When life has dealt a stack of cards laden with liabilities, and situational valleys of despair which seem insurmountable, it would behoove us to stay on the narrow path of righteousness, and stay in the light.
When the blows keep coming rapidly at us, one after the other, or times appear overwhelmingly difficult, praise His glorious name through it all, and believe and realize He is with you always.
The faith-filled followers, who labor and serve our Father, are going to be able to pull through with Him in their corner, no matter what. Even if the “giant” in our lives is suffocating our senses and numbing our vision in the word…that’s when it’s of prime importance to continue steadfast in the promises of God.
Pour on the “truth” continue to be bold in the furtherance of His Doctrine and apply the Gospel to those who might otherwise not be aware of what He is all about. For if we only share the “good news” when we are of ” good times” what significance will that be for those who aren’t acquainted with His word, or His love? We must clearly define and provide a way to show how “rooted” we are in our belief and His promises.
Set an example in all aspects of our lives giving Him all the glory, and in Christ we will have the victory, through His grace, and His omnipotence…always.
Feed the truth, feed the people the Word of God— not by “pushing” or “preaching”— but by gentle guidance, and forebearance in temperament, and tone, whereby granting the buds of their “mind” to open up to the beauty of the Word. God will grant us the wisdom through His grace, to “lead, guide and touch” as we go forward in His commandments and Doctrine of faith, in Jesus Christ’ name.
When we give praise and glory to God in good times and bad, and sing His praises without ceasing, irrespective of our circumstances, it provides a powerful confirmation and affirmation to both those of faith, and those who are “babes” in the Word, and those who have never been introduced to God.
His Word, His truth, His love…all consuming, all powerful, and the epitome of His Holy provision of magnificent inner peace. What an honor to be a child of the only living God and be a vessel and witness to His Word… Amen.
Praise God and Hallelujah..

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine
