Warm Fuzzy Wednesday to you Meg!

My warm fuzzy huge Doberman “puppy” is at my feet as I am typing. He’s asleep, my favorite thing for him to do! LOL.

He will be one year old on the 26th. We have only had him 4 months of that year though. He is behaving better than before, but has a ways to go.

He has “grown” on us, and he’s staying with us for good...unless he eats my piano or the bench. LOL.

Warm Fuzzy Wednesday Greetings to ALL!

[MEG33]

NO! not the piano or bench LOL
Hope your pup has a great birthday.
;o)

Pups birthday is one day before my husband’s. That makes it easy to remember the date. Husband will turn 50. Not sure what gift to get him. Taking suggestions from Amy’s Place! A bottle of Geritol perhaps? If they still make that? LOL.

A Word For The Struggler
August 21, 2014

Read: Hebrews 10:32-39

Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. —Hebrews 10:35

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 107-109; 1 Corinthians 4

There is an old adage that says, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” It’s wise not to take on more responsibilities than we can handle. At some time, however, we will likely feel overwhelmed by the size and difficulty of a task we have agreed to do.

This can happen even in our walk of faith in Christ when our commitment to God seems too much to bear. But the Lord has an encouraging word for us when our confidence wavers.

The writer of Hebrews urged his readers to recall the courage they demonstrated during the early days of their faith (10:32-33). Despite public insults and persecution, they aided believers in prison, and they joyfully accepted the confiscation of their own property (vv.33-34). With that in mind, he says, “Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise” (vv.35-36).

Our confidence is not in ourselves but in Jesus and His promise to return at just the right time (v.37).

It is God’s power that enables us to continue in our journey of faith. Recalling the Lord’s faithfulness in days past stirs our confidence in Him today.

When life becomes a heavy load,
An upward climb, a winding road,
In daily tasks, Lord, let me see
That with me You will always be. —D. DeHaan

Trusting God’s faithfulness stirs up our confidence.

Insight

Severely opposed and persecuted, Jewish Christians were pressured to abandon Christianity and to revert to Judaism. The unnamed writer of Hebrews encouraged them to continue in the faith by affirming the preeminence, superiority, and sufficiency of Christ through His person and position (Heb. 1–4) and His work of propitiation (chs. 5–10). He also warned them against rejecting Christ (2:1-3; 3:7-15; 6:4-6). Here, in his final exhortation, he reminded them of their exemplary faithfulness in enduring the mistreatments thus far (10:32-34) and of the great reward that would be theirs if they persevered (vv.35-36). He was confident that they would succeed (v.39).
