Alright, thank you very much. And hello again my dear radio friend. How in the world are you? You doin’ alright today? I trust everything’s alright at your house. You know trouble seems to come in clusters, have you ever noticed that? The refrigerator’ll break down, the plumbing breaks, the dog runs away or the cat stays out all night, or junior gets the chicken pox. Why did he have to get that just now, you say? And father comes home and says he had a rough time at the job and he fears that he may be passed over by promotion, and you develop a ripping headache.

And everything seems to be going wrong. Isn’t that a profile of some of your days? Well I’ve been there. The fact is if you’ve struck a rough day you can always look up and say, “Lord Jesus, see me through this one.” Bible doesn’t say you have to enjoy it. It says, “In everything give thanks.” You can look up and worship your God and thank Him for what he’s doing in your life, yeah, while you’re going through things that aren’t particularly pleasant.

Dear friend of mine said to me the other day, “You know the Lord is burnishing me pretty hard.” (Laughs) Well I suppose God has to rub hard on some of us to, to bring out any kind of a shine. But it’s not very pleasant while the process is going on, is it? Remember they said of our Savior, “He hath done all things well.” Fanny Crosby sang about that, “Jesus doeth all things well. This is my song through endless ages, Jesus led me all the way.”

So trust Him, whatever you’re going through right now, you trust Him, and obey Him. The step of obedience opens the door to miracle. The priests try to get their feet wet before the waters of Jordan parted. They had to get thirsty before the miraculous supply of water was provided. They had to get hungry before God gave them the manna.

The step of obedience is, opens the door to miracle. The blind man sitting there begging, received from our Lord the command, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam.” He had to go there and, and, and do what the master told him, so that he could come back having received his eyesight.” Oh I have to relearn that every day really, don’t you? Trust your Lord and dare to obey Him this very day, and He will open the door to God’s wonderful miracles for you.

We’ve been reviewing 1 Thessalonians, just sort of hitting the high spots as my father used to say. Come now to Chapter 5, which is living so as to be ready for the second coming of Christ. “Ye brethren you’re not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You’re to be ready. “You are all the children of light, and the children of the day. We’re not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober.”
