Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Do you ever pray for God to make you worthy of the calling He has placed upon your life? Paul prayed for that, and I believe we should, too.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (NKJV) – “Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power.”

As believers, the incredible gift of our calling should never be taken nonchalantly. Think of the many people you know who have not yet surrendered to the call of God upon their hearts. Yet, you and I have chosen to answer that call. We responded because He gave us the grace to say, “Yes.” Now that we have accepted His invitation, we must endeavor to be worthy of His grace and love.

Dear Lord, thank You for helping me to say, “Yes” when You extended the call of salvation to my heart. I owe You everything! I want to grow daily and for my life to be worthy of Your love and grace. In Christ, I stand.

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong United and “Whole Heart.”

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

Greetings,

Are you struggling financially? If you’ve been desperately trying to pay your bills and just barely getting by, remember that God wants you to be blessed!

Song of Songs 2:4 (NKJV) – “He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.”

Did you understand those words? God wants to bring His loved ones to His banqueting house—not a house of famine or indebtedness. We serve a God of abundant provisions. Just as He provided for Israel in a wilderness that was incapable of sustaining so many thousands of people, He knows how to assist you and me in those times when we struggle.

Dear Lord, I thank You for providing for all my needs—whether they are spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, or for my family. You are still my Jehovah Jireh, “the Lord Who Provides.” I give You praise and declare Your greatness.

Today, I’m worshiping with Maranda Curtis and “Open Heaven.”

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

Greetings,

You are destined to not only conquer what has been attacking you, but to lead captive whatever has had you bound! This doesn’t happen because we possess power as mortals. It is because of who God is and His power working in us.

Isaiah 14:2 (NKJV) – “Then....they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.”

God’s greatness and all He has done for us goes far beyond my comprehension. The beautiful song, “How Great Thou Art,” has always been one of my favorites. For many years, it was the only hymn I knew that we would sing directly to God about His greatness. All of the others had lyrics that had us singing about Him.

Learning to declare God’s greatness and to personally give Him thanks for setting me free from whatever held me captive in the past continues to transform me. It seems to me that it keeps making God become bigger in my life as my problems become ever smaller.

Father, I thank You for being so amazing! You have been so indescribably beautiful and wonderful to me. Thank You for empowering me to rule over what frequently had me conquered in the past. Oh, how great You are!

Today I’m worshiping with Willow Creek and “How Great Thou Art.”

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

Greetings,

God has been so good to us. Doesn’t that make you want to live in such a way that your life becomes a constant reflection of your gratitude to Him? How pleasing that must be to our Heavenly Father! We can worship Him with other believers while we’re at church or in our time of personal devotion, but it’s even better when our very lives become a continual sacrifice of praise to Him!

Colossians 1:10 (NKJV) – “…that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

Dear Lord, I thank You for saving me. I am so blessed; far beyond what I could ever earn or deserve. Help me to learn more excellent ways of expressing my gratitude for Your goodness and grace. I want to please You and be fruitful in every good work, that you may receive honor and glory through my life. You are worthy to be praised, honored, and glorified!

Today, I’m worshiping with Natalie Grant and “No Stranger.”

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