Category: Keep in our eye on the ball
Christian = suffering, but with great joy(JAS 1:2). The race is on. We are in a life long race of endurance, embracing the trials, enduring the sufferings, rejoicing in the victories. All the while holding tight to the finish line where we will receive the crown. The reward of a faithful servant, the perfect life where everything will be changed, including ourselves. Thank you Jesus. Bring on what comes my way today. Whether in good or bad times, May I say, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen!!
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:34-35 NASB
Jesus is the real gift that keeps on giving……..
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15 NASB
Are you being afflicted in your life right now, that is beyond your control? Take courage, since the Apostle Paul understood this well. Listen to his words that are from God, and meditate on them.
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 NASB
Love God, Love People
Keeping it simple, today.
Galations 5:14
For a the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “ b YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Where is Your Hope Placed?
Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 42:11 NASB

Gut check time. Look at what you are focused on and where you are placing your hope. Is it time to refocus.
Practice makes perfect, discipline builds character, and focus keeps your priorities straight.
Read Hebrews 12. As an old baseball player, I always call this keeping your eye on the ball.
May the Lord richly help you today, in your tests and trials.
How do we relieve stress?
When we throw off everything that drags us down, we are freed from a heavy load. We must turn to Jesus, and not our false idols and dreams. Jesus is the one who will ultimately allow us,to fulfill all that we are set on this earth, to do.
I’m not saying in any way that this is necessarily easy, but certainly rewarding!
casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NASB
Want to be strong? See what the bible says.
Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10 NASB
Blameless before God.
We are blameless, not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Jesus. We can never earn our Salvation.
As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Psalms 18:30 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.18.30.NASB
Jesus fulfills scripture.
Prophesy declares that one would come, who would be the perfect sacrifice, and fill our hearts like Living Waters. Jesus is that perfect sacrifice and precursor to the Holy Spirit coming (Rivers of Living Water). Is 44:3, 55:1, 58:11.
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'”
John 7:38 NASB
Living Waters
