The Family of God
Do you ever stop and think about how blessed we are to truly be a part of God’s Family? Sure, it’s easy to sing nice songs about it but, for me, it’s an amazing feeling. I marvel at His love for me in placing me in such a neat Family.
Have you ever met someone and in just a few moments, you forgot that you had just met and it seemed as if you’d known each other forever? Maybe you found yourself quickly worshiping and praising God together or praying together for a need. This is something people in the world don’t have and it’s one which I think we too easily take for granted.
I’ve often said I don’t know how people get through life without God but I can also tell you that it would be a lot harder to get through life without God’s people too. Scripture would not tell us to “lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees” (Hebrews 12:12) if we didn’t need to be there for others. Paul would have told the Galatians to “Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2) if he didn’t mean just that.
Every time someone offers to pray with you or every time you have the opportunity to pray with someone … every time you find someone who will take the time to encourage you and to share God’s Word with you, thank God for that. Our family is so much larger than our relatives. God knows who to put in our lives right when we need them. Take a minute to thank God for blessing you with the Brothers and Sisters that He has.
