Doing Right vs. Blessings "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." (Galatians 6:9, NIV ). A very powerful script this is, that we should all al- ways keep in our mind and hearts. Sometimes life is trying and we get the feeling that the harder we try, and the more diligently we work, we hit wall after wall of tri- als, test and overwhelming- ly hard times. This in turn can make us bitter, angry and depressed if we let it. But, by not giving up and doing the right thing even when your mind and body are saying that there is no point. We receive blessings and grace from God for do- ing what we no to be right in his eyes. Are the bless- ings always what we want or expect? No. But, they are what we need, be that forgiveness, peace, wisdom or strength. This week remember that doing right is not easy. If it were everyone would do it. But, by doing right even when it seems hopeless, and keeping faith that God has your back and your best in- terest at heart, blessings are sure to come your way. Pray and do what is right even when life gets hard. God bless you and keep you. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center. Web- site: grcenter.net – E-mail address: glezenrevivalcen- ter@yahoo.com.

The snake that poisons everybody It can topple govern- ments. It can wreck mar- riages. It can ruin careers. It can scar reputations. It can cause headaches, night- mares and indigestion. It can spawn suspicion and gener- ate grief. It can dispatch in- nocent people to cry in their pillows. Even its name hiss- es—it is called GOSSIP. Of- fice gossips, shop gossips, party gossips, neighbor gos- sips. It makes headlines and heartaches. Before you re- peat a story, ask yourself— Is it true? Is it necessary? If not, just keep it to yourself. Silence is never misquoted.

But praise God, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be add- ed? God's order back into our lives—a peace that pass- es all understanding—He is
