WHAT CAN UNMAKE YOU?


Interesting question isn’t it. Herbert Ager once said “If you don’t make up your mind, your unmade mind will unmake you.” Was he talking about our lack of willingness to give ourselves this day to God? Was he speaking to the things that I have not decided that I am sure will go against His desire for me?
The one thing we must be sure of in our lives is our willingness to be God’s witness in this world today. He needs so many more of His children to stand up for what is right. He needs us to move from our indecision to action. Without this movement, children can be lost in the darkness of this world, and homes destroyed. What will you decide?
I love the words that we find in Joshua: “...but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) What would a decision like this mean to you? What would it mean for your family and fellow workers?
Do you fear that you might not have the strength to become this witness to others? If so, then another scripture that will bring strength to you this day is found in this word from Jesus: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness...." (2 Cor. 12:9). So you see, it is not your weakness that will unmake you, it is the lack of willingness to even try to show God's love in your life that gives you trouble.

Mid-week Prayer


Loving God, accept my willingness to change and allow me to find the glory of following you as the greatest decision of my life. I pray this in the holy name of Christ. Amen.

This has been Rev. Jim Massey. Be strong and bold for God today and you will be amazed at the new found blessing in your life. Join me again next week for another mid-week Epistle.
