When You’re Weary!

Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.
1 Kings 19:5–6, NKJV
When You’re Weary
After experiencing a great victory over the prophets of Baal, calling down fire from heaven, the prophet Elijah was so exhausted that he ran into the desert at the threat of Queen Jezebel. He was at the breaking point, totally having lost perspective, and didn’t want to live anymore. But notice how good God is. He sent an angel to not only bring food to Elijah but to cook it—not once, but twice. That food gave him the strength to make a forty-day journey to meet with God. His whole attitude and perspective changed. He came out of the desert with a new passion, more energy, ready for the next season of his life.

God has these times when He’s going to cook the food for you. You’re tired. You’ve lost perspective. Weariness has set in. God has angels preparing whatever it is that you need. You’re not going to have to go after it; it’s going to come to you—the strength, the encouragement, the provision, the right people. Get ready. God is not going to let you miss your destiny.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are always aware of where I am and what I need. Thank You for Your promise of coming to me over and over again to renew me with strength and breathe new life into my dreams. I believe that You are coming now to cause blessings to chase me down. 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...

Listen Up!

"After the earthquake a fire, but Adonai was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice."   (1 Kings 19:12) Listen Up! Listening is a lost art today. We can be so concerned about expressing our thoughts and opinions that we don't listen closely to others—or even to God. If we're not careful, distractions and busyness can drown out the voice that matters most in our lives, the voice of our heavenly Father. The good news is that you can learn to tune out the negative noise of the world and start listening for God's voice, for hopeful, positive, faith-filled thoughts. Be receptive and listen for His still, small voice on the inside of you. God speaks not only through the Bible but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10 when he said to God, "I am listening." Then be ready to listen for His answer. A Prayer for Today "God, than...
