by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, October 2006~Volume 6, Number 7 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”—Hebrews 12:1–3
Life can be called a journey, a path, or a race. We Christians are embarking on an adventure and sometimes we start to feel weary. Discouragement takes a toll on us and we begin fainting. This excellent passage in Hebrews offers some practical encouragement on how to stay focused in the race. Let’s dig in and see what we find by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, May 2004~Volume 4, Number 2 Six year old Grace slowly skipped out of the house thinking about her mother’s last words. Today was to be a great day. She was to meet her friend Betsy at the little country store. They were to walk on the road for awhile, then make a sharp turn onto the little path that made way deeper into the woods.
by Mrs. Cheryl S from Virtuous daughters, November 2005~Volume 5, Number 8 Darling Virtuous Daughters,
I write this to you with a concern in my heart that there might possibly be some of you thinking something like this, “I don’t need to read the articles on pride, because I don’t have a problem with that.” But, dear girls, don’t think for a second that you are immune to pride. We can all be tempted to think prideful thoughts, and if left unchecked, they will turn into prideful attitudes. I believe pride can bring much pain and sorrow to those around us, particularly those in our family. With the help of the Lord, however, it can be overcome in our lives. |
