CHEERING FOR GOD
Today's reading: Psalm 3-5

It's Day 11 of the 2012 New Year's Resolutions--and I'm still in the game!

It's Year 11 of the 2000 Read My Bible Everyday Challenge--and I'm still in the game!

It's Year 21, almost 22, of the 1990 Vows Taken To A Great Guy--and I'm still in the game!

It's Hour 1 of the January 11, 2012, Live It For Christ Race--and I'm still in the game!

Pat me on the back if you'd like, but I'm transferring all applause, kudos and congratulatory encouragement over to God. You see, He is the One who has given me anything resembling victory in my life.

Before Him, without Him, my track record stunk!

"Victory comes from you, O Lord..." Psalm 3:8 NLT

I am not capable of living for Jesus without His grace.

I haven't got it in me to remain faithful, loyal and supportive of another faulty human without His guidance.

I had no desire, gumption or mental strength to pick up His Word each and every morning for the past 11 years without His faith Holy Spirit spurring me on.

I have had no history, none what so ever, of ever sticking with resolutions as well as what I have so far this year without His power.

Thanks for thinking I'm 'something', but I'm not. I appreciate your admiring my disciplines and strengths, but they're not mine--they come from the One I hang around with. It's nothing to do with me and everything to do with my teaming up and being coached by the Lord!

And by the way, He's looking for more recruits!
