Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

The faith experience provides for each of us goals that with persistence we can attain. One such goal is eternal encouragement. How marvelous to think that God has a never failing ability to provide us with encouraging words, people, and events in our lives? To wake up this morning after all the rain of the previous days to see a clear sky and the morning sun is encouraging. The witness the fall blooms on flowers that grace our community is encouraging. To hear the voice of love ones and to know that they are alright is encouraging. To read words of wisdom and to be able to apply them to your life is encouraging. To know that God has given you one more chance to get it right is encouraging. How wonderful to know that even in moments of weakness and when the stain of sin is at your door, God through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, has provided you eternal encouragement for your soul. That's right! You can make it because God is on your side!
