CAMP MEETING 2024 -MORE ABOUT JESUS

The following is an excerpt from this morning’s devotion:

…I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down... (Neh. 6:3)

“One of Satan’s favorite employees is the “switchman.” He likes nothing better than to sidetrack one of God’s express trains, sent on some blessed mission and filled with the fire of a holy purpose.

Something will come up in the pathway of an earnest soul, to attract its attention, and occupy its strength and thought. Sometimes it is a little irritation and provocation. Sometimes it is some petty grievance we stop to pursue or adjust.

Very often, and before we are aware of it, we are absorbed in a lot of distracting cares and interests that quite turn us aside from the great purpose of our life.

We may not do much harm, but we have missed our connection. We have gotten off the main line.

Let these things alone. Let distractions come and go, but press forward steadily and irresistibly with your God-given task.”

Find what God wants you to do, do it with thy might, and don’t turn from it. Deuteronomy 5:32; Ecclesiastes 9:10.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We all have so much to be thankful for. The Psalmist said in Ps. 68:19,

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”

Let’s thank God for who he is and what he’s done. And above all, let’s thank him for the gift of his Son. 2 Cor. 9:15.
