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,

Adds Up…

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. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. 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...
