2020 Hit Everyone

2020 Hit Everyone

On November 22, 1986, Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of all time.  His fame ultimately deteriorated to infamy, which makes one of his most famous quotes so poignant because it’s autobiographical.  He said, and it’s often been repeated with variance, “Everybody has a plan until they get hit.”  The year 2020 began with a lot of plans until we got hit. (1)

2020 has been a tough year for many. Each one has felt the effects of this traumatic time. However, as we enter August, what does it mean for Christians?

The words of Jesus from Matthew 6.34 come to mind every week, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

While each of us know these words, in times like the current, these words might be hard to comprehend.  It is important that we remember Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13.8). He has sat down at the right hand (Hebrews 12.2) has not left us to fend for our own, but made a way for us to access the Father (1 Timothy 2.5).

God wants to hear from you, and we need to communicate with Him (Luke 18.1). Even when we do not know what to say (maybe in a time like this) His spirit intercedes for us with groanings too strong for words (Romans 8.26).

While we may have had a plan for 2020, our plans probably changed. Remember, just because our plans may have changed, our citizenship in Heaven should have not changed (Philippians 3.20).

Let each of us talk to our Father and approach Him knowing that His Son has made a way for us. May we be blessed.

Nine Promises to Keep You Motivated

Nine Promises to Keep You Motivated

Promises!

We all love them. We really loved kept promises.

Have you ever experienced a broken promise?

A broken promise hurts. A broken promise can cut very deep, wounding our soul, spirit and outlook.

However, a kept promise gets us motivated to continue forward. Even knowing that a promise made by a caring, honest and promise-keeping person pushes us in the direction we need to go. It is motivation. It is a fuel to continue.

Below are Nine Bible Promises to give you some motivation to keep going forward.

Enjoy.

Nine Promises to Keep You Motivated

  1. The Promise of a Gift— “But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” (Ephesians 4.7; ESV)
  2. The Promise of the Son — “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” (Luke 2.29-32; ESV)
  3. The Promise of the Spirit — “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (Romans 8.26; ESV)
  4. The Promise of God — “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13.5; ESV)
  5. The Promise of a Rainbow — “When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9.16; ESV)
  6. The Promise of a Crown — “Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4.8; ESV)
  7. The Promise of Cleansing — “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1.7; ESV)
  8. The Promise of Forgiveness — “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you…” (Matthew 6.14; ESV)
  9. The Promise of Heaven — “And this is the promise that he made to us–eternal life.” (1 John 2.25; ESV)
