From Staff Reports The Albemarle Commis sion Area Agency on Aging will be offering two free Chronic Disease Self-Man agement (CDSMP) work shops in October. CDSMP is an evidence- based health promotion program intended for older adults with a chronic con dition, including arthritis, asthma and lung disease, cancer, heart disease/heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, Multiple Sclero sis, Parkinson’s Disease, re ¬ Island Christian Fellowship 121 Clubhouse Road Holiday Island 252-562-5000 Pastor Ismael Melendez Living at a Higher Level “ You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds, and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 Amplified Bible. Followers of God are indeed leaders of men and must live at a higher level. Jesus said we are blessed when men rise up against us, persecuting and reviling us because we follow Him. When we give ourselves, our whole selves, we can expect trials and temptations. We are tested on a continual basis, no matter where we are in our walk with Christ. Our example to live by is Jesus and we strive to follow his footsteps. Jesus calls His people to live at a higher level or standard than the rest of the world. We must pray for our strengths to overcome our weaknesses which will only come by God’s grace and our own diligence. Our God is a loving and forgiving God Who is ever-present with us. We simply have to ask for help and guidance in the leadership role we are to play. Tests of our leadership will come but in the end we will have fulfillment in that role through God’s merciful intervention.
