Stay strong my brethren!

Job1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man
was blameless and upright, and one who feared God [with reverence] and
abstained from and turned away from evil [because he honored God].
1Sam16:18 One of the young men said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse
the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a brave and competent man, a
warrior, discerning (prudent, eloquent) in speech, and a handsome man; and
the Lord is with him.” Matt11:11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the
Baptist...(AMP)

Do you ever wonder how God sees you, how others see you, and then have to

deal with how you see yourself? There are many in scripture that had great

things said about them and there are some that made mistakes along the way

and still ended up ok. Job, served God no matter what he went through with

honor. David was a man that had great things said about him, made some

mistakes along the way and made it right with repentance. John the Baptist

was a great man in the eyes of Jesus and stayed that way till the end.

Jesus also said, "yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is

greater [in privilege] than he." To be right with God is something that can

be challenging, but through the examples in the scriptures, it can be done,

The battle is fierce, remember, we are fighting from victory, not for

victory. Stay strong my brethren!
