1.31.2009

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross...

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed...

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel...

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.

--from the 12th chapter of Hebrews

May the God of all PEACE fill you with HIS peace, that surpasses understanding this morning. May you have word of HIS UNFAILING LOVE for you and your child. May you not fear bad news but hold on to the promise that God's steadfast love and faithfulness never ends. May you trust in the father of the fatherless as your hope and the hope of your child's salvation both in this world and beyond. May you never forget that, no matter what happens today, your life and the lives of your children were bought by an amazing Savior who has walked into this storm before you and is preparing each step for you.

STEP IN THE FOOTPRINTS THAT HE HAS ALREADY MADE, trusting that, if there are more to come, He will carve those out for you as well!

Blessed be YOUR NAME oh Lord, this day and all days because YOU NEVER CHANGE and your heart for orphans and your people is trustworthy and kind. You want only our good and are working all things for that end. Be GLORIFIED in all that has happened this day and in our praises for the days to come.

You're on my heart today.
