Some Things I Have Been Reading

I was reading out of GRACE FOR THE MOMENT Inspirational Thoughts for Each Day of the Year by Max Lucado, and I just wanted to share a couple things that I found interesting.

A Place of Permanence

You've been there. You've escaped the sandy foundations of the valley and ascended his grand outcropping of granite. You've turned your back on the noise and sought his voice. You've stepped away from the masses and followed the Master as he led you up the winding path to the summit....
Gently your guide invites you to sit on the rock above the tree line and look out with him at the ancient peaks that will never erode. "What is necessary is still what is sure," he confides. "Just remember:
"You'll go nowhere tomorrow that I haven't already been.
"Truth will still triumph....
"The victory is yours...."
The sacred summit. A place of permanence in a world of transition.

The LORD will always lead you. ---Isaiah 58:11

Four Habits Worth Having

Growth is the goal of the Christian. Maturity is mandatory. If a child ceased to develop, the parent would be concerned, right?...
When a Christian stops growing, help is needed. If you are the same Christian you were a few months ago, be careful. You might be wise to get a checkup. Not on your body, but on your heart. Not a physical, but a spiritual.
May I suggest one?...
Why don't you check your habits?... Make these four habits regular activities and see what happens.
First, the habit of prayer.... Second, the habit of study.... Third, the habit of giving.... And last of all, the habit of fellowsip.


"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." ---2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
