Remember and take heart, discipline of Jesus…

“His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.” Psalm‬ ‭147‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

When you are weak, HE is ALWAYS strong!

“The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭28‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.” Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Jesus said “Abide in me”. … God, through the finished work of Jesus, made that possible.

“For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.” Psalm‬ ‭92‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Follow Him.
Abide in Him.
Love.

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalm‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

May the Lord bless you and give you fresh hope every day! God is still God through difficult times. Always…

Visiting our grandson’s school today, we sang a great hymn in chapel. Holy, Holy, Holy.

I have always loved this hymn.

I just read this:

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word. -J.C. Ryle

Love that.

And this⬇️

“Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise; then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules. I will keep your law continually, forever and ever, and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love. I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.” Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭41‬-‭48‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

How will I make time to set my mind on Christ daily?

What is one weight that I might think and pray about laying aside?

What person could I talk to about my need to lay aside a weight or sin?
