Everything and anything that we do in all of our lives requires for us to work..and work hard at it..if were wanting something bad enough we will strive and go after it..we will lay aside every excuse and reason as to why we can’t..and we will just get up determined that we are and that we can through Christ Jesus our Lord…Amen..for the scripture says that we can do all things through Christ which gives us the strength.Philippians 4:13…we’ve got to renew our minds..for the word says be ye not transformed to the ways of this world but for us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds..Romans 12:2..for we know the word says as a man thinks so is he..Proverbs 23:7..if we think we can…we can..if we think we can’t we can’t…and guys with the Lord we have everything we need..to do whatever it is that we ourselves need to do..like the that man that laid there year after year by the pool of Bethesda the word says that he had and infirmity for 38 years..so the thing was when an angel would come down and stir the waters that whoever stepped into the water first was made whole..and so Jesus ask the man do you want to be made whole?..in other words why haven’t you yet gone down to the water..and the man said I have no man to help me..and there is always someone that gets there before I can..so he in other words was making every kind of excuse as to why he couldn’t…when all the while he already had everything he needed..for he had the Lord..and guys if we have Jesus..we have it all..Amen..for God causes us to rise..just as He did that day with that man..Jesus spoke to him and said arise take up your bed and walk!..And immediately the word says that the man was made whole, and he took up his bed, and walked..John 5:1-15..for the Lord causes His favor to rest upon us and rest on us mightily…just like Ruth in the bible see she needed a harvest..she was in need of food..not only for her but for her mother-in-law, Naomi..and so she prayed and she went out and she started gleaming the fields..and in the midst of that gleaming she found favor in the sight of Boaz..and Boaz owned that field as well as others..he was rich..and he told his workers to leave extra for Ruth…she could’ve found every excuse in the world as to why she couldn’t..considering she lost her husband and she was in a foreign land…but not Ruth she got up determined to get what she needed..and guys she did..Ruth 2:1-23…Amen..for we know that faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..we have to put faith behind our ideas…we have to put feet to them..we can’t just talk and not do..for nothing will get done..God will help us along the way..but we have to be willing to go and do what we need to do..and then we will get accomplished all that needs to be accomplished in our lives..Amen..so today let go of excuses…push through the hard times..and lean on the Lord and walk with Him..and daily do so..taking it one day at a time..doing the very best we can do daily..and we will reach our destinations that were striving to reach..the road may get rocky..it may be windy..but either way…it will lead us to where were striving to be and go in our lives..but we have to do the work..just as everyone else has to do the work to get what their wanting in their lives..so get up and get on board..don’t waste another day throwing around a bunch of excuses..but rather throw them excuses out the window..for with excuses we never will ever get anything done or finished in our lives..and to be what we need to be for the Lord..we have to do what He needs for us to be doing..we will make it and we will finish this race that has been set before us..so let us all get busy..and busy for the Lord..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray.. Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
