Deacon’s Corner - Scripture for today's thought:
Hebrews 12:1-3,7,9-11 Jesus, Founder and Perfecter
Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Endure hardship as discipline, God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Isaiah 6:3
And one called to another and said; "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory! Lđźš‚
Fix your eyes on Jesus, run your race of faith with endurance. Let the discipline from God be the joy in your soul. Remember the discipline of your earthly father and what you were taught by him. Keep your feet on a path that is straight and a heart that is pure. Look all around you at the glory of the Lord. Love one another as God loves you. Have a blessed day. Larry
