Word Wednesday

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying,"God has lost track of me. He doesn't care what happens to me"? Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening? God doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.They spread their wings and soar like eagles,They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.

Isaiah 40:31 (Message)

There are times when our WILL conflicts God's WILL. Whenever we choose our WILL over God's WILL, it WILL not work out! @PastorYPJ

Word Wednesday

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

Romans 5:8 (Message)

Running Back To You

Running... I don't know about you but I don't run just for fun. Outside of exercising, the only time I run is when I'm in a hurry. It's a time when I need something immediately. Yes walking will get me there. However, if I'm running its urgent. It's a right now issue. Can't wait until later. Five minutes late could cause a flight to be missed.

When I hear Lowell Pye - Running Back to You (song of the week posted yesterday) that's what I think about. Running back to God because I can't wait another minute. It's urgent that I get to Him. The situations and circumstances that I'm facing I know I can't handle on my own. Therefore I have to run to safety. Safety being to Jesus. Understanding that I can't go another week, day, hour or minute without any help or hope. So I'm running... running... running...

Understanding that I left God. I doubted God... Turned my back on God... Disobeyed God's word and it was all by choice. Yet now I'm running. Running because I know He can save me. He can forgive me. He can help me. He can lead me. So I'm running... Running to His arms opened wide. Embracing me. With all my faults He still loves me. With my dirty hands & feet He will hold me. He will cleanse me. He will give me a new name. Child of the Most High King sounds correct. Daughter...Son...Friend.... I hear Him calling me. So I'm running.

Running because I can't make it on my own. I've tried it and even with success I'm still nothing without God. I'm empty. My hardships are unbearable without God. My future is dark without God. So I'm running... Living a life by the world's standards was fun but then then the light turned on. I'm digging my own way to hell. So I'm running because I want to be right. I want to be made whole. I want to live a life pleasing to God's sight. So I'm running because without His love, grace, mercy, favor & forgiveness I won't make it. Can't you see this is urgent... It can't wait... My life depends on this. If I wait to long my chance could be gone... so I'm running... I'm running.... I'm running... Lord I'm running back to you...

A lot of people lost work today. All the ppl that WORKED on my nerves are officially unemployed, Laid off, & Prayed off! @PastorYPJ

It's not too late to accomplish everything that God has placed in your heart. God is about to release His favor. Receive it today! @joelosteen

Holiness isn't about external attire, it's about internal desire. A desire 2plz God. Grace isn't a pass 2sin again, its a pass 2begin again. @PastorYPJ

if u saw somebody put rims on a rental car or redecorate a hotel room you'd think they were crazy cause none of that stuff belongs 2 them.. we stay frustrated cause we keep trying 2 make temporary things eternal. none of this belongs 2 us. this ain't home. u r more than a job.. more than a paycheck. youre not a human doing- you're a human being. music is what I do. it is NOT who I AM. @kirkfranklin

You can still get there — you’ve still got what it takes to make it.#bishopjakes @BishopJakes

So many people think Grace is liberty to sin when in fact Grace is power to Live right! #justsayin @Keetwit

Love relationships require full time effort. Part time investment will never yield full benefits. #FB @drthema
