WORK IN ME WHAT'S PLEASING TO YOU, LORD!!!

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 New King James Version
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and [a]establish you in every good word and work.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!Well, we’re closing out 2023, and starting on 2024, and I can't help but really be especially grateful for everything that God has been doing not just in our lives, but in my families as well. That despite all the nerve-wracking things that have taken place with my family this year, my Heavenly Father, has never stopped being there for my mom and my family, and that's something I'm very grateful for. I am especially full of gratitude for how God has been there for Ricky and I this year, not just with the identity theft that happened, but for how God really came through for me when I was in the hospital and had to have that emergency surgery. These are things that I am very grateful for, and I pray that you have things to be grateful for from 2023 as well.

There's something about this morning's passage of scripture, that really got me to thinking about how I want others to see me. How I want to be known as first and foremost a follower of Christ. I want to be known as someone who truly followed the Lord with all her heart, and that I lived out the faith I say I had. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional were especially challenging to me, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge you through these questions too.

For what Christ like attributes would you like to be known?

Tonight, my friends, I’d like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to want Christ to work His perfect will and way in you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how God can and WILL work in you what's pleasing to Him! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with this last question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to never be afraid to live out the faith that you say you have.

How can you encourage others to seek God's righteousness?

I encourage you to start living out the faith that you say you have, allow God to actively grow the fruit of righteousness in your hearts, because it will take a lifetime for all of it to fully come to fruition. Yes, we're gonna stumble and fall in this journey, but when we choose to look forward and not backwards, keeping our eyes set on God, we will be established and strengthened in Him, and we will be in that wonderful city that is to come, where God's righteousness will reign.

UNTIL MONDAY, OR NEXT YEAR, GANG:

HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
