DADs... The past three weeks… we have been considering the 4 quarters of achieving H.O.P.E. Just like a football game each quarter is essential to the victory! Each quarter builds on the other. Our conversations in the first quarter reminded us… that we gain Christ’s hope, through true Humility… which in the second quarter carries us towards… intentional Obedience… last week in the third quarter we stressed how that our intentional Obedience will lead to the “ceaseless” prayerthat God cries out from us every day! DADs…today…it is the 4thquarter…. And it is today… that we take the next step in achieving that HOPEin Christ that is promised through the cross. Again, we realize that it is only our true humility, our intentional obedienceand ceaseless prayersthat will move us to truly by seeking those things Eternal versus External. John 6:27: "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval" What external things hinder your eternal walk? Why is it so hard to focus on eternal living? What are you doing to daily to seek those things that are eternal? Paul writes in Philippians 4:19: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable…if anything is excellent or praiseworthy… think about such things" DADs...we all desire hope in Christ… the question is are you willing to humble yourselves… be intentionally obedient, ensure a daily relationship of ceaseless prayer… and seek those things that are Eternal versus External? DADs…do not stand on the sidelines of life…get off the bench… “get in the game”…Today is game day…and so is every day…God gives you! So…C’mon DADs…Suit Up! To follow the “Suit Up” Movement…
