Just Do It!

1 Chor 28:20…Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, …

“Just Do It” Taking on new challenges can be exciting, but also a time of trepidation to think of the possibility of failure. Crossing new bridges not knowing what life will bring us on the other side. Going forward, and entering into a new transition of life does not have to be scary. If we know that God is leading, and He is brazing the trail before us, we can hold on to His promises that He will give us the strength and courage to just do it! Life is always changing and sometime those changes are out of our control. We approach each change trusting God to guide and direct our steps. Taking those steps of faith, will not always be easy, but He will not leave us or fail us if we step out in faith and just do it!

A New Name

Rev. 2:17 “...To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it.”

A new name written down in heaven. A white stone signifying purity without spot or blemish of sin. Our nature has been changed, we are no longer the same person. Our lives reflect a new life that is separated from the world. We have left the world of sin behind us and no longer fulfill the lust of the flesh. Our deeds are unto holiness and righteousness. The doctrine of Nicolaitans, a comprise spirit with the world is gone. Our new name means that we now bare the name of Christ. Like Paul who was Saul, our new name will bring honor to Christ and glorify His Name. Christ puts within our heart a new spirit that will sanctify our personality and temper it to be used of God. Who we are does not change, but what we are does. Our new name will reflect a life that desires to please Him and we will seek to do that which is good and holy.
