This Is Relevant


"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 
     - I Corinthians 10:13

 Dear Friends,

 Some times it can all be too much.  Frustration sets in and we begin to rehearse: "I don't know how much more of this can I take."  Impatience hovers over us as we fume; "If one more thing goes wrong I am going to scream."  Temptation.  Tempted to give up, throw in the towel.  Temptation.  Tempted to forget that God has promised to work all together for our good even the frustration.

 Every day the battle to stand firm is in front of us.  We are especially vulnerable to attacks when we have our heart and minds set to diligently follow the Lord. It may appear that the pit falls and yes pot holes keep showing up the harder we try to navigate and stay the course.

 Know that the temptations we face, the trials while seemingly "too much" have relevance in our Christian journey.  We all have to go through the pool of adversity.  And through faith in Jesus Christ we are assured we will make it through.  

 God is Faithful.  This is relevant. God will make a way for us.  This is relevant.  God will bear our burdens.  This is relevant.

 God is. This is relevant.

 God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
