F4S: Your aim or aims? My main aim? Do you have one or some?

Your aim or aims? My main aim? Do you have one or some?

What’s your main task, purpose, aim, believer? Worship, praise and prayer. That's mine today. What else? With the word seek to bring assurance to people, to win them to Jesus. Let people know that God’s in control -- the Lord can intervene in their lives even when it looks impossible. He loves us gobs, has a good plan today. I desire to edify, to comfort, and to encourage people – no matter the need, I wanna point them to the Lord as the ultimate Solution.


Could be better at this I guess -- doin' my best, I commit the rest.  I keep busy and say somethin' on the go a lot of times. What do you enjoy doing in the Lord? You okay? Need a new start? The Lord gives second chances! Ever need a new beginning?

The Bible says, "Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.’" Jonah 3:1. Mr. Jonah had rebelled and really needed to start over..needed a fresher than fresh start. He needed some forgiveness, needed to obey the Lord this time. God the Father missed him -- He was still longing for meaningful fellowship with His wayward son.

Remember how God gave King David in Israel a second chance as well. And after David committed adultery and homicide.. yep, murder (which he did to cover up his wicked adultery) God gave Dave a second chance. Repentance and faith were key.
When the prophet Nathan came and boldly confronted David, he was nailed in love. How did he respond, what did he do? He repented. And then God gave him a second chance. A new beginning in life.
Samson had a she-weakness. You remember how he had so much going for him but blue it bad.
He had committed incredible feats of strength like a superhero could do. But then he fell into sin and got involved in all kinds of sex sin and immorality.
Ultimately, Samson's enemies creeped around and then captured him. They attacked and gouged out his eyes. No more vision for Samson.
But then the Bible gives us this particular detail about Samson in the book of Judges (16:22), “But before long, his hair began to grow back” (nlt). God gave him a second chance -- a brand spanking new beginning. Man, this should give us all some hope. We've all sinned, but God will forgive and restore us. He can bless and use you!
