Consider Him in Dec 2020

 🕑 12 mins

The author of Hebrew letter mentioned in 12:3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Jesus showed His love to the mankind (Jn 3:16), fulfilment of the Father's Laws/commands to build the everlasting relationship (Mt 5:17) and distributed simplified commandments to the New Testament life (M7 22:37-40). One of the practical lessons that was outlined from His Life was on endurance (the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way) & to consider Him who endured. Hallelujah.

  • The Life Jesus and His first set of apostles lived and went through the unpleasant or difficulties.
  • David said that Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Ps 23:4
  • Paul offered prayer to Colossians (Col 1: 10-11) so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all Power according to His Glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience,...
  • Rom 5:3 says - Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance
  • James said ( 1:2-3) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
  • 1 Peter 5:8 says - Be sober-minded; be watchful & 1 Pt 4:12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you.
  • Apostle John mentions (8:32) And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
  • Psalmist in 100:5 declared, For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever (2020 and beyond), and His faithfulness to all generations.

Father God, help us not to loose heart in the day of distress. Father, Thank you for offering peace and courage in the midst of trials and challenges (in 2020). The troubles we are facing did not catch you by surprise, neither are they outside of your control. Help us to take heart in the midst of our troubles by remembering your finished work. *You are a good and faithful God*, and we Praise you for giving us strength and endurance in 2020 . Help us to consider Your foot steps, place our hope continuously (2020 and beyond), not in the things of this world, but in You and You alone. Like Parable of the Sower confirms that like the seed in the good soil bear fruit with perseverance, help us to preserve the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruits always. As David mentioned that we are declaring that we have set the LORD always before us. Because He is at our right hand, we will not be shaken. Therefore our hearts are glad and our tongues rejoice (Ps 16:8-9), In Jesus's Name, Amen.

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
