July 26, 2018

Our message last weekend at LF was so powerful - I’ve heard people say over and over that it was exactly what they needed for specific situations they are facing.
That is the power of the Bible - the anointed Word of God. Its words speak directly into our souls as we read and study them. Its truth is what keeps me focused as we move toward learning more about my health situation! 
The quote below is from today’s devo; reading this in conjunction with our weekend message - wow!! In multiple ways and through multiple people, God is saying don’t quit, but persevere!
“Between any trial and the blessing that comes from that trial, there is a pathway we must walk — that pathway is perseverance. Perseverance means having an urgency, firmness, resolve, and consistency. And, while the joy of the blessing may seem a long way off, signposts or mile markers of joy line the way. These will help us persevere with resolve and consistency if we ‘consider’ them. - Lysa TerKeurst
“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 12:1-3 ESV
“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
