A Christian Journey
If you are new to the faith or someone who is coming back after a long break, I want to encourage you to take a moment and think about exactly what it is that brought you to where you are today with Jesus Christ. We know that Salvation comes through Jesus, we know that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the Father except through Him. Yet, after salvation is it game over? Is our life now a boring mess of just waiting here on earth for our final breath, and then to enter into paradise? May it never be! Salvation is only the first step in an exciting adventure that the Lord wishes to take with us. It is why His book details such an adventure and how we are to interact during this time. His guidance for us as we move forward on our quest to serve Him, and yet learn more about the abundant life that God has given us. Today’s post is simple but important; more people today are becoming saved than any other time in human history, and yet they do not know where to start this amazing journey. If I may be so bold, I have a prayer you should ask the Lord. This prayer comes from Psalms 25:4-5. This is my personal aspiration and my reason for getting up each and every day.
Psalms 25:4-5 “4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. 5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.”
Let this be your battle cry each and every morning when you wake up. Ask Him before each meal and before you go about your day to be a part of your journey. When you ask this, you will understand just as much as I have, how real our God is. He cares so much for us that He will show us His ways, He will teach us what to do, He will lead us in truth and teach us why Jesus is our salvation, and finally He will teach us to be expecting and eagerly waiting for His return.
When we bring our life into the right perspective, we can realize how this life is meant to be.
Psalms 25:8-10 “8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. 9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.”
Unlike religions of this world, those who are born again believers in Jesus Christ have a very real and intimate relationship with Jesus; we just need to know how to recognize this truth. This is one reason why Mill House Ministries was created, so that we could share what we are learning from God with you all out there. We want to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as salvation for our sins, but also as our living hope for this world right now. So remember, if you are struggling to know what God is doing in your life, if your life looks boring and resembles complacent Christianity, I encourage you to seek the Lord and pray Psalm 25:4-5 and see how verse 8-10 is revealed.
Hold until relieved, our Blessed Hope is coming,
