My site had a database issue this morning and I so I redirected some of my valuable morning time to fixing that issue, instead of writing down the great thoughts in my head. Oh well, I’ll save those for next week and you can enjoy this little gem the comes out of one of my favorite chapters which belongs to one of my favorite Bible books. It’s a good one.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 NIV
Today is the only May 2, 2013 that you will ever have. It’s an interesting thing to consider how you will spend your time marking that occasion.
My bit of advice – don’t spend the day with Swamp Feet!
You can’t find firm footing in a swamp, but life rooted in God stands firm. (Proverbs 12:3 MSG)
This morning I have stared at the words the Christ said to his boys when he walked across the water to meet their boat. Ok, yes, I know that sentence is pretty amazing and terrifying. And that’s why he said this to them
Take Courage! It is I, Don’t be afraid. Mark 6:50
That’s even more awesome. How can that be more awesome than walking on water? It’s contains more awesomeness because he still speaks those words to us today. He says “hey bro, I got your back, I am your wing-man, don’t be afraid.” Who would not want to take on any challenge with someone like that at your side?
So today, as you conquer meetings, and vanquish the foes of hard relationships. As you deal with illness, and children that are stretching their wings. As you maneuver the river of life, remember those words and that he is right with you!
Take Courage!
