I especially love what you say in these lines:<br /><br />"But we're not promised tomorrow or our next breath for that matter. Jesus is there every moment wanting to save us from ourselves and from the lies of the enemy. He is with us with every heartbeat."<br /><br />I'm taking a class on Ruth & Esther, and we've learned about the statement of widows - how even though they didn't have a voice, per se, their very presence is/was a reminder that life is short and we don't know what each day will bring, so it's important to keep our lives in perspective. Not always an easy thing to do! But I love what you say about Jesus being with us with every heartbeat. :) Such a beautiful reminder!<br /><br />Thank you again for your encouraging words! I'm so glad God allowed us to become friends and share this journey together. :) Happy February to you, as well, and I hope we can talk more again soon! <br /><br />God bless!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-25271563641138245242012-02-02T12:06:47.678-07:002012-02-02T12:06:47.678-07:00Marianne,

So very true...Amber, that was beautiful, my friend! So very true. I've even said that same thing to myself sometimes - thinking, "I already messed up, my day is blown anyway, why bother to fight the good fight anymore today? I'll pick my sword back up tomorrow." But we're not promised tomorrow or our next breath for that matter. Jesus is there every moment wanting to save us from ourselves and from the lies of the enemy. He is with us with every heartbeat. Our God is so good and so mighty to save - that is something we must remember. <br /><br />I must say I can see the spiritual growth in your life, evidenced in this post and others. Keep growing from faith to faith, dear friend, for His plans for you are great! :)<br /><br />Love the scripture you used here too. That is my prayer this year, pressing towards the mark, running the race for Christ, and casting off all hindrances. Thank you for this devotional and for sharing the things God has placed on your heart. You are such a blessing! :)<br /><br />Happy February!<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-6068056681377356202012-02-02T08:16:41.329-07:002012-02-02T08:16:41.329-07:00Time flies when you are having fun!Time flies when you are having fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443606725253181250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-23712077215955023022012-02-01T16:38:01.956-07:002012-02-01T16:38:01.956-07:00Gwendolyn,

Taking advantage of each moment is definitely NOT something I've perfected, but I hope this post was an encouragement. :)<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-81819433613515184162012-02-01T16:05:22.210-07:002012-02-01T16:05:22.210-07:00I know, I can't believe it's February alre...I know, I can't believe it's February already! And here in Texas, we still haven't had much of a winter. It's been in the 70s all day.

I can tend to do this; with dieting, for instance, I might say, "Well, I already ate 3 cookies so I might as well eat a candy bar too." :) It's easy once you've made one mistake to just throw in the towel and give up trying to get back on track for the rest of the day. Or perhaps even indefinitely.<br /><br />Great reminder to not wait for the next month/time but to take advantage of now! :)Christina Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868104433001898391noreply@blogger.com
