Good morning! How are we faithing? The lessons being taught in the Word are hard to take sometimes because who wants to face our own failings? We ought to be fast at looking in the mirror so the truth can be seen. It is easy if we bring to mind the success in past events and learn from the failings. Whining and complaining because things are flying against us and our life is hard sometimes...oh boo hoo. Grow some skin. Keep your faith alive and vigilant even when you don't feel it. We have momentary even hourly temptations come but we need to remember from where we came so we can remind ourselves of the struggle from before. I quit smoking. Man o man was that hard but I still sometimes want one but remembering the victory reminds me the momentary pleasure a cig might bring isn't worth going through that struggle again. Pay attention this week to where you've been and where you are going. Don't pick your path on feelings only but pause and remember. This will help you choose your path so you don't go through things for naught....
Heb 3:1-15
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I swear in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
remember those hurting and to look deeper than the surface...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love. Thank you for your truth that is the only truth. Lord, as things escalate, grant us courage and wisdom to stand firm. Put your words in our mouth. Show us the path we ought to be on and not one we made. Guide our eyes to the things that edify and not those that deceive...in Jesus name, amen
