The Cornerstone

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning in shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"  -- Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
 
Is Christ the focus of your life? Are you fired with enthusiasm for Him?  Are you an energized Christian who allows God's Son to reign over every aspect of your day?  Make no mistake: that's exactly what God intends for you to do.
 
God has given you the gift of eternal life through His Son.  In response to God's priceless gift, you are instructed to focus your thoughts, your prayers, and your energies upon God and His only begotten Son. To do so, you must resist the subtle yet powerful temptation to become a "spiritual dabbler."  A person who dabbles in the Christian faith is unwilling to place God above all other things.  Resist that temptation: make God the cornerstone and the touchstone of your life.  When you do, He will give you all the strength and wisdom you need to live victoriously for Him.
 
Lord, You have told us to give thanks always and to rejoice in Your marvelous creation. Let us be joyful Christians, Lord, and let us focus our thoughts upon Your blessings and Your love. Amen
