One Minute with God: Empathy or Apathy

Have you ever experienced a part of your anatomy going numb? Or, have you attempted to stand up from your seat while the flow of blood has been cut off from your limbs? Isn’t it the strangest, if not funniest scene to witness someone attempting to posterize themselves while balancing on what seems to be “two left feet?” So, it is when you and I are attempting to keep a straight face while spiraling into an emotional coma.


Apathy is a silent assassin, and It’s almost impossible to be effective at anything if you and I are being desensitized or paralyzed by our lack of zeal. Most people who have lost any permanent loss of feeling is usually paralyzed or dead. So, losing the love for what you do, or anyone you love may put you in danger of an unexpected involuntary termination. Keep your spiritual fervor in place, and persevere under every circumstance so that you will receive your end reward.


God desires for you to live with empathy, rather than to suffer from apathy!


Colossians 3:23-25

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

One Minute with God: Not Forgotten

Like turning through the pages of an old photo album and looking at the smiles that once burn bright, or the replaying of an old video that reminds us of our youthful vigor - it is also good to give thought to the better days of life. Like one who may suffer from permanent amnesia, it is so easy to drift away into total forgetfulness and erase the wonderful memories that once were recorded in the center of our hearts.


The Holy Writ encourages us to recall the goodness that God has bestowed upon us. Wether in present or past we all have been awarded a certain degree of memory so that we may reflect on what God has said, and what He has done. The many ways he has gotten us through our troubles or performed an unwarranted miracle. Matter of fact, the personalities found through biblical history always took the time to ponder on the struggles, weigh the process, and record the lessons learned.


Do not permit yourself to drown in the discouragements of failures past. But, remember how in the world you made it through - because this to shall pass, and better days are ahead.


God has not forgotten.


Isaiah 49:14-16


14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.”


15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

One Minute with God: Beacon of Hope

Each generation before us and every generation after us will have the opportunity to encounter events that will define their existence, and influence the pages of human history. Stories of heroism, of bravery, and of unusual feats for which legends are made. We have been granted this special moment in the annuals of human history to leave our mark on future generations. To stand in the face of adversity, and fight the moral battles lurking to tare down what is innocent in this great nation. To gather the wood, and the dry leaves of the fall so that we may burn our torches bright in the face of our darkened winters. And, to await the light of a new spring for which summer calls out with its righteous passions. Let us stand, therefore, as believers that God will shine His love on us again. That we may be counted in the fight against good and evil. In the battle of deception verse the truth that sets every person free. For faith will always cling unto truth, and the truth shall always prevail! For the truth is not just a statement, but a person called Christ! Matthew 5:14-16 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
