KEEP TRYING!

SPIRITUAL PASSAGE: "23 His lord said to him, ‘WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT; you have  been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into  the joy of your lord.’ - Matthew 25:23

People of God, I read a  Discipleship Journal where Paul Thigpen said and I quote: ‘I remember coming home one afternoon to discover that the kitchen I had worked so hard to clean only a few hours before, was now a terrible wreck. My young daughter had obviously been busy; cooking; and the ingredients were scattered, along with dirty bowls and utensils, across the counters and floor. I was not happy with the situation. Then, as I looked a little more closely at the mess I spied a tiny note on the table, unskillfully written and tarnished with chocolaty fingerprints. The message was short; I am making something for you signed by Angel. In the midst of that disarray, and despite my irritation, joy suddenly sprang up in my heart, sweet and pure. My attention had been redirected from the problem to the little girl I loved.

Beloved, Paul Thigpen continues and I quote; As I encountered her, reading her  brief note, I delighted in her. With her simple goodness in focus, I could take pleasure in seeing her hand at work in the situation that seemed otherwise disastrous.’ In the parable of the talents, Jesus pointed out that the two servants who invested and multiplied what had been entrusted to them received the Master’s highest commendation: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ On the other hand, the servant who buried his gifts rather than risk and lose, received the Master’s harshest condemnation: ‘…You wicked and lazy servant…’ (Matt 25:26).

Commendation or condemnation: which will you receive? God doesn’t say, ‘If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.’ No, He’s pleased when you try, make mistakes, learn from them and grow. So keep trying! You are blessed!

SOULMEAL: Ezek 24:1-27:24, Luke 2:41-52, Psalms 21, Proverbs 14:17-20.

Pray: 1. Lord I thank God for the grace to know the Truth. 2.  Lord I ask for the grace to always try my best without any discouragement 3 Lord I want you to give me strength so as to keep going in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Confession:- Lord Jesus, I receive grace to always hearken to your voice, devil I resist you and your voice from now on, I receive power to be spiritually sensitive to the things of God and I receive grace to keep trying without looking back in Jesus name.
