We choose how to live each day. Are we living a day of thankfulness for all that the Lord has given us and His precious presence in our lives? Are we speaking life-giving words over others? Is our focus on Him or on our circumstances? Each day is a choice… what do we choose this day? May we choose well…
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
1 John 5:4 NASB1995
As I have been pressing into the Lord concerning this new year, I was led to this photo. Then I was led to the scripture in 1 John concerning FAITH.
I feel the call of the Lord to be ready to take a LEAP OF FAITH in the coming year. There have been plenty of circumstances that have tried to stop you in your walk forward.
Looking at our circumstances and listening to voices of criticism and negativity in our lives have caused a “break” in our walk with the Lord. He is calling us to look at HIM…trust in HIM… and soar like an eagle over all those things that have caused you fear and doubt.
Get ready to take that LEAP OF FAITH and see all that God has waiting for you on the other side!
HALLELUJAH!!
When we taste something, we are experiencing it in a deeper way than just looking at it; talking about it; or even smelling it.
We are being invited in this Psalm to experience the Lord in a deeper way. We are invited to go beyond talking about Him and studying His Word….which is needed and good! But, we are invited to go deeper! To draw nearer…to seek His presence…to talk WITH Him and not just pray TO Him.
We are invited into RELATIONSHIP with the Lord! Brothers & Sisters, are you ready to join me in seeking a deeper and closer relationship with our Lord? What do we need to do in order for this to happen?
The Lord is good!! Trust Him, draw near, and experience Him in a deeper way…
God is faithful! Walk in your faith in Him!
I have posted the pic below before in years past…but I think it is a reminder that we need to keep ever before us.
If we truly come to church with a heart of worship and a desire to hear from Him…how can we not be changed!
We are assured in His Word that He is there with us as we gather together. May we be sensitive to His presence!
May we gather in our churches in Jesus Name and not for any other reason. It’s all about JESUS! And when we get our focus in the right place…everything else will fall into place.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20 NASB1995)
I made this in a pottery place with two of my granddaughters a few years ago and it is where I can see it every day.
Brothers & Sisters… May your life walk-out your belief in God!
May He be able to mold and shape you into His vessel!
May people be able to see Christ Jesus in you in everything you say and do!!
BELIEVE!!
It is so easy to look at ourselves and feel that we are not equipped or not able to be who God has called us to be or to do what God has called us to do.
It is so easy to focus on things we have done wrong. Why would the Lord want to use me when I have “messed up” so many times?
It is very enlightening in the Bible to see how God used people who had “messed up“ to do mighty things for His kingdom.
Brothers & Sisters, God can and wants to use you for His glory!! The “job requirements” are not that you have a perfect life.
Do you love the Lord? Do you desire for Jesus to be your Savior and Lord? Are you willing to allow Him to work His good and perfect will in and through you?
Then you have everything you need to serve our perfect God!! Trust Him and take the next step of faith!! He is waiting…
Reflection of Glory!
