Encourage

It never ceases to amaze me how much a positive word can help. Not all or even many have to be directed of course towards me. Just a statement of general thankfulness, an openness of sharing about struggles, a positive outcome to a tricky situation. All these can be seen, when viewed properly as encouraging. It's a common issue to feel isolated, and that you are facing unique, unsurmountable problems, encouragement reminds you that you're not the only one. King David's psalm are this, his ups and downs with God, his struggles and his triumphs Today, Dear Reader, be like David and be honest about your life, you never know when you may encourage another in their walk.

Bigger

Dear Reader, I need to be bigger than myself. As a follower of the Carpenter, I must look beyond what is perceived as best for me, and choose what is best for Jesus. Sometimes these choices will look the same, others, my actions will be radically against my perceived self-interest. Astute readers will note my phrasing. For ultimately, as a follower of Christ, his best choice IS my best choice, I just may need to surrender to that. In a world which tells us, have it your way. Do your own thing. Play as you want. A message which sets itself in opposition to that rhetoric can be challenging to emulate. Yet try we must. Seeing every choice we make in light of the Kingdom of God. Time, finances, relationships, resources both physical and mental. These and many other parts of our life need to be considered in light of the wider context of a Christian walk. Simply put, if we are children in the kingdom, we need to think, and therefore act, bigger!

While we should seek to maintain our doctrine, to be so very specific that we refuse to listen to anything which may contradict it, I feel is self defeating. In our internet age, we are able to sift through the myriad church's which exist, all claiming to serving the same God, but proclaiming very differing theology. Once the initial sort has taken place, often people moved to fine detail, "last day's" being a common bugbear for many. Yet in this sifting, a question does not seem to be being asked!, Where would God have me serve? The church body exists to support fellow believers, but primarily to honour God and to give His bride, the church, opportunity to serve His will. Are we willing, God call me to where you desire me to serve you, rather than what I think benefits me? Are we willing to grow?
