CHOSEN=APPOINTED BY GOD IN ALL SEASONS
CHOSEN=APPOINTED BY GOD
IN ALL SEASONS
WE-you and I-have been CHOSEN
By God=in ALL seasons
We have been called
To BEAR FRUIT-
Fruit that will last
“It was not you
Who chose me
But I chose you
And appointed you
To go and bear fruit
That will REMAIN” John 15:16
We go through MANY seasons
In life
Happy times-sad times-
JOYFUL TIMES=and times of suffering
God CHOOSES us
In ALL seasons and we are called
To bear fruit
In all
The seasons of our life
“BLESSED is the nation
Whose God is the Lord
The people he chose
For his inheritance” Psalm 33:12
God ORIGINALLY chose the JEWISH PEOPLE
But they rejected HIS SON-our Lord
I BELIEVE the next coming
IS in our nation
The nation of America
I HOPE AND PRAY
This supposedly CHRISTIAN nation-
This nation of LOVE=will not
Reject God and our Lord too
But the pointers seem obvious
Many people in our nation
Do NOT believe in our Lord
Yet alone accept him
“BUT if serving the Lord
Seems undesirable to you
Then CHOOSE for yourselves
This day
Whom you will serve
….....
But as for me
And my household
We will
SERVE THE LORD” Joshua 24:15
I CHOSE God and Jesus
MANY YEARS AGO
And my family and friends-
I HOPE-
Will choose GOD AND JESUS too
The GOD OF LOVE-KINDNESS-
And FORGIVENESS=forever and ever
The HARDEST thing in the world
To do
Is to CONTINUE to SERVE GOD
And others
In times of SUFFERING
But we can do it
We have been CALLED
To SERVE the Lord
At all times-including-
OUR times of suffering
“That person-
Is like a tree
PLANTED by streams of water
Which yields its fruit in season
And whose leaf does not wither-
WHATEVER they do PROSPERS” Psalm 1:3
“PREACH the word
Be PREPARED in season
And out of season
CORRECT-rebuke-and encourage
With great patience and careful instruction” 2 Timothy 4:2
LIKE the fruit trees
That bear fruit
EACH and every year
I am CONFIDENT
That we can continue
to BEAR FRUIT
IN EACH and EVERY SEASON
In Jesus' name
