\u201cMy sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.\u00a0\u00a0I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.\u00a0\u00a0My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.\u00a0\u00a0I and the Father are one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInto your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joh 9:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. \u00a0And his disciples asked him, \u201cRabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?\u201d \u00a0Jesus answered, \u201cIt was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.\u00a0We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.\u00a0As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 9:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God.<\/p>\n

Luke 13:2<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And he answered them, \u201cDo you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way?\u00a0\u00a0No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.\u00a0\u00a0Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem?\u00a0\u00a0No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acts 4:21<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 16:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 26:12<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0O LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done for us all our works.<\/p>\n

As much as we want to think we are in control and have it altogether, we do not. \u00a0We make plans, we do this and that many times without giving God a second thought. \u00a0While living this side of eternity our culture can convince us we don’t need God everyday. \u00a0In fact we might not even give Him a thought. \u00a0Satan would love nothing greater than to have us neglect God and become complacent in our walk with Him. \u00a0Our purpose is to humbly serve, honor, follow, and obey Him. \u00a0With this our purpose this side of eternity how is it possible if we neglect to seek Him, desire Him, listen for His whispers of guidance, and spend time in His word. \u00a0It is not possible and without placing God first in all we do, all the time, we live a lie serving only ourselves. \u00a0How do we encourage others in their walk if we do not start first with all our heart, mind and soul seeking Him. \u00a0Spend time in His word and listen for His whispers of guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
