Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

When you begin to understand the nature of God and how much He cares for you, it will affect how you respond to the normal challenges of life.

Proverbs 17:27 (NKJV) – “He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.”

While Jesus and His disciples were sailing along, He was sound asleep when a raging storm suddenly attacked their boat. The disciples were so terrified, they wondered how He could sleep so peacefully in the midst of the howling wind. Quickly, they awoke the Master and asked if He even cared that they were about to perish. But they had misunderstood His calm spirit, thinking it was a lack of concern for their safety.

After God has brought you through a few storms in your personal life, you no longer panic or become fearful and afraid. You understand about His commitment to keep you safe.

Father, I thank You today for keeping me safe through the many storms of life. Even in the challenges we’re facing right now, I thank You for keeping me calm and secure in this season. I know that You are going to bring me through.

Today, I’m worshiping with Mickey Mangun and “Worship Medley.”

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

Greetings,

Let’s refuse to be sensitive when we’re criticized by others. Don’t take to heart everything that people may say about you.

Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 (NKJV) – “Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you. [22] For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others.”

If someone says something that’s hurtful, maybe they’ve had a bad day. Or they may have completely misunderstood a situation. Perhaps they heard only part of a story; and without all the facts, no one can intelligently assess a situation.

Whatever the reason, some people are sure to say unkind things about you. But don’t take it to heart. We have all done the same thing, haven’t we? If you let it get under your skin, it can affect your spirit or even the way you feel about yourself. All God requires is that we serve Him and do our best to please Him.

Father, give me the ability to ‘tune out’ any unkind words people say that do not reflect the values You have given me. If there is merit in the words they speak, help me to correct those things, rather than becoming angry.

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong and “Who You Say I Am.”

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

Greetings,

God is rich in grace!

Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) - “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”

The simple meaning of the word “grace” is: God’s unmerited favor. So, you can’t do anything to deserve it. He gives us grace—not because of who we are, but because of who He is. His grace will go before us and open doors, while closing other doors that shouldn’t be opened. Grace makes a way for us, even when we’re unworthy to receive it. All you have to do is just believe it—and receive it!

Grace protects us when we cannot protect ourselves. It gives us strength that we do not possess and calls us righteous when we know we’re flawed. Are you willing to accept His grace? Why not embrace your new identity and become who grace declares you to be!

Father, thank You for Your grace that is so amazing! Today, I declare that I am clean, I am forgiven, I am strong, I am righteous, I am healed, I am blessed, and I am delivered! Your grace has made me who I am!

Today, I’m worshiping with Unspoken and “Call It Grace.”

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

Greetings,

Today, let’s make a conscious effort to reject all feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. God’s future for you is secure, even if it’s not visible at this moment. This is His plan for your life:

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) – “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) – “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.”

His thoughts toward you are for peace—NOT evil. His plan is to give you a future and hope. Feelings of insecurity cause anxiety, which leads to depression.

Father God, thank You for the good Word that You have spoken over my life. I reject all negative thoughts. Instead of worry, I will rejoice that You have already planned my future! I will not be anxious or entertain feelings of stress and fear. Instead of depression, I’m claiming joy unspeakable in my heart!

Today, I’m worshiping with Jeremy Riddle and “What Joy is Found.”

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