Encouragement for Godly Examples
Last night I had the blessing of attending a Gospel Singing Caravan concert, featuring the Blackwood Brothers, the LeFevre Quartet and the Chuck Wagon Gang. I will be writing a review soon but, as I watched Jimmy and Billy Blackwood, Mike LeFevre, Shaye Smith and some of the others who are continuing on the heritage they were raised in, I was thinking what a blessing it was to see men and women who have been faithful to God for so many years. These are people I can follow because they are following Christ. I don’t put people on pedestals since I know that those are hard for humans to stay on but I want to watch and learn from those who have walked with Christ longer than I have. I want to connect with those that I will be spending eternity with.
As I get older, I understand more of the need for young people to have people they can look up to, and I want to be one of those examples. I pray that I will always reflect Jesus so that I don’t cause anyone to stumble but that I will lead them into the Promised Land. Thank you to those who live the Christian life before us which encourages us that we can make it. I know you get tired and weary at times but your efforts are not in vain. Your life is noticed more than you know. May God richly bless you as you continue to shine for Him.
