Fire Prevention Week
by Christina Farris 10/8/2022Fire prevention week, is about putting out the flames of the devil, and allowing Christ light to shine in one's heart. It simple really. It about ever born again Christian responsibility to join the fire fighting team of faith. To find their way to share the Gospel of Jesus. To share God's word with another living soul in need of the light of Christ. Some online, some in church, some on the city streets, some in the business world, and some in the highways and byways of life. Where are the firefighters and rescue works that put out the house fire. Where are they going too. Are they on the field of another rescue never realizing their own soul is in jeopardy without Christ. They see death every day and do they know the love of Christ. They know how to help people, but do they know the love of Christ. Mission trips come with anyone willing to help, but not of faith. Leaders and teachers of God lead the processions of the work needed doing. People jump aboard because they know one bowl of soup might help a child, help the elderly, or someone their own age. Not understanding the gift of love God is taking to these people as those trained witness. One act of love, one act of kindness by those in need of Christ can see the hope that one bowl of soup brings, never understanding God's mission field is not about soup, it about the fact Jesus can save the soul for eternity. When God's word grabs the unsaved heart, he sees more then a bowl of soup, but a change to share the love of God too. He becomes a hand extended to for the Lord. Something are government doing that is dangerous is putting on the sale tickets the amount of food stamps each person gets. I was in the store yesterday when a person trouble seeing could not read her sales ticket and she wanted to know how much food stamps she had and I could not tell her. I having trouble seeing, could not read the sales ticket, nor could I help her. I had to ask the cashier when i got in line if she knew herself how I could of helped her. Of course I would of needed my magnify glass out, but of course it where I left it at home. I promise there is a point to the story. If I was not a good person I could of stole her ebt card and taken what she had left which was only a few dollars. People we need to look at ways to protect our government kids. Churches are handing out food, but the government elderly need protection in protecting their account numbers and their privacy. Teach those on food stamps to use their card like a checking account, you only have so much so write it down. Keep track yourself, don't expect everyone else to do it for you. Reason being it for your security. However the government might not change their rules, but sharing your amount with the world might cause you harm, beware what you do. It is a crisis for the poor. To many predators in our world that will find a way to steal or take what not theirs. Please care for those in need. Protect when you can. Putting out the fires of potential bully, with the care of the concern. There so much our world needs to understand about protecting the less fortunate. There things that must be down to protect the victims of the storms. there things that must be done on even simple rescue and simple fire. Protect the needy, protect the ones who lossed already. Protect the liberty of the poor, the disabled. Protect the world of their faith in God. Protect the world of the rights. Rescue worker is not always about God but God should be in the things that are value of most people, and that hope, love, faith, and protection. Rescue worker is trying to put out the first wave of the storm. They can not put out all the waves of the storm. Who do they protect the rich, middle class, the poor and all those in between. Yet the rich feel self reliant, the middle class know they will recover, and the poor only hope to recover. We can not play God in the life of these people, but a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, clothes provide, the food given, and a winning smile cools the heat of the storm for many people. Where are you in the storm. Are you the rescue in the initial wave of trouble, the storm fighter in the aftermath, the storm worker that helping with long endurance of the storm. No one can do it all, need for many types of people to aid in the storm. God is in it for the long haul of the storms of our world and in our life. Not all storms are his making, but all storms he sees and walks through with us. He even aid the world in those storms. Yet he never stop a storm of his doing, or a storm caused by the world, why because we learn to love others through the storm as we want to be loved in our storms. To bring the comfort of God who comforts us by his Spirit to those in need is our job and our hope we share of our storm of God mercy and grace will strengthen the weak.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 KJV 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. |
