Brethren I Count

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:13-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now - more than ever, press on!

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Personally, politically, economically, globally; the ONLY way we can be anxious for nothing, in these dark days, is to keep our focus on The LORD Jesus Christ!

“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.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Remember - God IS in control! From the most insignificant to the most insurmountable; there is absolutely nothing that is out of His reach or influence! 

He has you and me right where He wants us, to refine us in His fire! And trusting Him is most important! 

The devil will paint pictures in our  minds of everything that can go wrong and doubt and unbelief will try and take up residence! Don't give in! We must repent of our sins so as not to give him a foothold! We must walk in love. Walk in forgiveness. Walk in repentance! 

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now more than ever, we must discipline ourselves.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Set time aside daily to read your Bible and fellowship with Him! Fall back in love with The Lover of your soul! Pray for a hunger and a thirst for His Word; that it may come alive in you! 

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:24-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now, more than ever, make Him the Principle Purpose of your life, for time is short!

Even so - MARANATHA!
