IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL YOU CAN’T BE FEARFUL…..

IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL YOU CAN’T BE FEARFUL…..

Some years ago, the story was told of a Christian fisherman who lay in his boat one night when he heard a loud splash not far away.

Knowing that the owner of another craft nearby was a heavy drinker, he hurriedly jumped into the cold water and with a great effort succeeded in pulling the half-drowned man out of the bay.

He carried him to his berth and applied first aid until the alcoholic regained consciousness. Having done everything to make him comfortable, he swam back to his own boat.

The next morning he returned to inquire how he felt. "That's none of your business," said the man defensively.

The fisherman reminded him that he had risked his life to save him; but instead of showing gratitude, the man only cursed him.

As the Christian paddled away, tears filled his eyes.

Looking up to Heaven, he said, "When I think of how men have treated You, dear Lord, I'm filled with sorrow.

Now I can begin to understand how YOU must feel."

Our message for you today is...develop the habit of thanking God each morning and throughout the day.

If you're grateful you can't be fearful.

In addition, meditate your memory verse every time you can. Surely, there's no substitute to having God's word in your heart and mind.

Don't let your age, academic, business etc stop you. Just Do It!

I'm not sure what's preventing you from studying, memorizing and meditating God's word regularly, but what I'm certain is scripture memorization is a life changing habit.

It's one of the very few activities you can do here on earth that have eternal significance.
