SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 08-02-03
My
Worship Time Focus: Greeting of the
leaders
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 13:24
Message
of the verse: “24 Greet all of your
leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.” (NASB)
“Give greetings to all your leaders and to the other believers
there. The Christians from Italy send
you their greetings.” (NLT)
The writer of Hebrews is telling all
of his readers that they are to greet their Christian leaders and each of the
other believers in their local church.
If you greet someone that means that you are probably on good speaking
terms with that person and that you are not holding any grudges against
them. This is and important part of the
Christian life, that is to be on good speaking terms with all believers. It is not necessary to be in complete
agreement with all believers about every subject, but it is important to have
unity with them.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: I would
have to say that it is difficult to be in good standing with every believer
that you know at all times, and it is impossible without the Holy Spirit
working in the lives of all believers. I,
as a believer must be willing to submit to the Spirit of God and to others in
order to have a good relationship with them.
The Word of God proved to be challenging to my heart, and
convicting too as I read it this morning.
My
Steps of Faith Today: First
I would like to thank the Lord for the good reports that are coming in about
the investments that have been up in the air for the last four months. It seems that the Lord is working these
things out so that we will get the return of our funds, along with many others
who have been invested with Andrew Lech.
I have been trying to let the Lord handle this storm that He has seen
fit to send my way, and I want to continue to do this even now.
