The message for the beloved Children of God is - Alone !

The message for the beloved Children of God is - Alone !
 
Read 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Watch, stand fast in the faith, be men, be strong. Let all your things be done with love. Take heart, and be of good courage, and know that God is always with you, your never alone. Whatever you do for others, always do it with love in your heart, for this is the will of God. God will send someone to help you, so, be strong and of good courage, God will not forsake you. Read Psalm 23:3-4, He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Sometimes it may feel like we are standing alone, but the children of God are never alone, God is always with us. The bible tells us about some men and women that had to endure persecution, they had to one day or another stand alone. God is calling you to develop your spiritual muscles, because one day you may have to stand alone for your testimony for Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Following the crowd is not always the best way to go. In the word of God it says, the crowd is often wrong, and the one who stands and trust Christ will have the victory. Let us look at the story of David, he went out alone to meet the giant Goliath. David's situation seemed hopeless, yet he won because the Lord was with him. He desired to honor the God of the Bible, and shut the mouth of Goliath who was mocking the Lord and intimidating the whole army of Israel. Look at Joseph, he was thrown into a pit by his brothers. He was all alone, rejected, and sold as a slave into Egypt. Also, He was thrown into prison.  Nevertheless, Joseph continued to honor the Lord and eventually God exalted him to the second highest position in Egypt and used him to save his family from starvation. Lets look at the story of Moses, he had a chance to enjoy all the riches of Egypt, but he chose to reject them. Moses, He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He was greatly used by God to lead Israel out of Egyptian bondage. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward with God. Let us stand on the word of God, ask the Lord to transform your mind. Heavenly Father, we ask you to transform us to one who refuses to compromise and conform to the things of this world. You have allow the peer pressure and obstacles we face to mold our lives, build our character, and make us stronger and encourage in you Lord. Help us to rise above any situation that comes to overtake us, so that we can develop our spiritual minds , and be prepare for what lies ahead of us. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
