After the temptation and after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
You’ve had your “high” moment when you feel totally “at one” with God. There is just no higher feeling you could possibly have–and you know it. But then come the temptations when evil tries to divert you back to your former life. Emotionally draining, sometimes you begin to wonder about the reality of that experience with God. But you work through it with the help of God’s word and friends. Now what?
Well, you do what Jesus did–you get to work. What is your message? What talent or talents do you have to get on with living with God every day? Do you have the ability to heal other people’s emotional wounds? Can you uplift others with song or music? Can you teach? Can you speak? Can you make friends with someone who needs God in their life?
There are many ways to go to work. Remember the message–turn your life around by recognizing where you have gone wrong and deciding to walk with God (repent) and believe the Good News that Jesus has overcome evil and death and will share his victory with us. Then go to work helping others realize this and learn their walk with God.
