BOTTOM LINE CIRCUMSTANCE, FRONTLINE FAITH 12/2/13

By Dr. Sheila A. De Gruy

Welcome to the pre-first blog posting of Bottom Line Circumstance: Frontline Faith.  Before you decide to close the window and keep surfing let me stop you.  YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PAGE AND THE RIGHT TIME, IN YOUR SEASON.

The title may make you curious enough to make the first visit but that’s what GOD intended.  This was HIS plan.  You may think this title has nothing to do with you but it has everything to do with you and me.  And the postings will deal with everyday issues, life and those things that may test us.

The dictionary defines bottom line as: an unavoidable factor: the most important factor that must be accepted, however reluctantly.  

We each have challenges, situations, circumstances, and experiences that may weigh upon us even when we know there is hope in GOD to change these circumstances. But at the same time the enemy is telling us that this is the bottom line and that there’s NOTHING this side of heaven that can be done.  It is final.  EVERYTHING THAT IS ANYTHING HAS TO BE ACCEPTED.  BUT FAITH says NOTHING IS FINAL, GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY.

Now let’s get to the best part of the name:  Frontline Faith.  These days it’s not good enough to just have Faith; we have to have Front Line Faith.  What is front line Faith?  I’m glad you asked.

The dictionary defines frontline as: forward line: the forward line of a battle, position, or formation; advanced position: the most advanced, important position in any situation; at limits of attainment.   

During this time together, we are going to meditate upon many things, share our experiences and move towards obtaining Frontline Faith and advance our position to obtain the highest level of Faith that we can.  We’re going to learn about each other and develop true Fellowship, unlike most sites.  This is a fellowship site, not a social network.  And when I say WE I mean WE.  I need you and your input and I am also stepping up to participate in this fellowship.

This is a time when we all have to take it up a notch and be REAL IN OUR FAITH, accept our weaknesses and allow GOD to be our strength.  The times we’re living in call for pressing forward to the line of battle, not retreating even when we want to give up because we think we can’t make it or take it anymore.   We can use this forum as an opportunity to move into a position of Faith stronger than ever and remain in position together as sisters and brothers in CHRIST side by side lifting up one another.

This is not your run of the mill blog site. This site’s goal is it to be a place where you to come and be a Blessing (by your input) and receive a blessing as well.  A place where you can be encouraged, feel love and know that someone, somewhere is going through the same thing as you are, they understand and just may need a word, YOUR WORDS.  It doesn’t matter what the posting is on whether it’s regarding life’s unexpected challenges, or the weather, every new circumstance, change in our present circumstances and we must remember that total resolution begins with Faith.  This is a time for Fellowship.  This site is to become a setting where True Fellowship will arise, soar like an eagle and be taken to new heights in the shadow of GOD’s wings.

How precious is your unfailing love, O GOD!

All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of YOUR wings.

Psalm 36:7 (New Living Translation)

You have a chance to touch the lives of others.  To minister to someone who is in need of a kind word and meet them where they are in their situation and produce fruit for the Kingdom.  Your comments, or Bible verse, or GOD BLESS YOU can help bring comfort and strengthen someone’s situation but most of all show GOD’s unfailing love.  Please share this blog site with family, friends and acquaintances.  This site is for GOD’s GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE.

COME BACK TOMORROW FOR THE FIRST POST OF BOTTOM LINE CIRCUMSTANCE: FRONTLINE FATIH.  This week there is this intro and a posting.  Beginning next week, check back each Monday for new blogs.

GOD BLESS
