Good morning! How are we faithing? This walk with Jesus is wonderful. This walk with Jesus is rough sometimes. This walk with Jesus is full of things I never imagined. I not only believe who Jesus is but I am endeavoring to follow his lead. Let me tell you who don't know, it can be very daunting but boldly a step is taken to follow in his ways. Do I trip and fall? Oh yeah I do and I have the scars to prove it but one thing I am sure of, he picks me up, dusts me off, consoles and encourages then says,"come on, I'll help you". The more I follow him the more I see why he does what he does. Many times it looks illogical but I know his way is always right. It's more than just believing. If one believes, one does. I know from the Word that my feats have no bearing on my salvation but I do those feats because I believe. I actually do the things Jesus taught because of belief and not out of duty or obligation. How about you? Do you see your life transforming? Do your feats sometimes surprise yourself? Amen! Jesus is alive in you and me! Keep pressing forward in belief and in knowing our savior has us on the right path. Read this and be encouraged!
1 Peter 2:1-10
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. And coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture:
"Behold I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone,
And he who believes in Him shall not be disappointed."
This precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve,
"The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the very corner stone,"
and,
"A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense";
for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Remember Sebastion...remember Baily
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that teaches and admonishes us to be who you designed us to be. Grant us the strength to act and speak courageously and wisely. Help us not be haughty or prideful but full of compassion and with our eyes wide open to your ways and will. Thank you for your love for us, in Jesus name, amen
