My God and My Country

My Daily Meditation

My Friends and brethren in Christ;

Lately, it has been impressed upon my mind that I should use audio in my studies and postings. In fact, it has been a struggle for me. I wanted to do what was asked of me, but fear would grip me each time I attempted to do it. I would fear sounding ignorant, and stumbling over my words. The last couple of days I fought against it tooth and nail, saying that could not speak well enough to convey His message.  It was then put upon my mind, that I would say NO message at all, that I’d not be allowed to even type any words of encouragement, or salvation (other than posting what I had read),and that I’d would be similar, Zechariah in Chapter one of The Gospel of Luke, until such time as I did the audio messages.  Again, I struggled and tried to avoid it. But the thought of not being able to speak on God’s word troubled me greatly. And so friends and brethren, I became obedient to Him whose Spirit drives me, and put aside my fears and instead, put my trust in Him to put the words in my mouth, as He did to Moses, though Aaron, as to Isaiah, when his lips were touched by God. 

There may be people reading this, who will scoff at this, who will think of me as going to extremes. There may be those who will think I’ve taken leave of my senses. I only know, what I believe, and what I feel. That the spreading of God’s word, His message of salvation, His call for repentance, is very important to me, and it is my call to serve Him in this capacity.  If He has said to me to use this audio media, I will do so. For as the Apostle Paul had written I will not be ashamed of the Gospel. I will only apologize for my lack of ability to speak concisely, and my stumbling, at times, over my tongue. I trust that I will in time improve upon it. Please find below the link to this first attempt. 
Sincerely, your fellow brother in Christ
