Today our church was blessed with many visitors and we also had evangelist Neil Smith preaching. It's always a great blessing to have lots of people at church but we need to remember that we didn't bring them in, rather the Lord did and He brought them for His will, not ours. It still brings us a great blessing though!
We had another great song service and learnt a scripture song from Romans and also sang In Christ Alone! We don't always sound 'beautiful' but each week the Lord keeps us faithful to Him by helping us through each song and giving us a great blessing out of it.
Neil Smith's message was titled 'Measure Your Days' and he focused on Psalm 39. This message was mainly a reminder that our days on this earth are numbered and we need to use them wisely and not take them for granted. Neil reminded us that when we don't know which way to head that we need to just keep moving along as the Lord can always change your path. He can't turn something around that's not moving.
He also taught us that we cannot go through life without God as our best effort is nothing but vanity. Ask the Lord what He wants you to do with your life and don't compare yourself to other people and what they are doing. Remember 'other's may, you may not'. Just because your not rich, have a great job, run a business, have the best car, doesn't mean you don't have a great and worthwhile life. The Lord directs what you need and do.
Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
During the week remember t pray for one another and also pray for Ps Simon and Jan's safe return home from PNG! We're really looking forward to having them back again! Also keep praying for the Lord's will in your life as the best place to be in close to the Lord!
