Seriously! Get A Grip!

Important advice for daily living.

Advice to reflect upon for today:

Take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Love each other. Be generous with your gifts: words, help, materials, money, possessions, etc.  

Trust God - he knows what he's doing, especially when you don't.  Be content with who and where you are - God's strong hand is upon you; he'll promote you at just the right time. So, keep your guard up and a firm grip on faith; stay out of YOU and stay in HIM.

And remember to turn away from worldly rubbish, it is a waste of your time.  For in due time and in all things, painful or not, God always gets the last word; yes, he does.

-Adapted from 1 Peter chapters 4 & 5  MSG

You are not alone! Don't panic, God is with you.

"...I've picked you.  I haven't dropped you.'

Don't panic. I'm with you.

I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.

...I'm telling you, 'Don't panic.

I'm right here to help you.'

Isaiah 41:8-13 MSG

You have nothing to fear when you step out in faith. You have nothing to fear when you are going through trials of many kinds (+James 1:2-4).  You have nothing to fear when you are God's child.  Just grasp firmly to God and his Word, and remember, God's got you in the palm of his hand (+Is. 49:16) and he will never leave you nor forsake you (+Nehemiah 9:16-19; +Deuteronomy 31:6).

Keep moving forward, don't look back, and live life in boldness, fearlessness, and do whatever it takes to glorify our amazing God.  He's right here with you, every step of the way.

Light ~ Life

“He saved them from a life of oppression,

pried them loose from the grip of the enemy.”

Psalm 106:10

Just one of the million things God does for those that truly give their lives to him.  So, if you haven’t already, now is a great time.  All you have to do is open your heart and ask him to come in – he will, he wants to.    Once you do, a whole new life begins to blossom for you; Jesus comes in and fills your soul with light – LIFE.

Proverbs 3:5-12

Proverbs 3:5-12 The MSG

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
    don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
    he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
    Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
    your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
    give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
    your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
    don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
    a father’s delight is behind all this.
