II Thessalonians 3:5

When does your heart need direction?  Do you ever feel like you’ve gone adrift or that you’re wandering through life with no clear path?  Today’s scripture will help our hearts to have a road map for living.

In the second letter Paul wrote to the Thessalonians at chapter 3 and verse 5 we read, “May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.”  Paul is very simple with his directions; he says we should steer toward God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

God’s love is the source for every good thing in life.  All that our hearts long for can be found in Him.  Let Him direct your heart toward such love, security, peace and joy.

Christ’s perseverance is beyond our wildest imaginations.  He can help us push through the pain of injury, the disappointment of failure, the sting of loss, the ache of loneliness.  The perseverance of Christ enables us to do the right thing even when everything in our minds and our bodies scream that we should just give up.

As you prepare to compete today, follow you heart as God directs it toward His love and the perseverance of Christ.  The best things in sport and all of life are awaiting your arrival.
