Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Do you ever feel like you do all these good things for God and you don’t get as much as the people around you? I know there have been times when I have felt that, but it is not true.

We have the good things of this world, which are what we tend to focus on most of the time. Then we have the good spiritual things which we can actively seek.

But then we have the eternal things which we cannot know of, but which we know we are going to get.

Trust that God is doing what is righteous and our rewards will be eternal!

2 Thessalonians 2:14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Despite there being all those people around us who can teach us about Christ, we also have the task of sharing the gospel with others.

It may well be the story we tell someone about Christ which gets them to ask the right questions and finally accept Christ into their own lives.

God has put us all here as a cohesive church to work together for His glory and for His good – let us do that and keep more people coming in to hear the gospel in our churches.

2 Thessalonians 2:5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?

How quickly do you disregard the things others tell you? How about the words which you were taught at church on Sunday; have you forgotten already?

We need to take in the teachings which come from God and keep them close to our hearts – meditate on them so we do keep them close.

God has given us many people around us who are willing to teach us the truth – why keep choosing to follow the lies just to get out of doing things?

Isaiah 24:5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant.

What is it which makes this world so bad or evil? It is the people who live on it and not the creator who created it!

God gave mankind the laws to live by, and we went ahead and chose our own ways of doing things anyway!

Our free will is not corrupt. We do have the choice to follow God and do His will. It is our hearts and minds which have been corrupted and continue to choose badly.

Who started the ball rolling on that front? The evil one. Why continue to follow evil?
