You’re Under Construction!

For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Hebrews 3:4
You’re Under Construction
You can’t find anyone in the Scripture who did something significant that didn’t have messy times, unfair times, times that didn’t make sense, times when it seemed as though they were disqualified. Abraham had God’s promise of a son and becoming the father of many nations, but think of the mess and dysfunction that he and Sarah lived through when they tried to bring Hagar into the fulfillment of that promise. God chose Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, but he ended up fleeing to the wilderness and hiding for forty years after killing a man. God gave Joseph a dream of being a ruler, but he spent thirteen years as a slave and then a prisoner. Here’s the key: All of them were under God’s construction, and He worked out His plans for their lives.

God, as our planner and builder, will allow things that we don’t understand, that look like mistakes, that are uncomfortable. But it’s all on God’s blueprint, and He’s using it for a purpose that we can’t see. Don’t worry. What He started, He’s going to finish.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have a blueprint for my life and that You’re going to finish what You’ve started. I choose to stop worrying about what doesn’t make sense and leave it in Your hands. I trust that You will go before me with Your plan and get me to where I’m supposed to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
