The Bible says Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. God accomplishes miracles through the work of a few people! When we see needs within our church or community, we come together to start new ministries. We begin with a few people and often feel overwhelmed by the task ahead. Let us remember the twelve disciples, only twelve to share the Gospel with nations! They trusted God with the task at hand, and we see their success before us right now! When it looks like we don't have enough help, let us remember how God moved mountains with only twelve disciples. All we must do is trust His plan.

The Bible says Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Salvation is the most precious gift we will ever receive. Sin entangles us, and we are repeat offenders. We do not understand why God has chosen to love us or have mercy on our souls; His grace and compassion humble us. Each morning we turn to the Lord in prayer, asking for repentance, and by evening we have unintentionally committed the same offense. Only God's love is mighty and merciful enough to continue to forgive our sinful nature and remove our transgressions.

The Bible says But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. God extends unearned grace to us consistently. We hold our heads high as we attempt to live a Christian lifestyle, forsaking the sinful nature we despise. Unfortunately, we stumble daily. We covet others' belongings as we scroll through social media, and we allow bitterness a stronghold when we don't get our way. We must strip away our egos and bare our souls to the Lord with honesty and humility. He will continue to grant grace when we repent with genuine hearts.

The Bible says Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: No one enjoys making mistakes, or worse, having to admit it. We unintentionally think highly of ourselves, especially when attempting to walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness. We make excuses for our actions or blame someone else when we sin. Humility is essential as we come to the Lord for repentance. We must be honest and admit to our wrongdoings, and we do this by understanding we are not perfect.

The Bible says Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. Everyone has a story or hidden struggle, making it essential for us to seek ways to encourage one another. Evil and sorrow fill the world, and we remain alert for opportunities to lift one another out of miry pits of despair. We rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment when speaking to one another. People do not wear spiritual wounds on the outside, so we rely on Him to direct us in our words and actions. Our faith allows us to show God's love to those who struggle with sorrow or depression.

The Bible says And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Love is powerful; yet fragile, and we must handle it with care. Love protects marriages when life struggles erupt; it's the glue that holds families together when experiencing financial woes or the loss of loved ones. God loves us unconditionally; by the power of His love, our salvation is secure. We had instances when it was challenging to love one another. In those moments, we consider how diligently Christ loved us as He died for our sins on Calvary, and we remember our commitment to love one another as He loves us.

The Bible says And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. God presented Adam with the honor of tending to the Garden of Eden; He also assigns us meaningful tasks throughout our earthly lives. Those tasks include ministering and providing for others. We are His most precious creation so taking care of one another is a significant obligation. We want to be diligent and dependable as we teach others about Christ and care for their physical and spiritual needs. We are honored, as children of God, to devote our efforts to others.

The Bible says And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. We can't imagine the work and planning God devoted as He created this beautiful world. On the seventh day, God rested. After putting forth a hard day's labor, we are also encouraged to rest. Our earthly bodies need time to restore themselves and rejuvenate, so we return to work physically and mentally refreshed. Rest allows us to remain alert and ready to put forth the best effort in our work, school, or home environment.

10/30/2024

The Bible says And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; We put our best foot forward when completing any endeavor. Whether it be work, school, or other social events, we are to give our best instead of slacking off. Most importantly, we must work with a cheerful heart. God is all-knowing and recognizes our resentful, reluctant emotions right away. Actions speak volumes, and we want to reflect God's character in each activity, even when our obligations are tedious. When we commit our time or energy to someone, we will follow through with eagerness and a moralistic work ethic.

The Bible says Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; Scripture addresses our work ethic, and we must pay attention! Often, we are frustrated with our employment situation due to minimal wages paid or work atmosphere. We disagree with our employer's decision-making or the tasks we are assigned. God is present in each moment. He sees our actions and hears each thought. We will put our best effort forward by showing reverence instead of working the bare minimum with disrespectful hearts.
