NO BETTER GUID THAN GOD

 Joshua 1:9
”Have I not commanded you? Be strong
and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not
be discouraged, for the LORD your God
will be with you wherever you go.”
The Story
Elephant Rope
 Elephants are among the most intelligent of
the creatures with whom we share the planet,
with complex consciousnesses that are
capable of strong emotions.
 Elephants are the largest land mammals living
on the Earth today. They have no natural
predators—other than man—and can live
between 50 and 70 years.
Elephant Symbolism/Meaning
Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily
with strength, honor, stability and patience, among
other attributes.
In Christian symbolism the elephant is an icon of
temperance (Pagpugong sa kaugalingon),
patience(pailub), and chastity(kaputli).
The elephant also has immense determination and
loyalty - always standing up for others and always
defending members of the group in its
natural habitat.
In many western cultures, the elephant
meaning pertains to themes of...

Reliability = kasaligan
Dignity = Dignidad
Power = Gahum
Royalty = Royalty
Pride = Garbo
As a Chinese symbol, the elephant is
considered a symbol of:

Happiness = kalipay
Longevity = kataason
Good luck = Pampaswerte
The Story
Elephant Rope
Figure out what the ropes
are that have been holding
you in place and cut ‘em.
Like the elephants, how many of us
go through life hanging onto a
belief that we cannot do something,
simply because we failed at it once
before?

Psalm 27:1 NIV

“ The LORD is my light and my
salvation— whom shall I fear? The
LORD is the stronghold of my
life— of whom shall I be afraid?”.
 Sometimes it stems from having been told we
can’t do something or being told we aren’t
capable of something. Other times it comes
from stems from having tried once and failed at
something and now we are convinced that we
just can’t do it. All we see is that rope around our
leg holding us in place.
 What we BELIEVE about ourselves is the MOST
POWERFUL thing in this world. We have a
choice to believe. We can make the decision to
break free from any perceived ropes that have
been holding us back and go for the things we
actually want. We just have to choose to believe!
“There are no failures, just
experiences and your reactions
to them!”
… Tom Krause

Psalm 56:3-4 NIV

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I
trust and am not afraid. What can mere
mortals do to me?
Your attempt may fail, but never
fail to make an attempt.

Whatever you can conceive and

believe, you can achieve!

CHOOSE not to accept the false

boundaries and limitations
created by the past.

Lesson learn

 Many times in life, whether a thing is worth

doing or not, really depends on how u looks at
it. Take up all your courage and do something
your heart tells you to do so that you may not
regret not doing it later in your life. May each
and every one of you be blessed with the
company of TRUE FRIENDS. A true friend is one
who walks in, when the rest of the world walks
out. War doesn’t determine who’s right. War
only determines who’s left.
Just remember what Jesus said..

 Joshua 1:9
”Have I not commanded you? Be strong
and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not
be discouraged, for the LORD your God
will be with you wherever you go.”
Happy Sabbath everyone   
