Thanksgiving 22

When you were growing up did anyone ever stand behind you and ask you to fall backwards into their awaiting arms?  I don’t remember anyone ever asking me to do that.  I have done that for others, as I remember.  I would not do that today for nothing.  I don’t have the physical strength to catch someone and it would take Sampson of old to catch me like that.

I was thinking about the fourteen year old boy who asked Jesus to save him recently.  I thought about how this boy had been in Church before and heard sermon after sermon.  Why this particular Sunday?  I came to me that he had come to the place where he saw that Jesus could be trusted.  We say that he “trusted Christ as his Saviour”.  Well, there you go.

We live in a day that it is hard to find people who you can trust.  Listen to what the Scripture says in II Samuel 22:31, “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.”  Then again it is repeated nearly word for word in Psalm 18:30, “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.”  The important question is have you trusted Jesus Christ to be your Saviour?  Make that decision today before it is too late.

So, how are you doing?
