Edification for Today (11/27/24)

Grace and peace to the Ekklesia, those who love Christ and follow Him!

1 Peter 2:21 
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

I like how it says, follow His steps.  If you've ever lived in a snowy climate you know that when it gets deep it can be hard to walk in, so the person in front of you breaks the way open and you step right inside their steps which makes your trek much easier.  It doesn't mean it isn't still difficult but the one ahead has a much harder time, just as our Savior who went before us...

2 Corinthians 5:21 
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

He made the way for us and he left a path (just like walking in the snow, you see the path of the footsteps before you) for us to follow AND He helps us along the way!

Hebrews 13:5-6 
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

As we travel, I ponder how they had to travel in times past and how easy we have it today, then on the other hand I think about how complicated it is today compared to what they had.  Give and take on both sides but we just keep going along in the days we live, making the best of it all to glorify the Lord!  Speaking of, we're always thankful to safely arrive at our destination.

We have a new message on our gospel van...

We pulled off to take a break and I went into the store to get something and was very thankful to see a big sidewalk to safely go through the parking lot. 

That's rare and something to greatly rejoice over:-)  I've mentioned before that parking lots are dangerous because people don't watch and they fly through areas the wrong way etc.  It's such a busy world we live in, it can be wearing on a person but we endure without fainting!

Galatians 6:9 
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

I pray you are striving to please our Savior in all you do.
Love in Christ,
