Let's Do Launch

The way we live and pass on a legacy leaves our primary imprint. What is worth cultivating and what needs to be shed? What race are you running? Are you even running in the right race? This race doesn't finish here on earth. The finish tape is the entrance to the everlasting.

Feed Surely On God's Faithfulness and do good.

Keep digging those wells. Don’t let little things like slander or stone-walling prevent you from being who you are and doing what you know you should do. Don't allow arguments to get in the way or discouragement to have a voice. God is biggest.

Mark 4:39 (MSB) Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm. What a beautiful picture. Imagine that moment and stay there briefly.

The steps we take are as significant as the timing. When we seek God, we can trust that even though we don’t yet see the outcome, God is directing our inspiration, each step, and the timing, to complete what He has fashioned us to achieve.

I need to be thinking how I bring the light of Christ wherever I go, into every room. I need to be thinking how I bring the righteousness, peace and joy of God's kingdom into every conversation. I bring the kingdom of God to earth through my words and my conduct.

God’s favour doesn’t go off like a bad apple. It remains. When we seek Him and we trust Him for our choices and actions, we can rest in His goodness for us.

Why is the putting to death of my own desires so pleasing to God? Because without holiness I won’t see Him. He is pleased when sin has no domination over me. When I submit myself to His Spirit I am deciding to kick away from myself whatever it is that separates me from Him.

Learning why Jesus Christ makes all the difference makes all the difference. Our relationship with Him is where the best of our life from.

Building analogies are poignant because we can see life through their construction. Whatever construction type that speaks to you can speak to the way you’re building your own life.

There are many occasions in life where turning point choices are made. We don’t always realise they’re turning point choices until later. So how can we be sure we will make the right choices?

As a garden becomes cultivated, plants become more resistant to disease and are able to withstand exposure to severe weather conditions. No matter how large the cultivated garden grows, however, it is always susceptible to destruction. It never stops needing to be watched over, nurtured and tended.

Plowing encourages our lives to become like good soil that generates beautiful gardens. Though hard work, plowing can be seen as a time for peaceful, profitable work towards great anticipation.

Wrong choices strip beauty from your life. Those mistakes steal years from your life, even decades. It isn’t worth it. What is rich and beautiful, is fortified.

We are like God’s gardens of diversity. Question: What kind of garden does my life produce?

And here at the tomb, an angel had been sent to communicate to them. Come and see. Their Lord was still making Himself accessible to them. He was telling them He wasn't in the tomb. He was alive. He had risen, just as He said.

Praises are a confession of hope and life. Hope and life banish the destructive temperaments that crowd in on our soul and try to drown out our praise. It’s a battle.

If you are one who walks with sorrow, you know that you need another expression to offset its beleaguering results. If you are one who walks with sorrow and you don’t know how to get past it, if you’ve lost your joy, you need to know that you can overcome it.

Sorrow’s closest companion is bitterness. In the book of Ruth, Naomi told her old friends to call her ‘bitter’ because of the sorrows she had endured in life. Her bitter speech came at a time when sorrow was again overwhelming her. Sorrow carries seeds of bitterness and we have to battle against them from taking root.

Solid answers for living through any situation in life can be found in the Bible. Instead of fighting His place in life, it is better to find our place in Him. His Word brings illumination for life, direction, power, and comfort.
