A Time of Refreshing

Friends, we all need our spirits and souls refreshed from this world in which we live. The struggles of life, hardships of work, pain from disease, and the grief of the loss of a loved one takes a tremendous toll on out mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. Where do we go to get relief?

Acts 3:19 teaches, “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord”. Notice “times of refreshing comes from the presence of the Lord”. We get right with God by believing and obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ. We come into those refreshing times by being forgiven of our sins. We stay refreshed and are renewed day by day by staying in communication with God in our prayers and in reading and meditating upon the Word found in our Bibles.

What about you? Do you enjoy reading your Bible? Is prayer and meditation on God’s Holy Word a joy to you? In the beginning, it may seem difficult or arduous to do. With practice and a good attitude, prayer and reading the Bible will become a joy you will not want to miss out on. If you find the Bible challenging, there are many study helps on our Naff Avenue church of Christ website page. Links are there for you to search excellent material to aid you in your studies and answer questions you may have.

May I please encourage you to get into God’s word every day? It will become a source of great comfort to you as you allow your life to become molded by the Bible’s teachings.

Stay true to the Word,

Brother Travis
