Take Time Every Day

By

  By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. Psalm 41:11 Take Time Every Day Today look back over your life at all those places where God has done unusual, uncommon things that showed He delights in you. Don’t take them for granted. They are a big deal. God gave you breath to breathe for today. He woke you up this morning. He’s the One who sustains you. He protects you from things you know nothing about. You’re still standing in spite of the disappointment, the loss. You’re still healthy, still blessed. If it had not been for the goodness of God, where would you be? You may have been under attack in your health, but the enemy couldn’t finish you off. You may be up against some big obstacles, but God is saying, “Am I not the God who parted the Red Sea? Am I not the God who closed the mouths of lions? Am I not the God who has brought you this far, who has protected you, promoted you, favored you, and made ways where you didn’t see a way?” Take ...

The Awesomeness of God’s Works!

By

  The Awesomeness of God’s Works Scripture: Psalm 92:5 “ O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. ” (Psalm 92:5) Throughout Scripture, the works of God are declared AWESOME.  Sonpower  enables us to experience the great working of God in our everyday living. The finger of God touches every activity in the life of the believer who is submissive to his will. The Hebrew people experienced this for themselves. “ For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them. ” (Psalm 44:3) “ He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. ” (Psalm 103:7) Who knows what God may be willing to do through the righteous person who lives in conformance with his will? When God shines with favor on a person’s life, he can do more than we can ask, think or imagine. Success in living is in the hand of God to give...

Sowers Of Discord!

By
Image
  I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. Romans 16:17 Sowers of Discord Becareful of people who try to stir you up. It should be a red flag when someone comes and starts pointing out everything that’s wrong. You have to consider the source. They are constant alarmists, always blowing things out of proportion, knocking your boss, telling you what’s wrong with your spouse, pointing out problems in your church. Don’t take that bait. They’re sowing discord. They’re trying to poison your spirit. Most of the time, they don’t even know all the facts. The Scripture tells us to be peacemakers, not troublemakers. That’s someone who wants you to get bent out of shape, and then they’re quick to give you advice about it. They always have the answers. If you keep listening to them, you’re going to live wrought up, stressed out, on edge. If you dwell on what...

Seek God!

  Seek God! Scripture: Job 5:8–9 “ But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause — who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. ” (Job 5:8–9) We live in a world where most people seek  things, stuff, experiences, pleasures, power, money,  and status , thinking they will satisfy the inner longings of their soul. We are seeking the wrong things! Only God, the source of all life, can fill our heart with the contentment and peace we need to live a balanced life. In Kingdom of God the first order of business is to seek the face of God. The Bible tells us, “ Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. ” (Psalm 37:5) The wise person puts this verse into practice. The reason is explained in Scripture: God is the one who makes things happen. In fact, he can do way more than we can ask, think or imagine. His works are awesome, marvelous, and without number! We can live a life of triumph “by the wo...

Develop Your Character!

By

  For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. James 1:3 Develop Your Character Too often we put conditions on God and on our prayers. “God, I’ll be happy if my boss moves to the backside of Mars. When you get him out of my life, I’ll have a good attitude.” Have you ever thought that God is using that person to grow you up, to develop your character, to teach you to love those who are not so lovable? Instead of saying, “God, get me out of this situation,” I’m asking you to pray, “God, come into this situation. Help me to have a good attitude. Help me to do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening.” It’s very powerful when you can say, “God, if this person or situation never changes, thank You that You’ve given me the strength to overcome, the power to be happy in the midst of difficulties. I’m not going to let this person, this sickness, or this injustice to take my joy.” Now you’re growing and coming up higher. Sometimes God is waiting...

Fear Not! God is With You!

By

  Fear Not! God is With You Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 “ Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. ” (Isaiah 41:10) Fear paralyzes us, particularly when we focus on the problem or worry we face. Fear drains the life out of us. When we allow fear to control us (instead of God controlling us), fear becomes a god. At least 450 verses in Scripture address the subject of fear. It is a topic God wants us to handle properly. We are not to be afraid because  God promises to be with us . As we face formidable circumstances, he tells us not to be discouraged because  he  is our God, and  not  the circumstance. Furthermore, he promises that he will strengthen and help us; he will hold us up with his victorious hand. As we face obstacles, we should always remember God. The “God Factor” is the solution to our problems. But fear distracts us from seeing t...

PSALMS 139!

By
Image
  Psalm 139: The theme of this psalm is that God knows us completely. From “heaven” to “the world of the dead”—the two most distant places in creation—there is nowhere we can go that is beyond the scope of God’s care. God is present from before creation and beyond all our days, and knows all things. Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 139:23 Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover my thoughts. Reading 139  Lord, you have examined me and you know me. 2  You know everything I do;     from far away you understand all my thoughts. 3  You see me, whether I am working or resting;     you know all my actions. 4  Even before I speak,     you already know what I will say. 5  You are all around me on every side;     you protect me with your power. 6  Your knowledge of me is too deep;     it is beyond my understanding. 7  Where could I go to escape fro...
