Gettin' Caught Up

Sometimes I get caught up in thinking that this life is about me. It is not.

Sometimes I get caught up in the lies that I am inadequate. I am adequate.

Sometimes I get caught up in being prideful. My best is "filthy" rags.

Sometimes I get caught up in materialism. I can take nothing with me.

Sometimes I get caught up in anxiety and fear. This is not from Him.

Sometimes I get caught up in the lie that "ministry" is a waste of time. It is not.

Sometimes I get caught up in loving myself more than my wife. Ephesians 5:25.

Sometimes I get caught up in doubting my dreams.......



but then I am reminded.......



they are His dreams!!!

As Christ followers, even though we may get "caught up in", we are NEVER caught!

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Keep fighting, keep pursuing, push through.

Eternal implications apply!
