It Is I!

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!

Content Whatever the Circumstances

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and today I believe that is so true.  Take a look at this picture a friend of mine shared on Facebook.  It’s from the Tough Mudder, which is dubbed “probably the toughest event on the planet”.  The new phenomenon is a set of extremely grueling obstacle courses, and this is the one of the latest endurance events that has swept the nation.  But anyway, here’s the picture from Tough Mudder. ‘Nuf said.

 10-14I’m glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you’re again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. I don’t mean that your help didn’t mean a lot to me—it did. It was a beautiful thing that you came alongside me in my troubles. Philippians 4:10-14 The Message (MSG)
