Today’s Podcast
- Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
- So what’s the greatest fear you face? Many say it’s speaking in front of a crowd. I’m not so sure that’s right, though.
- Scripture
- John 10:25-30
- Jesus: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works I am doing in My Father’s name tell the truth about Me. You do not listen; you lack faith because you are not My sheep. My sheep respond as they hear My voice; I know them intimately, and they follow Me. I give them a life that is unceasing, and death will not have the last word. Nothing or no one can steal them from My hand. My Father has given the flock to Me, and He is superior to all beings and things. No one is powerful enough to snatch the flock from My Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.
- Devotional
- Studies say that people are more afraid of speaking in front of a crowd than they are of dying.
- Might be true until people actually face death
- We really don’t know what lies beyond that last breath, that last heartbeat
- Something inside us tells us there is more than just the few years we have in these mortal bodies
- We want to have assurances of the next step after we pass from this life to whatever we face next
- Some want us to think there is nothing beyond this life
- Our heart tells us that is not true
- God’s word tells us it’s not true, too
- If we listen to Him we can find out something about what is next
- He tells us something of heaven
- Feast with Him
- No darkness, God is light
- We only get there through Him
- Some don’t want to believe that either
- Everything people try to disprove turns out to be right in God’s word
- Why would we think Jesus’ words about the way to God to be any different?
- Listen to what He has to say
- Pay attention to the sound of His voice in your heart and do what He says
- Ignore the other voices that vie for your attention and focus on the words Jesus tells you
- He is the Good Shepherd and takes care of His sheep. He will do what is best for those under His care. That means us if you have accepted Him as the Lord of your life
- Death doesn’t have to be the most frightening thing you face. Let speaking in front of a crowd scare you more than anything else. He will walk with us through that shadow that separates us from the next step that takes us into eternity
- Studies say that people are more afraid of speaking in front of a crowd than they are of dying.
- If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
