This is my notes for our New Years Eve service. Let the Lord speak to you and fill in between the thoughts. (Psa
16:11 NKJV) You will
show me the path of life; In Your presence is
fullness of joy; At Your right hand are
pleasures forevermore. Are we
walking the path of life? Or are we allowing life to lead us down a path of labor, heartache and sorrow. Samson: (My pet squirrel) Eats, sleeps and plays in his cage.
Totally dependent on his master. (1Co
6:19 NKJV) Or do you
not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you
are not your own? What if we
quit living exclusively for ourselves, but rather began to look to others. (Eph
2:10 NKJV) For we
are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them. Fireworks: Created for one purpose, to assist
other in celebrating. Bringing a smile to their faces as they look up into the
heavens. All of this while completely giving everything in a bang! One purpose, one goal, commited to live life for others. “Do more than belong:
participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more
than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.” ― William Arthur Ward I pray that for you and myself, we would take this year and live it to the fullest. And when we've accomplished God's purpose we'll go out with a BANG! |
