Living Purpose “LP” Entries ~ Never Quits...

Inspirations: K A Psi, My Walk w/God, Class, Yolanda Adams – I Gotta Believe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg0EWJCwD-M&feature=related) and Psalm 136…

I am now in week #6 of class and I can see things are changing. This morning I got an email from my pastor about the class and up coming events. As usual, Pastor Jay always offers a word of encouragement and endurance that reminds me to press onward and never quit. I am suddenly reminded of when I aspired to become a member of the greatest fraternity ever, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. One of the first things I learned dealt with my mind set, Train of Thought. That is something that I truly hold and apply not only in Kappa but in life.

As I am going through this class; however, there have been a whole host of issues to come up that at times have made me wonder, should I continue on? And then God sends a word. Check it out. Just a reminder of what's real... Be blessed...

Psalm 136 (The Message Bible): 1-3 Thank God! He deserves your thanks. His love never quits.
Thank the God of all gods,
His love never quits.
Thank the Lord of all lords.
His love never quits.

4-22 Thank the miracle-working God,
His love never quits.
The God whose skill formed the cosmos,
His love never quits.
The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations,
His love never quits.
The God who filled the skies with light,
His love never quits.
The sun to watch over the day,
His love never quits.
Moon and stars as guardians of the night,
His love never quits.
The God who struck down the Egyptian firstborn,
His love never quits.
And rescued Israel from Egypt's oppression,
His love never quits.
Took Israel in hand with his powerful hand,
His love never quits.
Split the Red Sea right in half,
His love never quits.
Led Israel right through the middle,
His love never quits.
Dumped Pharaoh and his army in the sea,
His love never quits.
The God who marched his people through the desert,
His love never quits.
Smashed huge kingdoms right and left,
His love never quits.
Struck down the famous kings,
His love never quits.
Struck Sihon the Amorite king,
His love never quits.
Struck Og the Bashanite king,
His love never quits.
Then distributed their land as booty,
His love never quits.
Handed the land over to Israel.
His love never quits.

23-26 God remembered us when we were down,
His love never quits.
Rescued us from the trampling boot,
His love never quits.
Takes care of everyone in time of need.
His love never quits.
Thank God, who did it all!
His love never quits!

THOUGHT: His Love Never Quits… Do not give up on His Love… Do not give up on yourself.

Father God,

I thank You. I thank You for the reminder that Your Love never quits. Your Love is perfect in everyway and I bless Your Name. Lord, some of us are dealing with heavy loads. In most cases, some of us don't know how we will make it. But we know that You know all about our problems and issues. All You ask is that we trust You and know that You will make the provisions. We thank You Lord for reminding us of the past and how when we didn't know... You knew already. With all that we endure, But God... You step in every time... with Your Love... Your Discipline, Your Wisdom. Lord, put in our souls a desire to only be concerned with serving You. As long as we make that priority, we know that You will preserve us through everything... I believe it and claim it now, In Jesus Name... Amen...
