There is NOTHING, that you have ever done in your life, that the Grace of God, through Jesus Christ, cannot cover. Yes, there is a humility, of recognizing your, failure, but don’t ever, believe the lie, that God cannot forgive you. When your heart falls on his Grace and Mercy, you are freed from the bondage of the slavery of Sin. May God deliver you today, from whatever holds you back. God Bless

Look around you, and see if another person is your enemy? A person, who is created in God’s Image, is never our enemy.
Father, forgive us, when we judge the person, and not look at the Spiritual realm going on behind the scene.
Whom shall I turn to? The maker of Heaven and Earth, or to worldly wisdom, made up of sinful man, for their own selfish desires. What will you choose. (See notes below on an overview of the fist 7 verses of this Psalm).

This song strikes a strong note of assurance in 4 stages that God is help and protection to keep both Israel and individual believers safe from harm.

2) II. God—Keeper (121:3, 4)
III. God—Protector (121:5, 6)
IV. God—Preserver (121:7, 8)
We have ALL fallen short, both before and after becoming a Christian. Our failures and/or, our circumstances, do not dictate who we are in Christ. Our identity with Christ, and our continuing Faith, that he alone can change us, and renew us, and forgive us, make us a child of God. Jesus paid our debts, that we, not might, but may LIVE. Let us never think we are something, in and of ourselves, but that we are everything, in Christ Jesus.
Being labeled a cheater was especially difficult for someone who was known for being one of Major League Baseball’s most outspoken Christian athletes. One of Pettitte’s favorite scriptures at the time, in fact, was one that spoke to his desire to live above reproach and with the utmost integrity as a representative of Jesus:
”Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.“
1 Peter 4:11 NASB1995
If your faith is determined by your circumstances, it’s never going to work.” Michael McDowell – Professional Race Car Driver
It’s more than a Game….both Baseball and Life.
Mariano Rivera, on blowing the save, Game 7 of the 2001 World Series!
“I have to believe that every pitch I throw is the right pitch and is a great pitch, and the next one will do the job. Always, always.” Rivera once told ESPN.com. “When I talk about the Lord, I’m not talking about praying to him for him to give you what you want. People always pray for something they want. He’s going to give you what you need. That doesn’t mean you’re going to win the game. It really has nothing to do with baseball.
