Good Morning …! Praise
The Lord …!
Today’s meditation is
taken from Hebrews 10:25 "Some
people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship. But we must not do
that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that
the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer."
Most of the people had
this question, why do we go to church? What benefit is there in attending
church regularly?
A Church going person
wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no
sense to go to church every Sunday.
He wrote: "I've gone for 30 years now, and in that
time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can't
remember a single one of them. So, I
think I'm wasting my time, the
preachers and priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all".
This started a real
controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column.
Much to the delight of
the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:"I've been married for 30 years
now. In that time my wife has cooked
some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of
me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do
know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my
work. If my wife had not given me these
meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I
would be spiritually dead today!
The Bible says "Some
have gotten out of the habit. We should not do that. We should keep on
encouraging each other." The church is an encouraging place. We all need
encouragement. Life is hard. Life is difficult. We all run into various kinds
of challenges; health problems, financial issues, conflict within our families.
We have an opportunity to encourage one another and that is part of what church
is about. Sunday service is where fellowship begins. Being in classes, groups
and serving is where you get to know people on a deeper level. But it starts on
Sunday; the launching point to fellowship and community is in church services.
Every Sunday that you come, there are going to be people who are looking for
you, wondering if you're there. People will miss you. And the longer and more
consistently you come, the more you will be missed. Because the more that you
are in church, the more you are involved, the more people miss you and notice
that you're not around. It is a marvelous thing to be a part of a local church
it is like having a much larger family.
Remember, the church
is an encouraging place. We all need encouragement to grow spiritually and
physically .
Let’s take time to thank
God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment … Amen !
GOD BLESS YOU …!
