Happy Father's day to all our dad's. Many of us have been blessed by our dad's. Dad is the one who is the hero in our life. A hero is strong by being able to overcome life's challenges, a hero is a leader by leading to the right path of life, and a hero is an example by letting his actions speak for what he stands for. Many of us look at our dad's as a hero. I will say there are some that dad didn't fill that spot and someone else may have been that hero to us. But as I thought about our verse for the weekend it fits perfectly for Father's day weekend. No matter what kind of earthly father we have, we have a heavenly father that is our biggest hero. 2 Peter 3:9 says.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

We have God as our heavenly father who is strong, leads, and is our best example. In the verse above many have criticized the Bible where it states Jesus will come back one day and there will be final days of earth and life as we know it. Peter as he wrote this verse addresses this same thing in his day also. The first thing we see is about time and God's promise. God has given us many promises in his word. Many have come true already with many to come. God's time table and ours is different. God has always been. He has no beginning and he has no end. We on the other hand had a beginning but we have no end. We will all face physical death at some point, unless we are here when Jesus returns, but physical death is not the end. The moment we take our last breath here will be the moment we take our first breath in eternity. We will continue to live in one of two eternities after life here. We are reminded God will fulfill his promise of sending Jesus back one day, the world as we know it will die away, and Jesus will make heaven and earth new again. Think back, God told of a coming flood that would destroy the earth. It happened. God said he would make a way for us as people to overcome sin and death and restore humanity back to a relationship with himself. He did by sending Jesus to die on a cross, be buried in a grave. But that wasn't the end. Jesus rose from the grave, beat sin and death, was witnessed by people and went back to heaven before their eyes. Jesus himself said I will come back. For so many things the Bible speaks of has come true, with more to come, we can believe it will happen. But it is happening in God's timing. Next the verse tells us he is patient with us not wanting anyone to perish but come to repentance. God could have sent Jesus back a long time ago but if he had none of us would have existed. I'm glad he had waited. God is patient giving us every chance in life to have a relationship with Jesus. Repentance is when we realize we have done wrong (sin) and we are sorry for that sin. We want to make our wrongs right so God sent Jesus to do that for us. Jesus took all sin on himself on the cross and died for it. This gives us the chance to be free from the hold sin has on us, we can be free to talk to God, we can live in his eternity, heaven one day. But for it to come full circle we must choose to accept God's gift. We must choose in this life. There will be no choice after this life. So God lets time go on giving everyone time to make the decision to follow Jesus. When we live for Jesus in this life it prepares us for heaven. As I said earlier there are two eternities. Heaven, the place God created for his believers, his people, and Hell, the place he created for the devil, his angels, and those that don't choose to believe. God's desire is that no one enters Hell's eternity so he waits and gives us every chance. God our heavenly father, our hero, is strong having the power to raise people from the dead, a leader as he leads us through his son Jesus on the right road in life and an example showing us in his word the Bible how to live and please him. We can run through life without taking our eternity seriously. But just like the unexpected on race night when mechanical failure happens or a wreck and our night is over, our life can be over in a minute. Have you made sure your life, your eternity is in Jesus' hands? When we least expect it Jesus will come back or we will breathe our last and eternity will begin. When Jesus is Our Lord and Savior and God is our heavenly father we are headed to heaven's victory lane. Get ready for it, be ready for it, it's coming soon. Thankfully after last night's wild night we have two weeks off to refresh and regroup. Let the Lord help. Get closer to him.
Hope you have a great week. See you soon

Memorial Day. A time to remember.
The US was founded on freedom. Founders of our great nation broke away from British rule to form the United States of America. But it came with great cost as many gave their life to start our country. Through the years men and women have given their lives to keep us free. Today is a day set aside to remember the fallen that allows you and me to live freely. Saturday night's verse was John 15:13 which says.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

This verse reminds us that the laying down of one's life is the ultimate act of love. The freedom we have is due to many that laid down their life for others. The Bible also tells of one who gave the ultimate act of love and sacrifice, Jesus. Jesus came as a man and after falsely being accused and sentenced to death on a cross, took every wrong, sin, that has or will be committed to an old wooden cross. He was nailed to it, taking all the pain and punishment that went with the death penalty and all the weight of sin so we wouldn't have to. All we have to do is repent, confess, and believe in the name of Jesus and we are saved, sealed, and restored. How do we go on missing loved ones that have died? We give our life to the one that brings peace, comfort, healing to our life. Jesus. When we believe in Jesus we are freed. Life has a way of holding us down. We can get discouraged, depressed, lonely, overcome with grief as well as allowing sin and its consequences rule over us. Has life sapped all your strength and energy? Do what I do. Get alone, get still, get quiet and let Jesus speak to you by praying. When life gets the better of me I do this and almost instantly I feel better. Jesus gave his life so we can be free as well. Every person has a body and a soul. Men and women gave their lives so our physical bodies could be free, Jesus gave his life so our souls can be free. Freedom deep down comes only in accepting Jesus. Are you tired, worn out? Are you in need of relief? Just pray, seek Jesus, ask his help and he will be there. Hope each of you has had a great memorial day. Look forward to seeing you at the track.

Finish Strong
