Because YOU...

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary people, but no machine can do the work of one extraordinary person. – E. Hubbard

Jonah and the repenting Ninevites. Peter on the Day of Pentecost. One powerful, spirit-filled message changed many hard hearts. Hmm!

Automation. Assembly lines, Time-motion processes, etc. These are so yesterday. Now it's AI. It's taking over in every realm possible, generating all kinds of content and possibilities. Yes, it’s true in many areas the human element has been curtailed or improved upon to benefit mankind, some good, some not so good. However, no matter how technologically advanced we become; no mechanized or computational process can change the hearts of men and women. Only God working through us can accomplish this great feat, and this happens only in relationship. So, no matter what comes our way may we be extraordinary today.

Until tomorrow…

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.” – Matthew 25:34-36

Real Victorious Marks

God will not look you over for medals, degrees, certificates, or diplomas, but for scars. – E. Hubbard

John the Baptist, a man of prayer; was affectionately known to some as 'camel knees'. Hmm!

Paul the apostle we know as one of the hardest working missionaries ever in helping to build the church.  Everything he had achieved in life he counted “loss” for Christ’s sake, yet he was proud of one thing; his marks of warfare. “Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.” Recognition is great for this world, but we must remember there is nothing we can do that will WOW God, and no credential we can earn that will IMPRESS God. The one thing we can do that will PLEASE God is to obey His will, and that may mean taking it on the ‘cheek’ a few times, or ‘kneeling’ on prayer calloused knees. Don’t worry, the VICTORY is already assured. We only need to stay in the fight.

Until Monday…..

“Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.” –Jude 3
