  Knowing God Scripture: Hosea 6:3 and Hebrews 11:6 “ Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”  (Hosea 6:3, NLT) “ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. ” (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV) These verses contain the keys to enjoying a life now, and a life that will echo into eternity. We have seen how he holds our breath in his hand, and that every heartbeat is sourced in God. We have seen how he has designed each of us for a specific purpose, having fashioned each heart individually. He created us, formed us, and knows us by name. Therefore, it is critical to press on to know him to the extent he will reveal himself to us. KingdomNomics thinkers want to know God at all costs, and will press on to know him. As surely as we know that the sun will rise tomorro...

  Introduction Revelation 7:1–17: Today’s reading describes a vision of 144,000 people from the twelve tribes of Israel, along with an enormous crowd of people from every race, tribe, nation, and language—all standing before the throne and praising God. Today’s Key Verse: Revelation 7:10 GNT They called out in a loud voice, “Salvation comes from our God, who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb!” Read 7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so that no wind should blow on the earth or the sea or against any tree.  2  And I saw another angel coming up from the east with the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels to whom God had given the power to damage the earth and the sea.  3  The angel said, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we mark the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads.”  4  And I was told that the number of those...

  God’s Precious Investment Scripture: Ephesians 1:18 “ I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. ” (NLT) As believers in Christ, we are God’s precious inheritance. He has purchased us with the precious blood of Christ, and looks forward to spending eternity with us. “ But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. ” (Ephesians 2:13, NLT) God has invested a lot in you and me. He has given us time, talent, and treasure in varying degrees. We will have to give an accounting for the use of these gifts; however, we should view our time in this world as the greatest opportunity to serve in advancing his kingdom. He has given us the assurance of salvation: “ I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me ...

  Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5, NKJV Bring Every Thought into Captivity The apostle Paul says that every time a negative thought comes to you, whether it’s fear, worry, or doubt, you can’t be passive or complacent. You have to arrest that thought, you have to bring into captivity any thought that goes against what God says. It’s an intruder. It has no right to stay, making its home in your mind. You need to get your handcuffs out, lock it up, and send it away. To take it captive indicates forcefully and aggressively being on the offensive. Paul could have said, “Just don’t think it. Don’t pay it attention.” But God is showing us how important it is that we be proactive, that if we’re going to have a sound mind, a healthy mind, it’s not going to happen automatically. The Scripture says to “give no place to the enemy.” Are there some int...

  Your Power Source Scripture: Psalm 62:11 and 2 Corinthians 12:9 “ God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you. ” (Psalm 62:11, NLT) “ Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT) It is amazing what lengths people will go to in order to gain access to those they perceive as “powerful people.” The Psalmist had it right. Power belongs to God. He is the one who can bring about the change we need in our lives and in the circumstances we encounter in this turbulent world. In so many ways we are weak, powerless, and vulnerable. However, we have been born to a living hope. Subject to the sovereign will of God, we are kept by the power of God: “ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In God’s great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope, because Jesus Ch...

  He never doubted that God would keep his promise, and he never stopped believing. He grew stronger in his faith and gave praise to God. Romans 4:20–21, NCV Thank God Before the Promise Abraham was seventy-five years old when God promised him a son, but his wife, Sarah, had gone through the change of life. A child seemed impossible. Year after year went by with no sign of a baby. You can imagine the negative thoughts that came to Abraham over and over. He could have gotten discouraged, but he stayed strong in faith by giving praise to God. He gave thanks to God for the promise before he ever saw the promise fulfilled…when he was one hundred years old. Like Abraham, you may not see any sign of what God promised you. You could live worried, stressed, doubting. Try a different approach. Every time those thoughts tell you, “You’ll never get well, never break the addiction, never see your family restored,” turn that worry into worship. When God hears you thanking Him for something that...
