Grace for your spirit. February 9, 2012

Grace for your spirit
As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. So Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you? Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. John 6:66-68

There is no other person to walk with besides Jesus. He helps our walk to strengthen us. Most of us are familiar with the poem "Footprints in the Sand." The story tells how Jesus carries us in our troubled times. There is another little known poem called, "Buttprints in the Sand." It says that Jesus does carry us, but there comes a time when we need to put forth a little effort on our own. The poems ends this way; "You disobeyed you would not grow. The walk of faith you would not know. So I got tired, I got fed up, and there I dropped you on you butt. Because in life there comes a time, when one must fight and one must climb. When one must rise and take a stand. Or leave their butt prints in the sand." Let's thank Jesus for the lift, but at the same time let's strengthen ourselves to stand firm against the evils of sin. Let's use His strength so at some point we can walk worthy of our calling in Christ. If we don't, someday we too may quit walking with Him in unbelief, as many have before us.


The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
