I've Got The Blues: Devotions From Time Of Grace MinistrySample

GOD'S LOVING PROMISES: HE GIVES YOU FRIENDS

"It is not good for the man to be alone," said God, as he created the first woman. It still isn't good for people to be isolated. He made us to be social creatures. He also created the concept of the church because it is not good for people to be in spiritual isolation.

Satan has an easier time picking off the strays. Left to ourselves we can get lost, eat things not good for us, and fall prey to any one of the thousand or so temptations that the devil has found successful in destroying people's bodies and souls.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). Every one of those divine activities builds up people's faith and spiritual strength. Every one is a gift from God intended to be enjoyed by a spiritual family.

I need my Christian friends. I need someone to tell me if I'm getting weird in my beliefs. I need someone to tell me if I am rationalizing a sinful lifestyle. I need encouragement when I am down and a posterior kick when I am being stubborn. So do you. Do you have a congregation? Love it! Do you need a congregation? Find one!
