BELIEVE IN GOD-BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

James 1:4 “DON’T TRY TO GET OUT OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE.”

Some of you may have heard the Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Randy Pausch has been given a few months to live and he is practicing Christian principles (he may not know it) in his time left. This dying man is determined to enjoy the death process by finding joy, contentment and love, along with leaving a legacy in spite of his prognosis.

Whatever Season of Life you are presently in, determine to make the most out of it. BELIEVE IN GOD - BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. I Timothy 4:11-16 says:

“GET THE WORD OUT. TEACH ALL THESE THINGS. DON’T LET ANYONE PUT YOU DOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG (OR OLD). TEACH BELIEVERS WITH YOUR LIFE BY WORD, BY DEMEANOR, BY LOVE, BY FAITH, BY INTEGRITY. STAY AT YOUR POST READING SCRIPTURE, GIVING COUNSEL, TEACHING. AND THAT SPECIAL GIFT YOU WERE GIVEN...KEEP THAT DUSTED OFF…THE PEOPLE WILL ALL SEE YOU MATURE RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES. KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR TEACHING. DON’T BE DIVERTED, JUST KEEP AT IT.” (msg.)

GOD IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW EVEN IF YOU DOUBT IT!

Whether you are alone,
In Despair,
In a painful situation,
In a disastrous relationship
In a fatal prognosis
Whether you have doubt and fear or just lost heart,

GOD HAS HIS HAND ON YOU. LIVE TODAY AS IF IT WAS YOUR LAST.
