purpose in every step

Some of you made commitments to sexual purity at OUTLET last night.  I’m very excited for your decision!

There will be tough days ahead when the temptations seem to be too much. Remember this from Isaiah 40:26-31.

26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

What areas do you need strength in? Look at verses 30-31. Have you ever stumbled? God promises if you allow him to, HE will renew your strength. How does that make you feel?

As you face today, I pray you will be renewd with HIS strength in your life. I pray that your commitment to sexual purity will be so much more than just decision made one night…but a lifestyle you live out everyday.
