Life

In all of God's power and might, I find it amazing that there are certain moments in life when He has chosen me to be His messenger.  Today as you look around you, remember that you are His hands, His eyes, His voice, His ears.  Use these gifts according to His will.

He said to him, "Run, and tell that young man this, 'Jerusalem is to remain unwalled, because of the great number of men and cattle inside. For I  - Yahweh declares - shall be a wall of fire all around her and I shall be the Glory with in her.'" - Zachariah 2:8,9

Beginnings

Each day is a new beginning; yet, within each day are many moments wherein lies a new beginning as well: chances to mend bridges, or build new ones. Seeking God in each moment of the day will make every day a good one.

Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. - James 4:8a

Overcome

When you start to think that your world is falling apart, it’s become time to take inventory of your world. There is something greater than this moment. No matter how much seems to be against you, how hard it is to move forward, how painful it is to feel out of control, you must reach out and grab hold, in faith, to Your Heavenly Father. Place your hope in Him, seek the goodness of His love, and feel the blessings of resting in His world. With Him, you can overcome.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Comfort

An easy path, does not necessarily make the right one. God has graced us with the talent and perseverance to obtain His promises in our lifetime. Whether we receive them or not is up to us. When we step out of our comfort zone and make that extra effort, we will be amazed at what unfolds for us in our journey of life.

The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your loving kindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. - Psalm 138:8

July 27, 2017 - Love

You never truly know how much you love someone until you have to say goodbye.

And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. – 1 John 4:10

July 26, 2017 – Test

When we are tested by God, it is not for Our Creator to find our breaking point; rather, it is for mankind to find our strength.

Approach the LORD, for he has heard your grumbling. – Exodus 16:9b

July 25, 2017 – Servant

What does it mean to be a servant . . . to the employee; to the boss; to the homemaker; to the teacher; to the student? Christ speaks of being a servant to all and, in this teaching, He empowers us. He never said we are to be subservient, but that we should serve. We work, we govern, we mold, we teach, and we learn. In His Grace, we place ourselves before another in love with a true desire that Jesus is seen within us. This is the servant. This is true service for God.

But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; - Matthew 20:25,26
