Motivational Monday: KEEP GOING

Isaiah 53:5 "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed"

Isaiah 53:5 states that ONE reason that God has given us to keep going! Imagine Jesus on His walk to Calvary, carrying that heavy cross that He would later be nailed to AND die on; being taunted and tortured by those who He lived to save. I think it's safe to say that Jesus had many reasons to quit; for starters, those that He was trying to save were ungrateful, selfish, ruthless, careless, and etc (as we have a tendency to be today at times). But the ONE reason He didn't quit was because of ME. Yes, this is personal...you can say He did it for you too, but I am CERTAIN He did it for me! 

Somewhere, through all that you are going through, there is a blessing specifically for you. That means there is nothing ANYONE can do to stop you from receiving that blessing. Currently you're either walking in your blessing, walking to your blessing, or walking away from your blessing. Which one are you doing? Here's a hint: Your relationship status with God and your obedience to Him will tell you. The scariest part about walking IN your blessing is that sometimes you don't realize it and you'll end up walking right THROUGH it without actually receiving it. STAY FOCUSED!! Walking to your blessing is the most wonderful feeling because it shows that you are on God's path, but you must be careful what you do when you reach your blessing. STAY FOCUSED!! Oh but walking away from your blessing simply means you are completely out of the will of God. GET FOCUSED!! 

Today you may be on your way to calvary (life's journey), carrying your cross (life's burdens) but don't give up...KEEP GOING because when you get there Jesus will already be there. He's already paid the price for you all you have to do is drop those burdens off. Psalm 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved" You're not in this alone. You may be moving a little slower, but at least you're still moving. You may have fallen a few times, but you got back up. You may have a couple of bruises but that's just proof that God heals. By His stripes we are healed! Healed in and through Christ; therefore, nothing can hinder you. No matter what it looks like trust God...Keep going!
