Refreshing rest in your company. Spending
time with Christian friends—soulmates in the Lord—is truly revitalizing and
energizing. I personally deeply enjoy—almost covet—that time that I can spend
with those special friends—whether we work on a project, walk, exercise,
worship, pray, study, eat together, play games or just visit. Paul talks about finding joy and rest—coming
to see his Christian brothers in God’s will. Do you arrange your schedule—your time—so
that you get to spend time with Christian friends? Or at least some time
praying for them? Prayer is a powerful force—it changes hearts and lives. It is
exhilarating to see the Lord working in the life of a family member, a friend,
or neighbor—or yourself. What has God done in your life…recently, this week, or
today? Don’t live by what God did for you ten years ago. Identify what He is
doing right now. He miraculously healed and gave a quick recovery in the past
three months to a neighbor who had a stroke. I prayed. God was on a tall ladder
with me just a couple of days ago painting the eaves of a friend’s house—no fear--well not much fear.
He helped me hold my tongue when I was upset with someone yesterday. That was a
big thing! God is good. How do you see God working in your life?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—by Your love may my Christian friends find refreshing rest and
the joy of the Lord as they fellowship with You and with each other. Show us
ways that You are working in our lives to touch others and draw them into a
relationship with Jesus.
