Are you? Are you ready to be a world changer? You can be! Gather your teammates, seek God and His custom made plans for custom made you. he has gathered us with like-minded servants. He is sending us into the harvest field and we all get to fulfill our parts as His Good News Delivery Company. Praise and pray into that . What's God saying to you and what will you do about that?

Upper Room: Keeping in Touch

Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near. - Hebrews 10:25 (CEB)

When I attended the 50-year reunion for my high school class, it was fun to reconnect with classmates I had not seen in decades. I chatted with two friends whom I had known since grade school. We promised to keep in touch after the reunion with monthly calls, weekly emails, and exchanging  cards. This continued for a while, but gradually contact became less frequent. Although we continue to exchange  cards, our weekly and monthly communication has diminished.

This can also happen to our connection with God.

Hebrews 10 admonishes believers to continue to worship and pray. Some members of the community to whom the letter was written had fallen out of touch. They had gotten out of the habit of regular meetings.

We can keep in touch with the Lord by gathering with other believers for regular Bible reading and study and to encourage one another. In a busy world, we don’t have to fall out of touch with our faith.

's Prayer

Dear Lord, forgive us when we do not prioritize our connection with you and with other believers. Help us to keep our focus on you and encourage one another in faith. Amen.
