Moving Past What If to...But I Follow After

Philippians 3:12King James Version (KJV)

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Dear Friends,
What's next? The next step. After I get it all figured out, what then?  What if after this is over I am...?
We are never going to have the answers to all of life's earthly questions. The what "ifs" are always going to pop up.  "What then"will be waiting in the shadows.
We, like Paul have to make up our mind:
  • Not as though
  • I had already attained
  • Either were already
  • Perfect
  • BUT I FOLLOW AFTER
  • If that I may apprehend 
  • That for which
  • I am also apprehended of 
  • Christ Jesus
Move past doubt and grab hold to the certainty. Following after Christ Jesus is ALWAYS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.  Take the next step by faith.

in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
