Don’t miss out on the joy in the Journey

 Don’t miss out on the joy in the Journey

 

God wants us to walk in joy every step of the way.  Sadly, for many of us, we allow our joy to be stolen from us through improper vision/focus.  For some it is seeing what is out there and because we don’t have all of it right now, we are miserable.  We miss out on the joy and victories of what is happening right now because we don’t have, fully, what has been promised.  Like the child who can’t wait to grow up who misses out on the joy of childhood because the want to have and do what adults have and do. Then there are those who never progress into what has been promised because they don’t want to leave the familiar.  They don’t go for the joy that was set before them. They have gotten so used to being a child that they never want to grow into the joy of adulthood.  

We need to have a clear vision/focus and to walk in the joy of the right now as we are progressing into possessing what God has given to us already that we have yet to possess.

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
