We Can If We Try

At times we can become frustrated with our progress in our walk. We do things we think we should not or say hurtful things to someone and after, we shake our heads and wonder what is wrong with us. The answer is – we are human. That is why we have to try every day to get better. We are going to make mistakes and get things wrong. We are going to struggle with getting ourselves down the road loving people the way we know we should from time to time. But that is one of the reasons we are here, I suggest. This is our proving ground. This is where we try to get things right.

Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

We are working it out. But we are not alone. Our Father is with us, helping us make our way. We will make it if we just refuse to quit!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Bless the name Yahuah! Let us live in Your kingdom. Let us be Your servants. Wash away the evil that still is in our members. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
