Bible Verse of The Day – 3-10-17

Proverbs 4:25 (NKJV) 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.

We have to work at staying focused. It seems that the enemy fights the most at trying to get us off track.

Why? Because if we know the direction we need to go and we stay on course, we will reach our destination. And we will have completed the race that we are called to run.

Winning any race that is put before us requires us to have accurate directions, and the timing is crucial. So staying focused is a BIG part of winning!!

Has God asked us to do something specific? Have we felt like no matter what we try, we can’t seem to get it done? Are there distractions that seem to come and take us off course?

Learning to shut off the distractions is probably one of the hardest things to do in this walk with Christ. Because every day, without a doubt, the enemy will fight us and try to bring up new and better ways to pull on us. Those things will tug at our hearts and minds and whatever else might work. If he can keep us distracted, guess what. He did his job and succeeded at causing us to lose.

Focus. Pull it together by simply saying no to the distractions, even if they seem like nice ones. If they are interfering with the plan that God has for us, they are considered a distraction.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-13-16

1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

Do we receive our diploma if we drop out of school and never take the final exam? If we are in a race and we give up before we reach the finish line, do we still receive a medal? Of course not.

We must always finish what we start and give it our all, or there is no prize and no reward.

Some people think that they can go on this journey with Christ and when things get hard, temptation comes, tiredness sets in, boredom or whatever else may try to come, they can just back out.

That is not how we obtain the prize.

We run in this race with all that we have and if what we have isn’t enough, we ask Him to help us with the rest.

There is no giving up or pulling out. If we want to obtain our prize, we have to hang in there and push through. We are in it for the long haul.

We will reach the finish line if we don’t give up! Amen.
