Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

All true wisdom begins with acknowledging that we serve an awesome God. This is what the scripture says:

Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) - "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

When you begin to understand the greatness and holiness of God (which is the true meaning of “the fear of the Lord”), the parts of life that didn’t seem to fit will begin to fall into place. Suddenly, you realize that we must be special to God. That must be the case, because He is so holy and we were so unlike Him, that had He not made a way for us to be saved, we would surely have been lost forever!

Christ came to earth and gave His life for us. That is more than the mind can grasp! How could He love us so much?

When we begin to comprehend this powerful truth, our view of this world begins to change. We want our lives to glorify the One who died for us. We begin to desire for our words and deeds to reflect His love and holiness. The cross gives us the perspectives we need in life.

Jesus, thank You for Calvary and for giving Your blood for me. Oh Lord, keep me near the cross! Let my life exalt You high.

Today, I’m worshiping with The Mississippi Mass Choir and “Near the Cross.”

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

Greetings,

God cannot lie. Since His very nature is truth, it is impossible for Him to tell a falsehood.  He is not only faithful, He cannot change. That means we can always trust Him to keep His Word.

Titus 1:2 (NKJV) – “…in hope of eternal life which God, WHO CANNOT LIE, promised before time began.”

You can always depend upon His reliability. Our God is committed to keeping every promise He has ever made. At times, His promises might seem to be delayed; but they are never denied. Keep believing, because it is still coming!

Thank You, Lord, for being so faithful. I can stand upon every Word You have ever spoken. You will always be my promise-keeping God!

Today, I’m worshiping with Fellowship Worship and “Is He Worthy.”

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

Greetings,

Today, let’s examine ourselves. You know what I mean by that? Let’s work on our hearts, our attitudes, and our thoughts.

During corporate worship, the power of seeing God high and lifted up with other believers, gives us the courage to confront ourselves. Even though Inspire has online streaming—which has been an incredible blessing, worshiping online is always more like a decaffeinated version of church than the real thing. Right? It helps to assemble and worship with other believers.

Without heartfelt worship, things can begin to creep into our hearts. Wrong desires, negative thoughts and bad attitudes can prevail if they aren’t challenged by the Presence of our Mighty God.

2 Peter 3:14 (NKJV) – “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;”

In our time of personal devotion, let’s work on correcting our attitudes and any desires that are not Christ-like.

Father, help me to always keep You in my heart and mind. I want to be more like You. Refocus my attention on what counts. I love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Shirley Caesar and the old song, “I’ve Got a Long Way to Go.”

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

Greetings,

Judgment demands recompense and payment for our failures and mistakes; an eye for an eye. Yet, we read that God is forgiving and gracious. All He asks is that we repent and ask Him to forgive us.

Psalm 103:10 (NKJV) – “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.”

God is merciful to those who seek Him. He doesn’t punish us according to our iniquities. Rather, our sins were laid upon the sacrificial Lamb of God. He became sin for us. When He took our penalty upon Himself, Christ was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. Oh, happy day, when Jesus washed our sins away!

Lord, I thank You for Your forgiveness. Even though I don’t deserve it, You still cleanse and forgive me of all my sins. I will always love You, my Lord and Savior!

Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and the FBCG Choir and “Oh Happy Day.”

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