This Sunday after I went to the morning service I went to Pat's house to join the student dinner which was lovely as I got to talk to some new and old friends as well as getting a Sunday roast meal which I haven't had in a while.
Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"
Put God first! Don't worry about tomorrow and what you would like to see from God but look to him.
This Sunday's morning service was all about being over comers in life and is a follow on from 'Run the race'. There promises in the Bible of the benefits of overcoming;
Revelations 2:7
"Whoever has ears, let them hear what Spirit says to the Churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God"
Revelations 3:21
"To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne."
Isaiah 40:28-31
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
If there is some sin you have fallen into, just remember there is a God of forgiveness and you can renew your strength through the lord.
Judges 16:30
"Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived."
When the Journey is to great just take a break because sometimes everyone needs a break. This will give you time to renew your strength which can happen through God because those who trust in him don't faint or grow weary.
Psalm 73:1-5
"Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from common human burdens."
What's the reason for this?
Why walk with God?
The world is fall of problems, troubles and pain. Sometimes you look upon others who don't walk with God who don't seem to have troubles and pain but remember that walking in the presence of God can give you perceptive on life.
Remember that when you wait upon the lord your strength will be renewed. This reminded me of the song;
'Everlasting God'
No matter what the problem is you will rise above it, like eagles. You are an over-comer and you just need to keep going.
Maybe there are different periods of time when you are flying, running, walking and resting.
Numbers 6:24-26
"The lord bless you and keep you; the lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the lord turn his face towards you and give yo peace."
In this service I came across some new songs;
Praise him in the morning
It is well with my Soul
I also came across some songs that I haven't heard in a while;
My Lighthouse
What a beautiful name
I know I have mention this song many times before on this blog, but we sang this song again and it is such an emotional and inspirational song that I just had to included it;
No longer slaves
