Inspiration: Do No Worry
Do not worry because it "does not add one cubit" to our lives. |
Dr. Martin
R. De Haan said that worry is a sin. It is caused by lack of faith, a failure
to believe God’s word. Yet, it is a sin that many Christians find hard to
overcome. Today, meditate to stop and think of the things that you have worried
about. We tend to be filled with anxiety over what might happen but never does.
So, why worry? Jesus said that it’s futile to fret for worry can’t change
anything (Matt. 6:27). We need to remember that our heavenly Father knows all
about our situation and watches over us (vv. 28-34). We can be sure that He
will take care of our needs no matter what tomorrow brings. It’s better
therefore to be wise and trust the Lord. Remember, worry never solved a
problem! Indeed, Jesus taught us not “worry about tomorrow… Sufficient for the
day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34).

Inspiration: Living Life to the Fullest
The only
life that’s worthwhile—be it long or short—is the one spent in service for the
Lord and in bringing blessings to others. Indeed, what matters is not long we
live, but how well we live. It is better to add life to our years than years to
our lives. “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecc. 12:1)
Great Preachers
The greatest
sermons that I have ever heard were not preached from pulpits but from
sickbeds. The deepest thoughts of God’s words have often been taught by those
humble souls who have gone through the seminary of affliction.
The most
cheerful people I have met, with few exceptions, have been those who’ve had the
least sunshine and the most pain and suffering in their lives. The most
grateful people I have ever known were not those who have traveled a pathway of
roses all their lives, but those who were confined in their homes, some on
their beds, and had learned to depend on God.
The gripers,
on the other hand, are usually those who have the least to complain about. The men
and women who are the most cheerful and the most grateful for the blessings of
the Almighty God are often those who have gone through the greatest trials.
James tells
us “The testing of your faith produces patience,” (James 1:3)so if we are
suffering, let us not be disheartened , because as Peter (1 Peter 1:7) puts it,
everything is all worth it.

On Trusting Him
Because we are prone to drifting away from Him, the Lord must discipline
us to get us back to the right course (Heb. 12:9-11), although sometimes it
seems as if God allows circumstances into our lives that are harming us and are
without sense of plan. But take heed, let us set our "mind on thins above,
not on things on the earth," (Col. 3:2) because they are God's loving way
of drawing us closer to Him.

Calm Amidst the Storm
When we are
battered by the storms of life, we may look tempted to give in to feelings of
hopelessness. Be if we look to God and commit our way to Him, we will find
peace even in the midst of turmoil. We can trust Him to bring us through the
storm. Indeed, God may calm the storm around us, but more often He’ll come the
storm within us. Thus, “commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He
shall it bring it pass.” (Psalm 37:5)
God Cares
Where God guides, He
provides. So instead of worrying what's ahead of us, we can trust the Lord to
be there to care for us. Indeed, "The Lord preserves all who love
Him," (Psalm 145:20) because he is "righteous in all His ways,
gracious in all His works." (Psalm 145:17).

Today's Inspiration: Greatest is He Who Serves
“Whoever desires to become
great among you, let him be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26)
Greatest is he who serves |
This story tells best how one of
history’s greatest leaders served a model of humble servitude. A noncommissioned officer was directing the repairs of a
military building during the American Revolution. He was barking orders to the
soldiers under his command, trying to get them to raise a heavy wooden beam.
As the men struggled in vain to lift the beam into place, a
man who was passing by stopped to ask the one in charge why he wasn’t helping
the men. With all the pomp of an emperor, the soldier responded, “Sir, I am a
corporal!”
“You are, are you?” replied the passerby, “I was not aware
of that.” Taking off his hat and bowing, he said, “I ask your pardon,
Corporal.” Then the stranger walked over and helped the soldiers lift the heavy
beam. After the job was finished, he said, “Mr. Corporal, when you have another
such job, and have not enough men, send for your Commander in Chief, and I will
come and help you a second time.” The corporal was thunderstruck. The person
speaking to him was General Washington!
God measures greatness by service. The Lord Jesus has set an
example, for though He was God and worthy of all honor, He “did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28).
Indeed, Henry Bosch said, “To be great
in God’s sight, we must serve!”
Princesses in Their Own Right
In the history of Great Britain, there were only five female-line princess. Read more about them at Royal Splendor.
“I called on the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and
set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.” (Psalm 188:
5-6)
Amidst the disaster brought about by the recent
8.7-magnitude earthquake that struck our brothers and sisters in Indonesia, let
us pray for God’s deliverance and guidance to all inflicted and in pain right
now.
