Encouragement 2 Corinthians 4:16

Good morning everyone!!!! I hope your day is going wonderful in the Lord! Yes, is good all the time, God and all the time, God is good. Yesterday we visited with about flattery, and what it does. Today, encouragement or we could say praise. 2 Corinthians 4:16 WE DO NOT LOSE HEART. EVEN THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING, YET THE INWARD MAN IS BEING RENEWED DAY BY DAY. Now, stop and reread this verse. What is this saying to you? To you? To me, it says be encouraged, keep the faith, don't forget Jesus who lives in your heart. Okay.....sooooo? Well, we know, that once we are born we will spend every breathing moment of our life working toward death of the physical man. Our body grows from weak (infant) to strong (child hood) to strongest (our prime 20's-40's) then after our peak we begin the process going back (50's to 60 something) past our prime and sliding down hill again, until one day we just up and die. Our physical being is on a ride and all the pleasures of the world are tempting because that is where our physical body lives. But it says: 'yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.' What????? What do you mean??Very Simple! Each day when we study our Bible, read a Bible passage or devotional, tell someone about Jesus our inward man is being renewed. How wonderful is this!!!! Isaiah 40:31 "THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY; THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT." Psalm 73:"MY FLESH AND MY HEART FAIL; BUT GOD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER." John 16:33 "JESUS SAID, THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD." Hey.......this is the word, I cannot say it any better than Jesus. As we say down south........it don't get no better than that!!!! Stop, Drop, and Pray..........love you allIn Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
