KEEP MOVING

Galatians 6:9 And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up. (TLB)

His plays and films have grossed around 500 million dollars in North America alone. The hilarious television show he created, “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne,” is the highest rated sitcom to ever appear on cable television. He is the most successful filmmaker outside of Hollywood. I’m sure you know to whom I’m referring, the one and only Tyler Perry.


Conversely, behind his success is a history of pain. His social profile archives a childhood of physical and mental abuse, episodes of sexual molestation, and two failed suicide attempts. Eleven short years ago, he was homeless and unsure where his next dollar would come. In an interview in Ebony magazine some time ago, he offered this advice: “…The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.”


Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are periods when it seems that the more we pray the worse things get! During these times, we need to heed Bro. Tyler’s advice and “keep on moving.” Paul told the church at Galatia the following words, “And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessings if we don’t get discouraged and give up.” (Galatians 6:9, TLB)


The exhortation today is to not give up…“keep moving.”


Let’s Pray:
“Father, help us to not give up, regardless to where we are in life, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”
The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
