Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear as I come to my daily River I thirst for the Lord "Why"?


"The Lord your God is in your midst,

A victorious warrior.

He will exult over you with joy,

He will be quiet in His love,

He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zechariah 3:17

 

"As I stand here by my daily river, I am reminded of the Serendipitous Thoughts I have, "there was Jesus". His words speak to me of coming to the river everyday with a thirst for the Lord. But why do we come to the river? Why do we seek the Lord?

 

For many of us, we come to the river to find peace and tranquility. We come to escape the chaos and noise of the world around us. We come to find a quiet place where we can hear the voice of God.

 

But there is another reason why we come to the river. We come to quench our thirst for the Lord. We come to drink deeply of the living water that only He can provide. We come to be refreshed and renewed in our faith.

 

So, as we gather here today by the river, let us remember why we come. Let us come with a thirst for the Lord, ready to drink deeply of the living water that only He can provide. And 

let us be refreshed and renewed in our faith, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.

 

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

 

Today, I "Sugar Bear "want to share with you about thinking like a warrior for Jesus Christ with the strength of God in our daily lives. Our lives as Christians are filled with challenges and battles. We face spiritual warfare every day, and we must be prepared to fight the good fight. But we are not alone in this fight, for we have the strength of God with us.

 

In 1 Corinthians 16:13, the Apostle Paul exhorts us to, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." This is a call to think like warriors for Jesus Christ. We are called to be courageous and strong in our faith, and we must be prepared to face the challenges that come our way.

 

To help us think like warriors for Jesus Christ, I want to share with you three antidote stories based on daily reminders that we must always keep in mind.

 

First, we must focus on only the things we have total control over: our effort and attitude. In Philippians 4:13, Paul says, "I can do all things through him who gives me strength." We must remember that God is with us in everything we do, and we must put our trust in Him.

 

One example of this is the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. David faced a giant that no one else was willing 

to face. He had no control over the size or strength of his opponent, but he knew that he had total control over his effort and attitude. David put his trust in God and defeated Goliath with a single stone.

 

We must also have the same attitude in our daily lives. We may face challenges that seem insurmountable, but we must trust in God and focus on our effort and attitude. When we do this, we will be able to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

 

Second, we must love what we do "volunteering" services and attack each day with joy and enthusiasm. In Colossians 3:23-24, Paul says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward."

 

One example of this is the story of Mother Teresa. She devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor in India. She loved what she did, and she attacked each day with joy and enthusiasm. She saw her work as a calling from God and approached it with a deep sense of purpose.

 

We must have the same attitude in our daily lives. We must love what we do and approach it with joy and enthusiasm. Whether we are serving in our church, volunteering in our community, or working in our jobs, we must see our work as a calling from God and approach it with a deep sense of purpose.

Third, we must dream big and ignore the naysayers. In Matthew 19:26, Jesus says, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." We must remember that nothing is impossible with God, and we must dream big and have faith in Him.

 

One example of this is the story of Wilma Rudolph. She was born prematurely and suffered from polio as a child. Doctors told her that she would never walk again, but she refused to accept their diagnosis. She dreamed big and worked hard, and eventually became a world-class sprinter, winning three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics.

 

We must have the same attitude in our daily lives. We must dream big and have faith in God. We must ignore the naysayers and the voices that tell us we cannot achieve our dreams. With God, all things are possible, and we must trust!

 

In conclusion, a Desire for spiritual fulfillment and guidance! Is my "Why"

"God bless you and this ministry" is a powerful and meaningful expression of support for those doing God's work. It recognizes their dedication and efforts, and acknowledges the importance of God's presence and provision in their work. May we always remember to bless and encourage those who are committed to serving others in His name So brothers and sisters 

 

God Bless You and This Ministry!
