While I Run This Race

 

Hebrews 12:1

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” 


“Lord hold my hand while I run this race. Lord guide my feet while I run this race. Lord fix my

heart while I run this race. 

Cause I don’t want to run this race in vain.”


Let it go. My grandmother often told me:

“Let go and let God.” Letting go and “letting”

God is a process. 


First we have to lay the weights aside. This laying aside doesn’t mean we act as if our problems don’t exist. The attitude of: if I ignore my problems, they will go away, is not the solution.


Problems, cares, and concerns are weights. 

 Sin is a weight.The temptations that haunts us are weights.


God does not intend for us to be “weighted” down.  A runner carrying a heavy load will not be able to go the distance. 


The remedy? Lay the weights aside.

 How can we do this? Through prayer.

 Pray. Keep turning it over to God. 


Consistency is key. Keep praying. 

Keep giving “it all” to God. 

Run the race. 

Do it with patience.


God will hold our hand. 

God will guide our feet. 

God will fix our hearts, WHILE WE RUN THIS RACE. 


“Cause, we don’t want to run this race in vain.”


God bless.


In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
