Today's Scripture *September 2, 2009*
Hebrews 10: 35-38
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”
The Bible gives us a clear choice between two life directions. Because life often forks off in two directions, you must take the higher road, even though it looks more difficult and treacherous. That road gets steep in places. The climb takes a toll on your energy. It gets lonely. Not many on it, but more than you imagined, and some because of your example. It gets slippery; the devil blows ices on the narrow passages. Despite its dangers, the higher road is bound for the peak, and you will make it!--God has a Lifeline around you. When you are tempted to falter in your faith or to turn back from following Christ, keep focused on what He has done for you and what He offers in the future. Then keep climbing!!
Romans 8:18-19 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.; Galatians 3: 10-13 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life." But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
Thank You Jesus for Your sacrifice.
Help us to stay on the road that You have set before us.
When trials come, and things get rough-- may we always stay linked to our Lifeline--Jesus Christ!
May we turn our eyes to You, Christ Jesus. May we stay fixed on the final and ultimate eternal goal.
In Your Marvelous Name, Amen..
God bless!
