Putting God First - All Mighty

Hebrews 6:10
“For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other believers, as you still do.”

One Sunday my pastor said an interesting thing in his sermon. He said “God is all mighty, He will not be put down by anybody, any business, or any country.” That is not an exact quote but it is what I heard. God is ALL mighty and as we serve Him we need to always remember that. He is bigger and stronger than anything we may be facing right now, no matter how impossible the situation may seem. God is bigger than work issues, than life issues, than death issues, than government issues. Do you believe that? If you do it should change how you approach everything in your life. The ministry I work in has many real enemies. People who hate us and what we do. People who want to destroy us. Really, that is not an exaggeration. But based on God being all mighty we...fear not.

The verse above reminded me of the high calling it is to work in ministry. God is not unjust. Think on that. God is NOT unjust. My enemies will have to stand before God some day just as I will. It is then and only then that I believe things of this earth that do not make sense to me will be made perfectly clear. Until that time; remain faithful, work hard, and love others as God first loved you.

Father God,
Thank you that you are not UNJUST. Thank you that you are ALL mighty. Thank you Lord that you will never forget how hard each of us works for you. Help me to always show how much I love you by caring for the other believers you put in my life. Help me to remember, as you do, how hard everyone is working for you. Help me to remember to say “thank you” more often. AMEN
