Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

No matter how serious your problem may be, it should never keep you from worshiping. Ezekiel is a good example for us to follow:

Ezekiel 1:1 (NKJV) – “Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.”

As punishment for their wickedness and idolatry, Israel was carried into captivity. Ezekiel was among the Israeli captives who were forcibly removed from Judah to Babylon. Yet, in a strange land, under the worst possible circumstances, he was “in the Spirit” and saw visions of God.

This also happened to the Apostle John on the isle of Patmos. While working in the salt mines as a prisoner of Rome, he explains in Revelation, chapter 1, what happened on the Lord’s Day. He was “in the Spirit” and saw visions from God!

My Father, help me to learn from these two great men of God. If they could continue worshiping while living in such difficult circumstances, I know that nothing should prevent me from worshiping either. I want to praise You continually, and with all of my heart!

Today, I’m worshiping with Todd Delaney and “Pulling Me Through.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Have you ever considered the fact that God commands us to be strong and to reject fear and anxiety? Read this, and you’ll see what I mean:

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) - “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

God is so interested in our frame of mind and the emotions we feel, that He commands us to be strong, both emotionally and mentally. He wouldn’t do so if we weren’t capable of obeying. We must refuse to be afraid or anxious. It is a choice. To consistently dwell in fear and anxiety is harmful to our health.    

But how do we put into practice this command to be strong and of good courage? How do we reject thoughts and feelings of fear? It begins in knowing that “Abba Father” will always stay beside us and that we’re never alone. So, if our emotions are the result of our thoughts, and our actions are based upon our emotions, you can see how important it is to control our thoughts!    

Thank You, Lord, for your promise to never leave or forsake me and to be with me wherever I go. I love You for being so faithful to keep Your Word!

Today, I’m worshiping with William McDowell and “Loss for Words.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

You may not have the most beautiful voice, but there is One who loves to hear you sing …. and that is our Lord! David said,

Psalm 13:6 (NKJV) – “I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.”

In your daily devotions, don’t forget to sing to the Lord! Collect a few worship songs that you really enjoy and sing along with them. Let the sentiments and phrases of that song become your own expressions of worship to God. You will be amazed at how it will expand your devotional life and help develop greater intimacy with our God.

Dear Lord.… ”Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; how great Thou art, how great Thou art…” You are not only a Mighty God, but my own personal Lord and Savior!

Today, I’m worshiping with Lauren Daigle and “How Great Thou Art.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Did you know that you’re not at the mercy of every thought or emotion that tries to enter your mind? Some people feel they have no control over these things but they do.

Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) – “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”

How do you “SET” your mind on things above instead of things on the earth? You can make those adjustments by “dialing in” to the right frequency. We can hear many voices speaking in the world around us, but most of them are of little or no value—and some are downright destructive!

So, be sure you’re tuning in and listening to the right Voice! The reason this is so important is because the voices you listen to will determine the thoughts you think. In turn, they influence the emotions you’re feeling that day. Our emotions often determine our actions. Ask Adam and Eve. They listened to the wrong voice, and look what happened.

Dear Lord, Your Word says in Matthew 4:4 that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. That’s why I’m tuning in to hear the Words You will speak over me this day. Thank You for leading me by Your Voice!

Today, I’m worshiping with Kim Walker-Smith and “Breathing Room.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
