Quote of the Day:
“The difference in winning and losing is most often…not quitting.” ~Walt Disney
Scripture of the Day: Luke 9:62
But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
Today’s Scheduled Bible Reading: Psalm 119
Take the time to read this. Yes, it’s the longest chapter in the Bible but you will be inspired to keep going onward and upward.
Word of the Day:
If you took time to read today’s Scripture of the Day then you probably felt the weight of the words Jesus spoke regarding looking back. I believe the implication here is more than simply looking back. Jesus is warning us not to turn our back on Him. While it’s true that Jesus will never leave us or forsake us, many people walk away from Him. Being a Christian isn’t easy, especially in today’s American culture. Stay strong. Don’t quit. Don’t walk away. Apostle Paul reminded us to forget what’s behind and focus on the goal. You’re not defined by your past. This is a new year! Let’s focus on Christ.
