“This is what holy living means – the dedication of as much as I possess, to as much as I know of the will of God for me.” – Frederick Coutts (Essentials of Christian Experience)
In THE greypower MAGAZINE (March 2010) I am reading:
“The Prime Minister says…”
“The Opposition Leader says…”
It is all about Superannuation.
In the BBLE, the word of God I am reading:
“Thus says the Lord;…” again and again.
Isaiah 30:15: “This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: ‘In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,…'” (NIV)
Here we are told about our salvation and our strength. In order to get salvation we must repent and rest.
And how do we become strong? We must be quiet and we must trust.
John 11:40: “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” (Authorized Version)
Here we are told what we must do to see the glory of God. Do you want to see the glory of God? Just believe!
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.” – John 14:6 (Authorized Version)
Do you want to come to the Father? It is only possible by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the life. He is the truth. And he is the only way!
“Father and son proud owners of Sovereign Panel and Paint,” says the article. (Parts Press – Mitsubishi Motors – Issue 24)
The son followed in his father’s footsteps as an apprentice in the auto repair industry straight out of school.
“Follow in the footsteps of the rich and famous at one of these islands in Queensland.” That is the beginning of the article called “TOP 5 ISLANDS FOR HOLLYWOOD ROMANCE.” (Let’s Travel, Issue 14, October-November 2011)
What an encouragement!
I follow in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ. Can I encourage you to do the same. The Lord Jesus Christ left us an example.
If we want to find rest for our souls we must take the yoke of the Lord upon us and learn from him. The Lord is gentle, the Lord is humble.
To follow the Lord means to deny ourselves, to take up our cross and follow him.
We should also do what the Lord has done for us. He has set us an example.
The Lord Jesus is the apostle and the high priest and we must fix our thoughts on him.
The Lord endured the cross and scorned its shame. We are encouraged to fix our eyes on him. Why? Because he is the author of our faith. He is also the perfecter of our faith.
I am a child of God and I want to follow in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ!
