TODAY’S LESSON: AIM HIGH
I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE
OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
PHILIPPIANS 3:14
IN TODAY’S SOCIETY IT’S OFTEN DIFFICULT
TO SEE PAST THE END OF YOUR NOSE
LET ALONE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
YET THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD WANTS US TO DO.
AND TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES,
LEST AT ANY TIME YOUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED
WITH SURFEITING, AND DRUNKENNESS, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, AND SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.
LUKE 21:34
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT WE ARE TO
KEEP OUR EYES ON JESUS.
LOOKING UNTO JESUS
THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH;
WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM
ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME,
AND IS SET DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD.
HEBREWS 12:2
THAT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HEAR AND NOW?
WELL, IT’S LIKE THIS:
FORGET THE PAST(YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT)
AND GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES;
AND THEY SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH,
NEITHER SORROW, NOR CRYING,
NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY MORE PAIN:
FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY.(AMEN!!!)
REVELATION 21:4
FOCUS ON THE PRESENT(TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME)
TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT FOR THE MORROW:
FOR THE MORROW SHALL TAKE THOUGHT
FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF.
SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF.
MATTHEW 6:34
LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE
(GOD'S ALREADY THERE, NO NEED FOR YOU TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW)
WHITHER I GO, THOU CANST NOT FOLLOW ME NOW;
BUT THOU SHALT FOLLOW ME AFTERWARDS.
JOHN 13:36b
OK, I CAN DO THAT, BUT WHAT IF I GET STUCK?
HEY, IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
AFTER ALL,
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD;
ROMANS 3:23
LET’S PRETEND THAT WE’RE BUILDING A HOUSE AND WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT: NO LOOSE BOARDS OR JAGGED EDGES;EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT, RIGHT DOWN TO THE LAST NAIL.
SO, WHERE DO WE GO FOR THE ANSWERS?
THE BUILDING CODE
IN REALITY THAT HOUSE IS OUR BODIES
AND THE BIBLE IS OUR BUILDING CODE.
I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE, BRETHREN, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, THAT YE PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE,
HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD,
WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE.
AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD:
BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND,
THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD,
AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD.
ROMANS 12:1-2
BUT AS YOU WELL KNOW,
EVERY HOUSE NEEDS A FIRM FOUNDATION.
THAT’S JESUS!
HE’S OUR FIRM FOUNDATION.
NEVERTHELESS THE FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE,
HAVING THIS SEAL, THE LORD KNOWETH THEM ARE HIS.
AND, LET EVERY ONE THAT NAMETH THE NAME OF CHRIST
DEPART FROM INIQUITY.
II TIMOTHY 2:19
