Our Bodies Have Limits


       The bodies that God has given us are limited. I know I wish I could do more for Christ every day. The need for sleep, nourishment, and rest keeps me from doing more. Some may see those things as weaknesses. It is proven that we can do too much concerning our bodies. Doing too much means working too hard and not taking care of ourselves. All this does is weaken us even further. It causes us to do fewer things well. Our bodies are important. It needs rest and recuperation. Giving it that rest makes us able to operate at our maximum capacity with absolute efficiency.  Jesus even took time to take care of himself. Make sure you are taking time for Godly R & R.


“And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.” Mark 6:31 NKJV

Self- control

Be strong and steadfast. Don't let your feelings and anger rule you. Be careful to keep your wrath from pouring from your mouth. Such things have no business controlling your life. It damages others. It damages you even more! Process your emotions and stay self-controlled.  Glorify God in all you do! :) (Col. 3:17) "A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back." Proverbs 29:11 "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." James 1:19-20 Keep up all the good work! Look for opportunities to serve and spread the Word. Encourage a brother or sister today. :) Gal. 1:3-5

The Core

The center of all things is life.  Our lives can be run by our selfish ambitions or the life that Christ gives. That decision rest in your hands. If your life revolves around you and what you want, then you will be rewarded accordingly. However, if your life revolves around Christ there is a crown of life awaiting you. Who has to get out of the way for this to happen? You do. You have to crucify yourself. You must say “It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me!”  We must enthrone Christ in our lives. Make your life Christ centered.  Start today. “But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:  that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Eph. 4:20-24 "I ha...

Family Light

Make sure your light is always shining no matter what your family is doing. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.   “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV
