Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KJV 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

What will really matter at the end of your life on earth?

Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then?

Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did – or didn’t do?

Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies.

It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time.

1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 NIV 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

Run to win. Win what?

The true prize is to know God intimately and be His friend.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

One day, possibly soon, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that “final reckoning?”

A wise person would not invest everything in something temporary. A wise person invests in something that will last.

Invest your life wisely!

SAY THIS: Lord, help me to keep my eyes on what is important and lasting.

Life Can Be Tough

JOHN 16:33 ICB 33 “I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” Jesus never promised us that everything would be perfect here on earth. He recognized that we would encounter trouble. But His instructions were to be of good cheer – not to let it get us down. As we encounter difficulties in life, it will help us to remember the big picture. First, God is our Father and has a wonderful eternal plan for us. We are His children and He loves us. Second, this time is but a training period for our future life with God. We are supposed to be learning to trust God and to obey Him. So, every problem we ever face is an opportunity to walk in faith and please God. Every problem is an opportunity to overcome with God’s help. How can we expect to receive the blessings promised to the overcomer if we never have anything to overcome? What is the answer when we seem overwhelmed with trouble? Look to Jesus. He...

Repent Means Change Your Beliefs

MATTHEW 4:17 NKJ 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The word “repent” as used in the New Testament, means to have a change of thinking, which results in a change of action. Repent does not mean to ask forgiveness. You could ask for forgiveness all day and never repent. Repent does not mean to have regret, remorse, or sorrow. You could be remorseful, full of sorrow, and regret greatly what you have done, yet never repent. Repent does not mean to “shape up” and “live right.” Of course, the right kind of repentance should cause your actions to change so that you will be living right. But repent does not mean “to live right.” It is even possible to quit a sin without repenting. People can quit a sin (at least temporarily) for many reasons. For example, the danger of being caught. That does not mean they have changed their thinking regarding the sin. Repentance has to do with your beliefs, not primarily your actions. Do ...
