God's Acre MCC ~ Weekly Newsletter |
|
Yesterday I preached about Simon Peter who was tired, despondent & low in spirit; yet, even in that state, he was still able to follow Jesus.
He did something he really didn’t want to do; he followed Jesus’ instruction, even when he thought he knew better than Jesus; he followed and did what was asked.
This is where God stepped in and a miracle happened. His life changed when he was at his lowest ebb. When he went that extra mile to do Jesus’ bidding.

Sometimes we struggle and think - why should I bother?
Why should I keep praying, when my life doesn’t seem to change?
Why should I attend church, I don’t seem to be seeing any fruits of my labor?
This is when miracles happen, when you still push through, believing in God & taking a leap of faith & going against all odds; this is when you get your breakthrough.

God has seen your struggles, from the day you were born. God has been with you and seen you through so many aspects of your life that you didn’t know. God has special timing; God is never early, God is never late, God is just on time.
I really love the story of Simon Peter; we can all see ourselves in him, an ordinary person, working hard for his family. And yet he is chosen by God to do some very extraordinary work.
If you’re thinking to yourself right now - why would God choose you? - remember the scripture and remember what God did for Simon Peter.
Remember to take a leap of faith, and the net will appear. You may think you’re ordinary, but God sees you as extraordinary and special because you are a child of God. You are loved and you were born in the image of God.
In Christ
