PJP2 THANKS 160329 THANKS Focus - 2 Corinthians 5:6-7

Psalm 79:13 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."But we Your people, The Sheep of Your Pasture, Will Give Thanks To You Forever; From generation to generation we Will Recount Your Praise."....

PJP2 THANKS TEXT 160329 - 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."So we Are Always of Good Courage.  We Know That while we are at home in the body we Are Away From The Lord, For we Walk By Faith, Not by sight."....

I am Thankful for three Concepts from our PJP2 THANKS TEXT 2 Corinthians 5:6-7....(1)  His Constant/Consistent Presence; (2) Good Courage; (3) Walk By Faith...I am Thankful, that Because of His Constant and Consistent Presence in our Lives (due to His Holy Spirit Being Within us), we Can Be of Good Courage, regardless of any circumstance that may be facing us, or going on around us.  I am Thankful that (1) and (2) dovetail and are further Assurance that we Walk by Faith in our Lord Jesus, and Praise God not by our selfish/distracted sight.  As His Holy Spirit Inspired the writer of Hebrews to Share (Hebrews 11:1) - "Faith is The Assurance of things Hoped for, The Conviction of things Not seen."

Thus my Prayer of Thanks for us today would be a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise based on 2 Corinthians 5:6-7....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Thank You, Because of You in our Lives, we Can Always Be of Good Courage.  Lord Jesus, By Your Sacrifice and Resurrection, we Know That while we are at home in the earthly body we Are Away From You.  But, Thank You Holy Spirit, Because, By Your Indwelling us, we Walk in this earthly body By our Faith in You, Lord Jesus.  Father God, Help us Not to slip into striving to walk with You by our mortal, compromised and imperfect sight.  O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You that By Your Grace we Are Assured that You Will Keep us Ever in The Palm of Your Hand.  In Your Precious Name we Pray These Thanks.  Amen/Amen....jaj
