Hello Soldiers, followers of Jesus, friends, and family,
3 notes today....
1. "Marching Orders" came out Friday and we have been given orders to remain in charge of the Homer Corps another year. God is Good! We are believing God that this will be a year of growth like none this corps has seen before.
2. Today is "Mother's Day" so honor those who birthed you, raised you, or were a "spiritual mother" to you in some way. Call, write, or email them a letter of thank you and encouragement today. Ladies, if you have children of your own - train them up to love and serve the Lord and to lead others to Jesus. If you don't have any kids of your own - adopt a corps (church) kid, or a neighbor, or some young one you can influence for Jesus today.
3. A scripture thought for today. We read in scripture that Jesus was teaching and the following occured in Luke 11:27-28 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He (Jesus) replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
Not to take anything away from the blessed position of Mary who was chosen to be an instrument for God to use in bringing God's Son to physical life on earth, but Jesus reminds us that it is just as blessed to be one who hears God's Word and who obeys it, for they too become an equally important vessel for God to use, and to show Himself to the world even still today.
Live holy, preach Jesus!
