ALAS! I almost made it yesterday.
I almost made it through the day without
eating a thing that
anyone could possibly call unhealthy.
Well, it helped that I made it to 4 PM and thenwas busy until 10!
But alas........ I came home.......... "and".
Have you ever been told "Almost is not good enough"?
Maybe it's right... sometimes. But it's more likely to causea sad, defeated heart. So, as I sadly look back upon yesterday,
I remind myself as I remind you....
And I truly think this was a reminder from God:
I have not
given up,
given in,
thrown in a towel,
whatever that means. (a line that would fit a song, come to think...)
Romans 14:5 could be discouraging... telling us that trying to
obey God's Laws is impossible. But there's still Hope.
Here's why: Because we SEEK to please God, as our goal.
God's Supporting Word
First Thessalonians 4:1, NKJV,
"Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that
you should abound more and more, just as you received from us
how you ought to walk >>>>
To Please God. Our Ongoing goal
to give our LORD joy..........
Let us not
give up,
give in,
throw in a towel,
JUST KEEP PRAISING HIM!
PRAYER
LORD GOD, I NEED YOUR HELP. I need Your help. Thank You so much for your mercies that endure.... I pray with Daniel (9: 18),
"O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations...; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.
