I would encourage you with this: while the storm rages, and the wind, rain, or waves pound the boat of your daily life, hold fast. Ask yourself when things are hard and you are veering off the rails, “Who cut in on you?” When you identify it, give it to Christ, get back on the rails and run that race with Christ to Glory!
If the sky is bright, say “Thank you, Jesus!” If the sky is dark, say “Thank you, Jesus!” You’ve got redemptive work to do today, so let God worry about the sky. You go in the power of His Spirit and in that power help someone say “Thank you, Jesus!”
Pastor Whit reflects on the significance of campmeeting songs, particularly “In My Heart There Rings A Melody,” which reminds him of his grandfather and God’s gift of salvation. The song, like Psalm 40:3, speaks of a new song of praise placed in the heart by God, symbolizing the transformative power of Christ’s love.
My challenge to you today is to “please stay on trail” when it comes to your faith. May the grace of God bend our minds and thoughts toward Him so that we may have life in Jesus Christ. May we REJECT thoughts on destructive things and ways of living that lead to death, and choose instead what God has clearly laid out in His word. That is how we stay on the trail.
Sometimes God shows you things, important things. I could say a million things, but all I can say that really matters is that I’ll never forget their eyes. I always tell people one of the best and most meaningful reasons to travel the world is to see Jesus in the eyes of other people.
Like a duck with his tail in the air, plunge the bill of your faith in Jesus deep into the water and feed on the goodness that God gives to those who trust in Him.
