Beyond your beliefs
+++++++++++++++++++
Your limits are as real as you perceive them to be. What if you changed your perceptions?
There is a world of possibilities beyond the comfortable and familiar boundaries that you’ve accepted for yourself.
Imagine going into and exploring that world.
There are great and wonderful things you can do that you don’t believe you can do. What if your beliefs were to grow?
There are positive and valuable options available to you that you’ve never dared to consider. Perhaps it is time to consider them.
You have the power to make this the very best, most joyful and fulfilling day you’ve ever lived. And then, you have the power to make tomorrow even better.
Can you dare to imagine it and believe it to the point where you feel it in your bones? When you do, it will be.
Ralph Marston
Quick Thought:
“Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalm 32:10-11 (NKJ)
Luke 19:28-44
“And after He (Jesus) had said these things, He was going on ahead, ascending to Jerusalem. And it came about that when He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village opposite you, in which as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it, and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ thus shall you speak, ‘The Lord has need of it.’ And those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.”
“And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” And they brought it to Jesus, and they threw their garments on the colt, and put Jesus on it.”
“And as He was going, they were spreading their garments in the road. And as He was now approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” And He answered and said, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”
“And when He approached, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you, and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:28-44 (NAS)
John 18:12-18
“So the Roman cohort and the commander, and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.”
“Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.”
“And Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest, but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought in Peter.”
“The slave-girl therefore who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.” John 18:12-18 (NAS)
