One more Song for You
Galatians 6:9-10 The Voice (VOICE)
9 May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist. 10 So seize any opportunity the Lord gives you to do good things and be a blessing to everyone, especially those within our faithful family.
Anyone who is been in Indiana for any length of time, knows that this time of year is known as harvest Time. The farmers have worked all year up to this point without any reward for their effort and now has come the time when they reap the results of what they have sown.
The farmers do the same thing year in and year out, over and over. Sometimes they have great harvest, when the abundance of rain and sunshine are prevalent and then again there are times when all the work doesn’t seem like its worth all the effort!
But still, when your called to be a farmer you’re a farmer and you know sometimes there may be lean times, but more times than not the results always outweigh the risk and investment! Therefore perseverance is your mainstay to keep doing what you know you’re called to do.
Spiritually speaking, our relationship with Jesus requires us to have the same qualities of a farmer, only we’re looking for a harvest of souls for the Kingdom. A chance to share God’s opportunity of eternal life, for all who will come and willingly accept His Son as Lord and Saviour!
The opportunity for those who have decided to participate know, is extraordinary and filled with God’s goodness at every turn. Still at times, what one would think would be an easy decision and abundant harvest, ends in disappointment.
The all knowing God we serve knew there would be times when the burden for souls would be greater than what the harvest would appear to be on the horizon and those who are called to participate in the harvest would need an encouraging word.
Vs 9 May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist.
Vs 10 of our text says, “So seize any opportunity the Lord gives you to do good things and be a blessing to everyone, especially those within our faithful family.”
How many of you know when God wants to get a word to you, He has a wide array of things to use at His disposal. Music is one of the ways God uses, TBS says God inhabits our praise.
Illus. The Imperials “One more song for you”
As long as there is time, and one breath left in me
There will always be one more song for You
And as long as there is room for one more voice in praise
And a need for a word of love and truth, to help my brother through
There’ll be one more song for You
You were there with your songs of laughter, words of hope for my fears
But what are songs when no one else will sing them
What are words when no one hears
Every day was filled with questions, and when I asked, no one knew
Till I found the answer in You
All down through Bible history, there has always been someone willing to pick themselves back up, not give up and keep on going until God called them to their reward. Because of their collective effort, we sit here today with an inheritance as adopted sons and daughters of the most high God!
There has always been one unwilling to let the rocks cry out, to stand up and be counted, who was willing to persevere and say,
“As long as there is time, and one breath left in me
There will always be one more song for You
And as long as there is room for one more voice in praise
And a need for a word of love and truth, to help my brother through
There’ll be one more song for You”
Genesis 18:17-28 NKJ
17 And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, 18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” 20 And the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, 21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”
