From the Pastor’s Desk
Have you ever gone to the refrigerator in search of something to eat and all you had in there was a stick of butter? You just wanted something to take care of that hungry gnawing going on inside of your stomach and so you thought if only I could get a bite of that butter, I would be fine. Probably not!Because butter all by itself doesn’t taste all that good, neither does flour, or salt or baking soda, or most of our cooking ingredients as far as that goes. I’ve watched quite a few cooking shows and I would see how those master chefs gather all those different ingredients together and would blend them together just right and heat them for the proper time. The result is something wonderful. Well, they may be master cooks but I know a real Master Chef and he is the GOD of my LIFE.
I even read his cookbook and it said in Romans 8:28 – And we know that God Causes All things to work together for good to those who love God, to who are called according to His purpose. But most people only quote the first half of the verse. All things work together for good, and the problem is that all things do not work together for good. The things that work together for good are those things in connection with those people who love God and are called according to His purpose. Only when you are living according to His purpose rather than your own will He cause all the things in your life to blend together for your good and His glory. When you are committed to Him and seeking His purpose, He will mix all of the things in your life, the sweet and the bitter, and turn them into something wonderful and divine for His kingdom.
WISHING YOU ALL A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR AND LETTING GOD BE THE MASTER CHEF OF YOUR LIFE.
SIXTY-SECOND REFLECTION
“A Fresh Start, A New Beginning”
It’s never too late to serve the Lord. He is patient and long-suffering and He did everything He could do for You at Calvary. (John 3:16)
The ball is in YOUR court now. Let old things pass away, allow all things to become new.
Choose you this day whom you will serve because tomorrow is not promised to you.
Start this New Year off on the right foot.
REPENT – CONFESS – SURRENDER Say GOODBYE to the Old and Hallelujah to the New. (1 Corinthians 5:17)
