Pressing On! ~ Part A
Soul Snack 30/14 ... Life's daily commentary indicates the times are ever more perilous for a believer. Undue rights are demanded as deceits grow, burdens increase and temptations breed.
Consuming my mind now are these powerful words from the apostle Paul in 1st Corinthians:
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you... (15:58)
Today the prince of the air multiplies his menace, for satan knows his days are very short.
The season is resting upon all who bend low for Jesus to set their sights high, above the air. The trumpet blast sounds, only aim for the Crown of Glory, Righteousness and Life.
No captivity of man can steal this crown.
No crown of man is worth losing heaven's crown for.
This is true - Jesus is a stronghold to weak, a high wall for the vulnerable, and an enemy to your enemy.
Jesus still walks beside those pressing on in faith, despite their tragedies of life. He does not despise the weakened, or the war-torn.
Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Revelation 2:10c)
All crowns fade, except one.
The toil will be easier if we have the profit before our eyes. ~ Bernard of Clairvaux

The quality of the path is no indicator or guarantor to the quality of the destination.
