November 17 “EMPOWER ME, LORD” Isaiah 58:8
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 58:8)
Amazingly and miraculously, my physical body is in a continuous state of change. Every cell is constantly changing, rejuvenating, and restoring. When I think of the age-related aches and pains, and the level of activity that I subject my body to, on any given day, I am amazed at the Divine Design of my human body! There is always new life that is expanding within me, and I know that my body is renewing and restoring, even though I may not recognize it. As I grow in HIS Grace and Knowledge, I am aware of the Blessing of God’s Divine Touch upon our bodies and our need to recognize HIS Power, Presence, and sustaining Love. I heard a dear lady say something that triggered my desire to recognize the Good and dismiss the Bad. She said, “When I am feeling a bit less that whole, and things feel wrong, I quickly remember that which is right about me and count my blessings and refuse to accept the wrong!” Wow! What a beautiful sermon! God’s Grace, God’s Sustaining Power, God’s Divine Providence is constantly renewing me and restoring me and strengthening me, and He is actively engaged in our well-being, so that we can continue to be BOLD and EFFECTIVE WITNESSES for HIS GRACE and LOVE! I am claiming the Promise…. “Your Light shall break forth like the dawn, and Your healing shall spring up quickly!” Focus on the BLESSINGS, not the BURDENS! May Your ATTITUDE be one of GRATITUDE, not GRUMBLING! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
