Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Problems can seem overwhelming. Sometimes we don’t know what to do. When that happens we must stand in faith! What the Bible calls “evil days” will come to everyone. They did to Jesus. In this broken world, life can weigh heavily upon us. It might even seem like there is no way to escape from our challenging dilemma. That’s when we must plant both our feet firmly on the ground and say, “God, I’m still going to trust You!”

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) – “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Dear Jesus, would You give me grace this day to stand in faith, to stand in love, and to stand in forgiveness! Sometimes it’s difficult to keep believing. My emotions can get in the way. My own will hinders me, but I want to stand for You. You took a stand for me and gave Your all. I want to do the same for You. I love You, my Lord.

Today, I’m worshiping with Donnie McClurkin and “Stand.”

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

Greetings,

Because of His great love for His people, God continually watches over us.

Psalm 33:18-19 (NKJV) – “Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, [19] to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.”

In this verse, the word “fear” means reverential awe. God not only will protect those who are in ‘awe’ of Him, but when we live each day in reverence, we also experience His abundant mercy and grace. Even though the enemy of our souls comes to attack us, God keeps right on shielding and providing for us!

So, don’t be afraid! God will bless and keep us alive in famine. He will always provide for you and your family, no matter how severe the drought may be!

Thank You, Lord, for loving me so much. You are my Provider and my Deliverer. By Your grace I stand and I am delivered from every adversity. I trust You completely and love You more than words can express!

Today, I’m worshiping with All Nations Assembly and “The Isaiah Song.”

Greetings,

Even though Israel had sinned and moved out from under the shield and protection of God’s grace and favor, thus allowing their enemies to attack them, it saddened God’s heart for His people to struggle. He never enjoys seeing us in pain. In fact, any time His people grew tired of suffering and chose to return to Him, God always accepted them back. Aren’t you glad that when we return to Him after we’ve messed up, that God still hears our cry for help too? He truly loves us.

God not only promises to deliver His people when we call upon Him, but He also promises to allow us to once again “possess our possessions.” When Israel returned to God, He promised to restore all they had lost because of their sinful choices and actions. Listen to Obadiah’s message of hope:

Obadiah 1:17 (NKJV) - "But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, And there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.”

Thank You, Lord, for loving and caring for Your people. You patiently wait for us to return to you when our choices and actions have gotten us into situations that have cost us greatly. When we turn our hearts and faces to You again in devotion, You quickly accept us and restore what the enemy has stolen from us. I thank You for loving us so much!

Today, I’m worshiping with Kurt Carr and “For Every Mountain.”

Greetings,

How well do you know God? Have you thought about His character, what He represents, what He stands for, and His true nature?

Years ago, Pilate pondered these same things:

John 18:38 (NKJV) – “What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all.”

The answers to our questions about God can be found in The Word. To know Him better, there is no substitute for reading His Word. What people “feel” about God is often not even accurate. Human feelings are notoriously unreliable! What people think about God isn’t sufficient. That’s because His thoughts are as high above our thoughts as the heavens are above the earth.

A great way to learn more about God is to study His Word daily. Try joining a program that will help you read through the Bible in a year. Another way to better understand Him is to pray the Psalms each day. You’ll soon begin to sense the Holy Spirit Spirit drawing so much closer. When you truly know Him, you’ll have to agree with Pilate when he said, “I find no fault in Jesus.”

Father, thank You for the truth that I discover on every page of Scripture. It is where I learn about You. Help me to know You better and to become more like You. I long to know You more. What I have already learned about You whets my thirst and causes me to seek to know even more. You are too wonderful for words. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Today, I’m worshiping with Natalie Grant and “My Weapon.”  

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