WISDOM FOR YOUR WALK

Deuteronomy 30:17-20
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

"Fellowship of the Unashamed."

The die has been cast. 
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made. 
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. 

I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. 
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.

I am finished and done with low living, sight walking,
small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,
chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position,
promotions, plaudits, or popularity. 
I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by patience,
lift by prayer, and labor by power. 

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, 
my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few,
my Guide reliable, my mission clear. 

I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, 
turned back, diluted, or delayed.

 I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, 
hesitate in the presence of adversity, 
negotiate at the table of the enemy,
ponder at the pool of popularity, 
or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
 I must go until Heaven returns, 
give until I drop, preach until all know,
and work until He comes. 

And when He comes to get His own, 
He will have no problem recognizing me.
My colors will be clear.

Colossians 3:1-4
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

2 Peter 2:10-11
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Daniel 3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

2 Peter 1:3,10
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
