Hebrews 6:12

Being lazy is a common denominator between people. Comfort zones is equal to: no risk, no fear, no faith, etc. We can always find laziness in comfort zones; there is no strive for something more, no hunger for something new, and no desire to accomplish new dreams. Lazy minds draw an imaginary line that limits actions. Actions that would take someone out of their satisfaction. It seems that most of the people are swept into monotonous lives, were they have stopped living and just continue each day surviving. 

We have one call in God’s kingdom, and that is: to make disciples. We need to be careful to not fall into comfort zones. We don’t stop when we have reached certain number of challenges, or when we obtain something we wanted. That imaginary line should be erased of our minds. In His kingdom there is always work to do, but we need to be in Him to know what is next. 

As we fix our eyes in what is eternal and not what is from this earth, we are going to start living with no fear and more confident that everything shall pass away. There won’t be any checkpoint, just heaven. Let it be the eternal things and love for others what move us to keep working in His will. There are transit signals and other cars on roads, drivers must pay attention on both of these. We need to pay attention in our life race as well. Who are we looking at in our lives? For sure God places people in our way so that we can learn and hear from them, but He also has these people in His word. People like Abraham, he was promised a son and multitudes of descendants. Abraham waited and didn’t fell in despair. 

We have the ultimate promise of eternal life, but there would also be promises in this earth from God to our lives. Promises that without faith and patience can’t be obtained.  I can find myself as a lazy person in certain areas of my life; have had several goals but I have stopped in the middle of the way. I am tired of not accomplishing things; but most tired of not following Jesus in the right way. Now I read his word and have a daily relationship with Jesus, so that I can be encouraged to take leaps of faith ever day and be able to have in my hands what He has promised. 

Application:

Wake up at 5:30 am every day, talk to Jesus about strive and courage.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
