Good morning. Now a
statement that can either be considered glorious or ominous: The end of all
things is at hand. So what should we do – run and hide? Therefore, be of sound
judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Well if you know the end
is at hand, shouldn't you be praying, and not for yourselves – it should be to
bring others to Christ. Keep fervent in your love for one another, because love
covers a multitude of sins. That does not mean that it excuses those sins. Be
hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special
gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace
of God. Of course you may think that you have not received a special gift - in
actuality you just haven't discovered it yet. Whoever speaks, let him speak, as
it were, the utterances of God; whoever serves, let him do so by the strength
which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus
Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. When we
speak to others, it should be as if God were speaking to them. Would God say
what we say – probably not. He would want to lead them to Christ, not chase
them away. When we serve others, it is not to bring glory to ourselves but to
God. Father thank You that the reader speaks Your words to bring others to
Christ. He/she serves others to bring glory to You.
