What amazing opportunities that God places before us!
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “ ‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.’ ”
Revelation 3:7-8
As we gaze across the countryside of Sealy you can’t help but notice all the homes which have been built in the last ten years.
Some would call this progress, while others would say it’s regressive because we want Sealy to stay a small town.
Regardless of your attitude on the population growth here, as followers of Christ we must say that this is an opportunity God gives to all Christians living in this area. And at the same time we must remember who has the power to open this opportunity and it’s definitely not us. The power is in our amazing God that through His Son, Jesus, He gives His life as the sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. Not only does He give us eternal life through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He also gives us the power to take advantage of the opportunities that He Himself places before us.
