God is blessing us that we are excited? Is it only when things are good that we are willing to offer to God the praise He is due?

Every once in a while, I think we should just stop, reflect on as many good things God has done for us so that we do not get into the bad habit of forgetting to lavish praise on the Lord, and to be a blessing to others. The Bible says that we should bless and not curse those who despitefully use us or hurt us, bless and not curse. Sometimes in our humanness we want to avenge our hurt, but the Bible says that it is God who will avenge His children. It is our job to walk with God and obey every command, not just those that are easy for us.

Every once in a while, I wonder whether we reflect on our own actions in light of Jesus Christ, not in light of our feelings, or our own beliefs. God's Word is the "lamp unto my feet." I hope that on this day we allow our lives to reflect the walk with God that reflects the light of God in our every word and action.
