He Is There When We Need Him

The Lord hears the voice of His people.  Standing up for your Christian beliefs does not fit in with what the masses want to do, but it does not mean that His people should just give in to those who do not believe in Him.  God’s immutable nature does not change with the tide of human emotion or popularity.  The reassuring aspect of that is that He has declared to never forsake his people even when the winds of public opinion are blowing strongly against what His Word says.  When we needed a deliverer, He showed up.  When we needed food, He showed up.  When we needed comfort, He showed up.  When we needed a savior, He showed up.  God is still showing up for His people, so we must continue to stand on His Promises and be willing to endure the hardening that makes us good soldiers in His Army because there are still souls left to be saved.

Gifts For His Glory

Gifts For His Glory

Each person has been given their own set of gifts, talents, and abilities.  It does not mean that everyone has the same ones or an equal amount.  God has a reason for each person to operate on the level of life that they are at.  Some will stay at the level that they started, some will rise to a higher level and some will go down a level.  No matter if there is an increase or a decrease, there is an opportunity to bring   glory to God by our response to our circumstance.  Paul said it best when he declared that whether he is abased or abounding he has learned to be content no matter what state he is in.  Being content still requires that we strive to do our best because God is faithful to keep His promises toward us when we trust and obey Him.

God Has A Plan For Mothers

God has a plan for every one of His people.  When we consider the    value of a mother. There are many hats that she wears.  A mother is a source of stability when the winds of life are blowing hard upon a child.  A mother is a healer and a comforter when the storms have left us battered and bruised.  A mother is a protector who tries to shield us from the pains of life.  A mother is a go-to person for the innermost thoughts that we think and an encourager for the dreams that we have.  A mother means so much to so many people that the only way we can truly appreciate the wonderful gift that she is from God is to say, “THANK YOU!!”  with all the love that we have to show her.

Experience God’s Plan

 Let’s make it our personal mission to stop wasting God’s time.  Far too many times people attend worship services out of obligation rather than taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity that has been laid before us to honor God.  When we pray, we can be more selfless by    focusing on how great He Is, and seek out what direction He has for us.  When we serve, we can be imitators of God by giving to Him the same level of excellence that He has shown to us.  Our character and reputation should be the same when we are at church as it is when we are out in the public.   We can be more faithful to Him by not robbing Him of our time, talents, and treasure.  Those who worship God can impact the world for His glory by expressing joyful and real praise rather than pretending for the sake of others.  When we put all of these things together, we will experience what it is to fulfill the plan He has for us and be more than conquerors!

When We Know Him, He Will Listen

 It would be unusual to expect a tree surgeon to be assigned to remove your appendix.  It would be strange to watch a carpenter try to make your wedding cake.  It is just as unproductive as expecting God to    answer the prayer of someone who does not believe in Him.  Knowing God is necessary for Him to repair your situation.  The only prayer that God will hear from an unbeliever is the one when they repent for being an unbeliever.  Unbelievers would laugh and scoff at God for fixing their problems.  When we were not saved, many of us thought that we could not be saved or even have a chance to get to know God.  But one day He changed us, and we now have direct access to Him through His Son.  Since He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, He knows precisely what to do for us.  Now, we can rejoice because we know God better than we knew Him before.  Better still, is knowing that when we talk to Him, He will listen.

Trust His Plan

Trust His Plan

There is a plan for our life that God is working.  Even though there may be times that we cannot see clearly the direction and the destination, there is still a plan at work.  Accomplishing the objectives of a plan requires that we commit ourselves to them, then our actions will be in support of the plan and goal.  In order to commit to something or someone we must have a level of trust that takes us beyond what we once did.  God has declared that His plan is to prosper us and do us no harm, therefore, if we want to have the blessing He has awaiting us, we must trust Him!  Our trust is expressed in how much we obey what His Word declares.  By trying it, we will discover that we can do it.

Commitment Over Convenience

Commitment Over Convenience

We live in a time where convenience is often sought out rather than commitment.  In an age of fast foods, fast cars, fast computers, and the idea of fast money, convenience presents itself as a logical option for life’s circumstances.  Convenience makes a difference right now, Commitment makes a difference forever.  Convenience satisfies the needs of one, Commitment satisfies the needs of many.  Just as every meal should not be cooked in a microwave, every decision should not be made based upon what is the most convenient.  Obeying God requires commitment.  Successful marriages require commitment.  Raising children requires commitment.  Upward mobility in your career requires commitment. Sharing your faith requires commitment. Commitment will bring relevance to what you are doing today and will help you direct your decisions, order your steps, seek His Will in everything that you do.  Though others may not understand, commitment will prove itself in the long run.

There may be times when your whole life may seem to be whirling completely out of control and there does not appear to be any type of relief coming, what do you do?  Expectations cannot be met, the ones you put on yourself, as well as, the ones that others have placed upon you, what do you do?   The Bible asks the question, in Jeremiah 32:27, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?”  Job must have known the answer to this.  Moses certainly learned the truth of this.  Joseph could tell you the        answer to this.  The man in the tombs knows the answer.  Lazarus’ life is still testifying to the answer.  The answer is that there is nothing too hard for God, therefore, we can be comforted in knowing that He is on the case.  We should just plant our feet firmly in the foundation that has already been laid in Christ Jesus, stand still and see the salvation, deliverance, and power of the Lord at work in our life.

In order to be a help, you have to be available.  Faith needs application to fulfill its promise.  Spiritually many are asleep while yet alive.  Get out of the bed and ready yourself for the reason to live God has given you.  If you want to get out of bed you must wake up, followed by the action of walking out the place that you are spiritually asleep in.  The next thing you have to do is get out of your spiritual sleepwear.  Spiritual sleepwear is not suitable for your daily activity.  Some sleepwear looks like it can be worn out in public but it does not change what its function is, to sleep.   Sleepwear is the attitude that says that your objective is to return to sleep.  In order to be a help you must get out of your previous position by changing your spiritual location and locomotion.  Spiritual location refers to where you are currently in your relationship with God.  Spiritual locomotion refers to what you use as a driving force for the race that you are running.  So, if you are in darkness, then it is time to move toward the light.  If you have been running on your own motivation, it is time to start running on God’s inspiration.   Challenge yourself to get out and be a help to someone today.
