1 Peter 4:11 A verse that speaks volumes - read and enjoy!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! Jesu Jevu!!!

   1 Peter 4: ¹¹ If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

   Take time---- again, I say TAKE TIME TO READ AND DIGEST!!

FIRST, if anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God -

         When we talk to others we are evaluated by what and how we say something.  Well, you idiot, you don't know what @#%&*($#% you are doing does not set a godly example.  Rephrase - well, let's look at this together and see if we can figure it out works much better and displays a more godly presence.

NEXT, If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides -  before we just jump into something, take time to pray about it, asking for God's strength and guidance. We can do all things through He who strengthens us.

THEN, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ-- work to be the Bible others see in you.  You may be that one, 1, single influence that would turn someone around and wonder how you can do what you do.  This would be a time to share salvation and Jesus Christ.

FINALLY,  To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.  All praise and glory should go to him.  Who is him?  God is him.  Look back at this verse and you will see: speak in a godly manner, serve through God's strength, give praise to God, and acknowledge God's power and glory forever.

             This is a great verse to digest and live by.  Hope you do. Love you all.

Soli Deo Gloria
