We all struggle somehow with something not good – be they sin or “just” bad habits. Many of us, with our feet of clay, continue standing on miry clay – which makes us fall. Slippery place to stand! What’s with that?
You could have had a gold one
Are you at work for the victor’s crown? James 1:12. Or wasting time sittin’ on the dock of the bay?
I’ve got that peace that passes understanding
There is nothing like that “peace that passes understanding” (Philippians 4:4-7). And it’s mine! Because Jesus saved me.
“This is a fight we’re in”
“This is a fight we’re in.” This is not a walk in the park. This experience of living on earth is a test. That’s how the Bible puts it. I do not plan to arrive at the pearly gates with my clothes burning and smokin’! I’m a workin’ more on myself. Got a lot to do still!
Jesus rewards the good life
How you live your life is your choice. But, Jesus rewards the good one. It’s a fight – to live right. But the reward is eternally worth it.
Romans 8:1 and John 5:24
“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
