Good morning! How are we faithing? So many people telling us which way to go. So many people who think they know how everything is to be done. Ever have someone who drives you nuts tell you something that you know is true but you don't want to admit it? I've had bosses in the past that I just didn't care for and when they would say something that was right, it irritated the snot out of me. Getting to the point of hearing the message and not the messenger is what is important and is a huge lesson on learning truth. I've met people who at first impression were deemed not to bright who surprised me with some truth that caused me to rethink that first impression. I know I've missed stuff before because a considered bonehead delivered it only to realize I was the bonehead. We need to lay aside personalities, status, position and listen to what is said and use the Word as our gauge. It is truly amazing that famous people's opinion matter so much. So much stuff is disseminated and believed simply because of the messenger. Do yourself a favor and check everything you hear. Learn to see what truths are important to stick in your computer brain and which is to be sent to the recycle bin...
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
NAS
1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
NAS
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
NKJV
Remember Shiela B...remember Jeff Ross...remember Sharon Hurley...remember Ben
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for truth. Thank you for your Word that reveals all we need. Lord, help us forgive as we want forgiveness. Help us be in tune to truth regardless of who speaks it. Give us a discerning spirit. Lord we lift those mentioned today, heal them. Lord thank you for all you do for us, in Jesus name, amen
