Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

In this fractured and divided age, have you ever felt as if society is too angry, critical, or filled with hate? Does it seem that the enemy is constantly seeking an opportunity to  find fault? The author of this psalm understood those feelings:  

Psalm 57:4 (NKJV) – “My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.”

While the times in which we live may seem unusual, today’s challenges are not new at all. Even when this psalm was written, people were critical and hostile. David, the author of this psalm, was fleeing from Saul, who was doing his best to kill him. But if God protected David, why wouldn’t He do the same for you?

Thank You, Lord, for protecting and keeping us safe. I’m asking You to heal the many divisions in our broken world and speak to those who would love to harm Your people. Protect Your children in countries where they are persecuted for their faith. Throw down tyrants and end oppression. Speak peace and comfort to those who are suffering.

Today, I’m worshiping with Clint Brown and “Lord, I Praise You.”

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

Greetings,

Are you ready for God to bring all those Words to pass that He has spoken over your life? Are you ready for His blessings to come, without further delay?  

Ezekiel 12:25 (NKJV) – “For I am the LORD. I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed.”

There is a moment when God says, “This is your time!” Because He is our Lord, it will come to pass when He speaks. Let’s agree together that His promises for your life, health, finances, marriage, and ministry will be fulfilled, without further delay!

Lord, I thank You that when You speak, it must come to pass. I declare that when my time comes, Your blessings for my life will no longer be delayed. I praise You for having the power to act now!

Today, I’m worshiping with William McDowell and Darlene Zschech and “Way Maker.”

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

Greetings,

Ever notice how some people don’t know you when you really need them? We all know the feeling of being abandoned by so-called friends in a time of adversity. They seem to avoid us when we are at our lowest, but when life is good, they are always around.

Oh, how thankful we should be for our Friend who will never leave us during those difficult seasons of life. He will stay so close, even when we’re being violently attacked by the enemy.  

Psalm 31:7 (NKJV) – “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities.”

The psalmist rejoiced because God knew him not just in good times but even in adverse situations. The opposition the writer was referring to was people who lied, cheated, and tried to destroy him, for no reason.

Thank You, Lord, for staying with me, not only in the good times, but when things aren’t going so well. I praise You for being so faithful! You don’t just know me when I am on top of the world and life is good. You know me even in the most difficult circumstances and seasons that life can create.

Today, I’m worshiping with Bebe and Marvin Winans and “Stand.”

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

Greetings,

People are in awe of those who have gained impressive titles, fame, and fortune. We are amazed by their accomplishments and forget they will soon fade away. The Apostle Paul chose not to make that mistake.  

2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV) – “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.”

Those who seek to impress others add very little value to our world. However, a dedicated doctor, nurse, teacher, fireman, or police officer can do more good than a dozen ‘so-called’ celebrities who seek fame and fortune. A movie actor or singer can receive a higher salary for a single movie than an ‘essential worker’ will be paid in a lifetime. Sadly, people idolize celebrities and ignore those who are so much more deserving.  

Why should we care or even talk about this? It’s because when we honor those who are worthy it makes society function more smoothly. Having stated the obvious, the One who should receive the highest honor and praise is our Lord. Think of what He does for us each and every day of our lives!  

Thank You, Lord. I praise You because You have been good to me like no other. Every day Your blessings overflow in my life. Because of who You are, I enjoy favor, health, love, and kindness. I praise You!

Today. I’m worshiping with Steffany Gretzinger & Jeremy Riddle and “All Is for Your Glory.”

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