Feeling Pampered Today?

Someone asked how I could possibly devote so much time to my blog every day – 365 days a year. I know God gave me this mission to be an encourager and a light in the darkness. I promised to fulfill that mission from the get-go. My “ministry” platform just happens to be on social media. What a convenient way of spreading the Good News — unlike the ways of our forefathers!

I’ll admit, sticking to those 365 days a year often comes with a work-out. I may be in a remote location and must drive for miles to a Wi-Fi spot. Or, I may be able to use my phone’s Hot Spot. Thank God for technology that allows us to travel with our friends on their vacations via the photos they post. It is like my children who are on an Alaskan cruise, and I can receive their photos and be reminded of the Alaskan cruise that we once enjoyed.

The same God Who called me to it (blogging daily), is the same God Who sees me through it. Each day I sense God allowing me to be the “pen” or “computer” in His hands as the messages for each new day come to me.

How could we complain about any issues with technology? I would say we are very pampered compared to the Apostle Paul’s location in “posting” his writings! He penned or dictated Galatians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians and Romans, and from his PRISON CELL, he penned or dictated Ephesians, Philemon, Colossians, and Philippians, then, 1 Timothy and Titus, and during his second Roman imprisonment, he wrote 2 Timothy. Geesh! I can’t even imagine how he accomplished so much.

How could I not obey the same voice of the Holy Spirit Who spoke to Paul? If he could carry out God’s call in a cold, dark, damp prison cell — without a computer, Wi-Fi, car, air-conditioning or heated home or office with electricity, a near-by restroom and kitchen stocked with food, running cold or hot water, and the comfort of a cozy bed (Need I say more?), how could I not fulfill this sweet and comfortable mission that God has given me? What a wuss I would be to complain in any way!

I sense the Holy Spirit’s leading each day for what I need and for what someone else may need to kickstart their day. I know it is easy to scan through such a wordy FB post or my blog website Mypeacezone.com . But, most importantly, is the message that God and I convey to help someone feel deeply loved by Father God. Hopefully, it helps us love deeper, and rejoice, live in gratitude more, and live with audacious faith despite the storms. I hope that my readers share with someone else one of the messages that may inspire and motivate them to pursue God with all their hearts.

I look forward to running into St. Paul in heaven, applaud him and say, “Way to go with all that incredible example of faithfulness of giving us God’s words because they sure made a difference in my life.”

And, in some small token of faithfulness, I hope to hear those words from those I might have inspired to finish their race strong – just like St. Paul told us to! How could we do less than give our best to God Who gave His all? 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
