Knocked down? One day we will ascend and be with God as did Jesus. Mark 16

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

What happens when you get knocked down? Do you lay there, do you feel sorry for yourself? Do you have a pity me party? You get back up and go forth.

Jesus and the disciples were knocked down, but did they stay. No! They rose again to teach the true word of God. We have times in our lives when we get knocked down and we need to look up toward the heavens, thank God for all we have, and keep focused on Him, GOD!

We must keep the course, stay the race, and once we have finished the race then what? Just like the song - THEN WHAT? Being a Christian, we will ascend as Jesus did to be in heaven with our heavenly father. TA family in Colorado, 12 in the family, and lost 6 - the father and 5 children - was involved in a car wreck. The wife and rest of the family are sadden at the loss, but they are staying focused on God and God's vision for them. This we must do also.

Stay focused on God, on Jesus, letting the Spirit dwell within! We, the people of the church age, must allow the Spirit to dwell within and lead us.
Tragedies happen all around us, what or which one is the most important? They all are. We should pray for each one and the ones closest to you will be the bigger burden on your heart. Take your burdens now, go to bended knee, and tell God about your burden, let go. It is all in God's hands.

You, Me, We all HAVE TO BELIEVE! Believe what? GOD IS IN CONTROL! Love you all. Christ's ascension is in Mark 16.

In Christ's Love and Grace
