a craze for the Christian race.

today's worship and sermon spoke to me, immensely.

thank God for the direct encouragement and words that put things into perspective once more.

these are some noteworthy points i took home:
1. Look at Him who is invisible, just like Moses did.
2. Look to the reward at the end, just as Moses did.
3. Look to God.
4. Say no, let go.
5. God pulled me through tough times before (sm and what not), He certainly has the power to do it again and again and again.
6. Continue, persevere, in the midst of worldly pressure, but anchored upon God's sure and saving Word and Work.
7. The situations and experiences I go through, they're just temporal. (thanks bk, for the timely reminder)
8. Look at the bigger picture - on the grander scheme of things, how does my current state weigh against that?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

oh my goodness, i was looking for Matthew 6:33 and guess what followed it:

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34

Live for the audience of One. Jesus commands my destiny.
