Looking to Jesus

Even as school begins to speed up , homework starts piling up, O levels results looming in the not so far future....

Distractions discouragement, sickness, tiredness..... spiritual attacks



Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Hebrews 12:1-2Therefore, 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. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

We need to focus on Jesus and persevere .
Pray unceasingly for God to empower us, and let us not forget to spend quiet time with God

...throw off anything that may drag us down, including sin

.....Even as these distractions come... let us continually Fix our Eyes on Jesus

as this hymn goes

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the Light of His glory and grace


Let us be bold and go forth to do what God has called us to do , to reach out for the lost.

Let us be the light that Shines for Him


In His Love
Emil
