Mid-Week Update

                                                                            September 11, 2024

​

             Mid-Week Update! Hello My Friends! I hope that you are enjoying the late summer warm weather! However, the nights are growing cooler, the days are becoming shorter, and the reality of our changing season will be soon upon us. This is a beautiful time to live in Northern Michigan.

​

             Paul provides this thought for us in Hebrews 13: 15-16, “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” (NIV) Our God has provided us with so many gifts and blessings that our first response each and every day should be one of praise. How can we praise our Lord and Savior? First, we can worship, study God’s Word, pray, and devote time to considering our walk with the Lord. In our daily travels when we see or experience a “God Moment”, lift up praise and thanksgiving for the opportunity of witnessing God’s presence. And as the scripture indicates, “do good and share with others.”  When we do good or share with others, we should then share the reason for our concern for the welfare of people around us. When we do the deed, share the name of Jesus. The love of Christ provides the motivation of our service. When we acknowledge Jesus, He receives the glory and the person may then consider their relationship with God. God reveals God’s self all around us and we have many opportunities to touch the lives of others; therefore, let us open our eyes, witness His presence, serve in love for our neighbor, and lift Him up with the praise that He deserves.

​

May God Bless You!
