Sunday May 21
5th Sunday After Easter
Bible Reading: John 16: 5 - 22
Topic: It Is To Your Advantage
In life we must be ready
to endure some level of discomfort in the present, in order to enjoy comfort in
the future.
The disciples had become
comfortable with the presence and involvement of Jesus in their lives, but
Jesus announced to them that it was necessary for Him to return to His Father
in order that the Holy Ghost might come.
If Jesus stayed, He would
be only in one place at a time; but His Spirit would be everywhere at the same
time.
The disciples had to
recognize therefore that growth and maturity come with sacrifice which involves
willingness to step out of our comfort zone.
God knows the best for
you.
Be sensitive to the
leading of His Spirit.
Desire progress but don't
reject the change that brings it.
Yes, you may be in an
uncomfortable situation now, but God uses it to work out His purposes for your
life. Never lose sight of God's interest in your life.
See every stage of your
life experience as training for higher responsibility, trust and elevation.
"And we know that all
things work together for good to those who love God, to those that are called
according to His purpose" (Rom. 8: 28)
Prayer:
God help me to make Your
Will my ultimate choice in life, Amen
Memory Verse: John 16: 16
"A little while and ye
shall not see me; and again a little while and ye shall see me; because I go to
My Father"
