TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"
Hebrews 12:1
TODAY'S WORD:
Yesterday while visiting with my friend Helen at Kitty Askins I heard some grandparents mention going to see their granddaughter play ball and it inspired me to dig into the word to find scripture to enlighten each of us a bit. God laid this in front of me to share with you.
I grew up playing sports, and I've experienced the difference it makes to have somebody in the stands pulling for you. When you know they're watching you, you hear them calling your name, screaming make em' bleed even when you're a quarterback (Thanks Dad!) you see their hands up in the air; it does something on the inside. It causes you to jump a little higher, throw the perfect pass and run a little faster. You've got a greater determination because you know somebody is rooting for you.
Today, you have a great multitude in heaven cheering you on! They're saying, "You can do it! You're a winner! You are well able, strong and equipped. No weapon formed against you shall prosper!"
No matter what difficulty you may be facing, you always have the home field advantage. You are always surrounded by the voice of victory. Let that sink down deep into your heart today. I come back to this blog after several weeks of being and doing the word for some close friends in our community. I have been rooting for her and her family. Now she is rooting for us from above. I share with each of your reading these words today to let this thought of others in heaven pulling for you build confidence in you and give you the strength you need to keep moving forward into the abundant, victorious life He has prepared for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, open the eyes of my heart. Help me to see the grand stands of heaven cheering me on. Thank You for instilling confidence, power and grace in me so that I can run my race and finish strong! In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
