God Will Use You Despite Your Brokenness!
Thursday, April 21, 2022
Meeting each day with faith, worship, and prayer.
Life is hard sometimes and we're reminded in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 that difficult times will come.
We can be brought to places of deep grief, sorrow, and pain.
As we grow in Christ, we know we can trust Him as we go through each season.
We can choose to meet our highest and lowest points of life in worship unto The Lord and faith in Him.
He is The One Who sustains us and He is the healer of our hearts, minds, and souls.
Read, study, and take to heart 1 Peter 5:7 Psalm 34:1-4, Romans 8:18, Romans 5:3–4, James 1:12, John 16:33, Isaiah 43:2, Psalm 23:4.
Then may you consider turning to Him in faith, worship, and prayer no matter what you face each day because you know He is with you!
You're in my prayers.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

You Were Created And Set Free To Serve!
"God looks at us and says, “I know what you can be. You don’t know it yet, but I know. I know what I can make you into. You’ll be a mighty man of God. You’ll be a mighty woman of God.” -Greg Laurie
Friend, You are His workmanship and He has uniquely created you with a specific purpose, will, and plan for you in mind. Through His free gift of salvation you've been set free from the bondage of sin and have been given a new life in Christ.
He did this because He loves you with a perfect and eternal love!
Pause for a moment and let these truths sink in.
This speaks volumes to me because He not only saved us but thought exactly what He created us to do according to His purpose, will, and plan! We're unique in Him and made by and for Him! We are set apart by and for Him!
With this in mind, have you considered that you can and should freely serve Him and that you've been called to do so?
We don't serve to somehow "continue to earn our salvation" rather, we serve out of love for Him and thanksgiving for all He's done for us.
Please note that serving isn't just for "The professionals" as in the paid and volunteer pastors and staff...no..serving is for ALL of us!
So, what's holding you back from serving the Lord?
Let's pray for one another that we get off of our seats and really live to be His Hands and Feet for His kingdom and glory!
Please read and study Ephesians 2:10 (ESV),James 2:14-18 (ESV), and 1 Samuel 12:24 (ESV) for encouragement from God's Word and then walk in the work He's call you to do.
Your Brother and Servant In Christ,
Randolph Koch

Reject Perfection...Strive for Holiness Instead!
This may have also infiltrated our regular day-to-day existence at times as we try to achieve a standard that's not attainable.
Maybe you've experienced this too?

Stop Majoring In Things That Are Minor
So often we get caught up in or fixated on little issues.
We stress out, lose sleep over and occupy our thoughts with things that are sometimes, while they seem important at the time, they're truly not worth the efforts we seem to place on them because they are minor issues.
Like the old saying goes, "Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill."... Let's focus on the major things instead of worrying about the minor things and in all things, whether major or minor, let's submit them fully to the Lord as He never intended for us to worry about anything, rather, we're to cast all anxiety, worry etc upon Him because He cares about you / us. (see passages such as: 1 Peter 5:7 and Psalm 55:22)
We know that each day has enough trouble of its own so let's stop borrowing trouble where there often is none. (see Matthew 6:25-34)
Let's start majoring in the majors but at the same time...leave the minors and majors in God's strong hands because we need His help in all things.
In Christ Alone,
rlk
