Disappointments will be overcome in anticipation of continued discernment

Positive Power Card;Failure is not defeat until you have stopped trying

1Co 9:24-27 GW
(24) Don't you realize that everyone who runs in a race runs to win, but only one runner gets the prize? Run like them, so that you can win.
(25) Everyone who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training. They do it to win a temporary crown, but we do it to win one that will be permanent.
(26) So I run-but not without a clear goal ahead of me. So I box-but not as if I were just shadow boxing.
(27) Rather, I toughen my body with punches and make it my slave so that I will not be disqualified after I have spread the Good News to others.

Paul uses this above illustration to highlight the fact that Christianity is hard work. a Christian must avoid certain things and prepare him/herself for onslaughts against our believe in the Good News. We need to therefore focus and grow in faith by regular bible studies, prayer and worship and ultimately grow in an intimate relationship with GOD. We know what we are destined for eternal life, so focus on that goal, never give up, never falter, rely on the grace of GOD to maintain your faith in him.

Gal 6:7-9 GW
(7) Make no mistake about this: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever you plant is what you'll harvest.
(8) If you plant in the soil of your corrupt nature, you will harvest destruction. But if you plant in the soil of your spiritual nature, you will harvest everlasting life.
(9) We can't allow ourselves to get tired of living the right way. Certainly, each of us will receive everlasting life at the proper time, if we don't give up.

We live in the light, are GOD's children, are Believers with an positive attitude towards faith. I therefore translated the negativeness in the card into a Spiritual positive view; Disappointments will be overcome in anticipation of continued discernment

failure = disappointment, defeat = overcome, until = in anticipation of, stopped=continued & trying= discernment. Discernment =
1. The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment. or
2. Keenness of insight and judgment.

Therefore,

Be open to testimony's discussions and the like. However receive it in good judgement i.e. always ask for the Holy Spirit to quide you. Trust in Jesus Christ to assist you in all your needs, trust in GOD as he knows all of you. I trust and pray that Thys will next week enlighten us as to the Holy Spirit's working in our daily thoughts and doings.

GOD BLESS!
