1 John 4:19 KJV
19 We love him, because he first loved us.

This morning prepare your heart for worship. Begin to think on why you love Jesus. Continue to worship and praise God, lift your hands in praise. This morning worship is why do people after years still worship and love Jesus. Those of us who have receive Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior know why we still praise Jesus. We know the battle cry of our heart that needs our Savior to lead in the battle field. We go somewhere not knowing what may lie ahead. Our Savior give us his preprotection and warning but we do know the reason for the warning until we are truly face with the situation that comes our way. I will be truthful that battle itself can be scary and all the ways one would normally act just did not happen. Instead the Holy Spirit even keeps the tears that should flow and did not. You realize all the things that could happen did not happen because the power of the Holy Spirit protection. Now your faced with a new situation you can plainly see and you know you should say Lord take me through it and where are those words of faith. The believer shows their humanity in facing unpleasant situations. We realize we must learn to pray and to give him praise for all he will do because we ask him.

The journey of faith comes with experience and not walking in the path with asking God to remove the rock, and enable you to run the obstacle course of the pathway of faith.

My husband and I are Ninjah Warrior fans and as the contenders face the course my husband usually decides with in a few seconds if the person is going to fail before completing the course. Often the arm strength fizzled if they do not slip and fall before getting to the upper body part of the course. I know if I tried I would not make it to the upper body part. Jesus is the one in the obstacle course of faith that going to enable you to not only run the race but is going to prepare you to win the race of faith. We praise and worship him for it is his grace and mercy in that race. We find we love him for that preparation but for each line we cross we stop and praise God for the part of achievement of our race Jesus already had the victory in our life if we received him as Lord and Savior. We know the Spirit of God sees ahead of us and our immediate need at the moment of our struggles.

Those baby Christians take flight remember when you are weak he is strong because he loves you and not only you but me. God first loved us and sent his son to die for a debit we owed and rose up in victory so we have eternal life. That we know if he could bare his cross he will help us carry our cross as we follow his Father's will. It okay to fail it not okay to quit when the Spirit of God will go before us. His power before us by his Spirit.

Dear Heavenly Father we love you because you go before us in the journey that ahead of us. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
