We need to ask ourselves if our service to God is selfish or selfless. So many of us need to have some sort of self pleasing attribute to our serving or giving. If we don’t “feel” anything then we don’t do anything. We even choose our church by what they have to offer us. Not by what we might can offer them. Use what God has given you to serve and be obedient to Him and you will not have time to think about what you “feel”.
Remember, it isn’t about YOU; it is about serving others through your obedience to Him. We exist to bring glory to God .
Just saying…..

Every day we have a decision to make on which direction we will go. We can choose to remain in our safe abode of the known letting the fear of the unknown stagnate us or we can choose to rest in the promise of God. When you compare anything which may cause us to doubt or fear to the greatness of God and His power, we would have to feel a little childish in our faith don’t you think?
As born again believers of Christ, God has promised us life to the fullest. We only need to decide to get up and take hold of it.
Fear is a normal human behavior, however it is not given to us by God. As 2 Timothy 1:7 states “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”
I believe God has created within each one of us a purpose to claim for their own. We must succumb to follow His guidance and be obedient to His call. I am in awe of the enormous things that God can accomplish through even one small act of one’s obedience.
Fear has held many people back from fulfilling their purpose and retrieving their blessings. Don’t let fear hold you back – trust in God!
Jesus admonishes against fear in these verses:
Matthew 10:26-31
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
If we keep our focus on Christ and the things that are unseen, we should be more able to Take our Stand for Christ and Follow Him in obedience.
Thank you all for taking time to read and listen to the study. May we all grow closer in our walk with Christ. Striving daily to become the person who reflects the God who calls us to himself.

I hope all is well as we draw closer to this upcoming celebration of Christmas Day. It is a been a crazy world these past months, but rest in the knowledge that we can have blessed assurance that everything is in control of God and He will bring all things to completion in His timing. May we all truly Glorify God from hearts of understanding that He who came to earth as a baby is the same He who reigns on High today!
I am posting the second bible study. Please remember that it is intended for the purpose of drawing us a little closer to God in our daily walk. In a very informal and technically amature way.
