MY FRIENDS, LOOK AT THE WORLD, AND THAN LOOK AT YOUR JOURNEY, WILL YOUR FAITH SURVIVE?

Life, Death, Home, Family, Employment!!! The subject is infinite when we think of one’s problems within the interaction with our day to day life and how we as Christians relate to each situation or circumstances that arises.

But personally the story never ends there, because the God I serve is unlimited, unmeasurable, and infinite, in extent of space and duration of time in regards to what He is capable of doing for me in my life each day. And my friends I hope and pray he is also a infinite God in your daily journey as well.

In Matthew 7:9-11(KJV) it tells us “Which of you, if your son or daughter asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”

I love to study the character of God’s friends, especially the one God calls “a man after my own heart;” He can say this about His friend because “he will do everything I want him to do.” God’s friend is confronted with an option to defend the name of God or stand on the side.

My friends we have choices, but as a child of God a vessel, serving God can be our only choice, if our hope is to finish this journey“ on our way to the promise land. “in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. ”2 Timothy 2:21(KJV) In 1Samuel 17:45 (KJV) David tells Goliath a giant or an obstacle that without prayer, faith and a knowledge of the promises of what God will do and has done in the past he could not have conquered.

In addition, He knew His God would not “leave or forsake him.” So he tells Goliath “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty.

The Psalmist also tells us to, Cast our cares or day to day problems “on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22 (KJV) But today my friends what about your mountains your trials, how far must your Faith be stretched before you realize that our God is a infinite God who has no limits.

In addition, if your desire is to take your Journey with Christ, then you must have the character of Christ and allow Him through His Word and Spirit to take full control of your life. Jesus Christ on Calvary, when taken upon Himself, the full penalty of our sins, recognized the difficulty of the journey before Him.

But it was His humanity that made His journey that was before Him seem impossible, But He stayed focused and prayed more earnestly then ever before, “until his sweat, was like drops of blood, falling to the ground,” and now because of His faith and endurance, our Salvation is assured if we believe.

Psalm 139:7-10 (KJV) tells us “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.”

And because “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? “and because of  God promises and our faith.

“In any and all things we [will be] more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37 (KJV)  So my friends, look at the world, and  than look at your journey, will your faith survive?

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
