FROM TODAY'S READING...
“We have to pray with our eyes on God and not the difficulties.”Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
Psalms 119:18, 37 (NLT) Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions...Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.
Psalm 141:8 (ESV) But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
Hebrews 12:1-4 (NLT) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
