God's Guidance

9/30/2013

Once we are saved, God will begin to deal with us in different ways about things that should or should not be in our lives. As we begin to pray and ask for His guidance, He will direct us as to what should stay or go. It's always a good idea to have an adult pray with you or maybe even an older brother or sister or someone who is strong in there faith. There may be times when you are not strong in your faith and you will need your brothers and sisters in Christ to help you build it back up. No two people are the same, so there will be times when you need others and when others may need you. Since we find ourselves at different places in our faith, God may very well deal with you about something that is a problem area for you, but for someone else it is not. God may want you to stop watching a certain television show or to stop listening to certain music perhaps. God does everything in His time and he may deal with your friends about the same thing eventually.
"Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables, don't let him who eats despise him who doesn't eat, don't let him who doesn't eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him." Romans 14:1-3 (WEB)
We have to accept each other no matter where we might be in our walk with God. We can not force our opinions on others. As long as we are reading our Bibles and listening to the voice of God, we will be fine and he will mold and make each one of us to be more like Him.

Romans 12:4 "For even as we have many members of one body, and all the members don't have the same function, 5 so we who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." (WEB)
We as Christians make up what is called " the body of Christ. This verse explains a little about what that means. It means that a human body is made up of many different parts and each part has a different function. Your hands don't do the same thing as your eyes and your feet don't do the same thing as your ears, but they all work together to make your body function the way that it is designed to. So this is how it is with the body of believers called The Church. (Remember that The Church is actually the people who make up the body of believers, not the building itself.) God designed you with purpose. He created you and gave you special talents to help the body function the way that it is supposed to. He wants you to contribute your talents and use them in practical ways for His kingdom. Everyone has something to offer, and everyone is different, but what God has gifted you with is important to His kingdom. If you are not sure what your talent is, pray and ask God to reveal it to you. You may want to ask an adult to pray with you. If you are sincere about working in Gods Kingdom, He will show you what areas He has gifted you.
As we are all members of the same body. We have to take care of one another. When you walk through a dark room at night and bump your knee on a table or something, your hand will probably immediately grab your knee. As you jump around on one leg in pain, your hand has taken on the task of comforting your knee. It is a reflex. As it should be with the body of Christ. If someone weeps, we are to weep with them and if someone rejoices we are to rejoice with them. We have to look out for one another and comfort one another.
As you grow in Christ, He will reveal more of Himself to you, and He will begin to define and redefine what your place may be in the body of Christ. And as long as you put Him first, you will grow with confidence and become the Christian that He has called you to be.
