Don’t Quit Now

imageStill pondering on the comment, “I don’t care if I lose four out of five fights, I just know the fire is going to come down!” Spoken by a professional fighter from Blackzilians UFC team.  There is so much more to continue from the first writing on, “Win Some and Lose Some.”

How do we speak as Christians during heavy trials? Or just during life itself? Do we speak faith? Do we continue with the same fervor and tenacity?  Hebrew 6:15 says, “so after he (Abraham) had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”  You might think, “What promise?” The promise of blessing and abundant living. Let us think about this. To be honest waiting can be extremely difficult in the midst of a mess. Nobody likes to wait. It is uncomfortable, frustrating, painful at times, unsettling and even disturbing.  But we have to wait [to remain inactive or in a state of repose, as until something expected happens]. The problems is that as we wait, we try to do incorrect things in the interim to ease the feeling of being uncomfortable. To some that could be quite drastic and harmful to our lives. We must be careful.  It takes tremendous strength to wait.  But rest assured that as we wait we actually learn to do the correct things in life in order to obtain the best things that God has for us.

Staircase

image I’m standing at the staircase… I see the only way is up. Why am I just standing there? God wants me to go up, my family wants me to go up and those that love me want to see my climb higher. There are a lot of steps, curves and angles.  It is tiring. No one understands. I once stood in a place where I thought I was higher, stronger, and the biggest conqueror of all. Until I landed flat on my face. God showed me and told me, “Its not about you climbing up the steps, but now its time for you to climb down from the place that YOU took yourself to! I didn’t tell you to go there nor did I lead you there but it was your own way that took you until I stepped in! I had to rescue you and stop you from going any higher into a place that was only disastrous for you!” Continue reading


A Life of Worship

imageSunday~ Our Most Precious Day of Worship.
How important is worship that it is mentioned in the bible 8,629 times {Bible Gateway}.   To worship is to show reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred.  We do this for those that we love such as family or other important relationships.  Perhaps even towards things that we love, we show worship towards. However the Word of God teaches us to worship the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  It teaches us to worship God first and have no other gods before Him as stated in the ten commandments in Exodus Chapter 20.  Worship is an act, it is a choice, it is a behavior that we show towards others.  Worship should be a regular part of a Christian lifestyle.  

Worship is something we can even practice during trying times that will allow us to walk in peace and harmony as the bible states in Ephesians 5:19, “Sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your heart.”  We must choose to worship.  A lifestyle of worship.  To make songs among each other and to make music within our hearts.   Continue reading
