Read Luke 19:20-27
SOAP Luke 19:23-24, 26
The servant did not really expect the king to come back. He was not at all concerned with the king's return so he did not bother with the king's business. This describes the attitude of many believers today. We live as if Christ will not return or as if he doesn't even exist. As believers, our job is the same - to spread God's Word throughout the world. The more we are faithful to do this work, the more responsibility we will be given. God uses those that stay busy fulfilling His purpose. I pray that I will faithfully work to advance God's kingdom.

ReplyDeleteToday our soap scripture is getting me especially after the other night at church when ask for a testimony of Jesus and I sat back and let fear of speaking up in a crowd control me. I don’t want to hide away anything because of fear. I must remind myself that most of the disciples, who set the world on fire with the Word of God, were not educated or seem to be able to offer God a lot, but they blew the kingdom of darkness away with their boldness for the gospel. So when fear asks “who are you to do anything” then once again I must answer, “Susie, a child of God” He took a bad mouth; bad attitude kid that lived a life filled with drugs and violence and set me on a path of freedom. For now, I speak up in simple words and that say Jesus is the greatest thing that has ever happen to me and His love fills me completely, I’m so thankful and want to spend the rest of my life glorifying Him. Jesus has given us a job to go out and save the lost and if I let fear control in one small area of my life it will control me in others. Nothing bothers me more than wasted opportunities so I pray for another time that I might give Him glory because like the sign says that I have “Fear is a liar”.
Paul said it the best… “But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” (Acts 20:24 NLT)
You are so right that fear IS a liar. I hope we can all live by how God defines us.
