"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14 WEB

"Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us," Hebrews 12:1 WEB

Run the race. Embrace your Grace <3

Bad things going on all around us in society. Sadly, it is happening as it is supposed to.

"But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also."  2 Timothy 3:1-5 (WEB)

Stand in prayer. Keep the faith. Most of all, do not fear.
"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." Psalm 91:7

How do you keep the faith and not fear? You do so by saying what God says and believing in your heart that He will bring it to pass.

Don't look to the left or the right or at what did not work for whom. Even if "whom" is you. Every day is a new day. Besides, you have no control over anyone else nor do you know the details of their life. Control your life. Believe and receive.

"But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” Matthew 19:14 WEB

This one goes well with it too. 
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:14 WEB

I was thinking about this awhile back. When we have children, we are not only responsible for our relationship with God, but theirs too. I recall a time Mom and Dad didn't go to church but they made sure my butt was there every Sunday. My Grandparents took a car full of "chaps", as they called us. grin emoticon

There is so much temptation and peer pressure. More than I encountered in my day. The struggle is real people. Give them some ammunition for the battle. 

Hey... Embrace your Grace <3

Be cautious of who say Jesus is "a" son of God vs. "the Son". There is a difference.

You and I are "a" son of God. He said in Matthew 16:14, some say He's Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

"He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-16 WEB

Verse 17 begins, "Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you...".

Blessed are all who speak the true gospel.

"I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments." Psalm 119:7 WEB

The word "when" here just did not sit well with me. It can be interpreted, I will wait until I learn, then I'll give thanks. Other translations use the word "as" instead of "when" which means while I'm learning, I will give thanks.

"Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples." 1 Chronicles 16:8

"Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34 / Psalm 118:29 / Psalm 136:26

How many know if it had to be said three times (in the bible), it has to be important? ;)

Thank you God for blessing my family, my friends and our Nation.

"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21 WEB People often quote only part of this scripture. Please don't leave out or forget the part that says, "according to the power that works in us". So, what is the power that works in us? "If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." John 14:14 "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them." Mark 11:24 How do you believe you have received? Continue to thank God for it. I hear you, "I just can't lie and thank God for something I don't see". It's called "faith". If you get a paycheck or have direct deposit you believe the money is in the bank without seeing it. Well there you go. I believe the Word of God over man's word any day.
