Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

After suffering a defeat or setback, you might be tempted to believe that you no longer have a future. You might think that it’s all over, and the best thing you can do is just wait for your reward in heaven.

Listen to what God spoke to Israel when they had lost everything.

Zechariah 8:12 (NKJV) – “For the seed shall be prosperous, The vine shall give its fruit, The ground shall give her increase, And the heavens shall give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people To possess all these.”

God’s promise to those who remained was that He would make them prosperous, cause their vines to bring forth fruit and the ground to give its increase once again. He declared that all who remained from the captivity would be greatly blessed. And that’s what happened!

Don’t give up on yourself because God hasn’t given up on you. You need to know that His plans are to bless you!

Father, we are thankful for Your immutable promises. You will cause EVERY WORD of them to come to pass. For all Your precious promises, and Your commitment to me, I worship You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Jason Nelson and “In the Room.”

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

Greetings,

Today is the beginning of a brand new year of hope and promise. God wants to bless you because you serve Him, but the enemy wants to hinder God’s favor.

Did you know there is a hiding place from the attacks, slander, and plots of the enemy that are designed to discourage you? It’s a place where all satan’s strategies fail and none of his schemes can ever succeed. That hiding place is the Presence of God.

Psalm 31:19-20 (NKJV) - “Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! [20] YOU SHALL HIDE THEM IN THE SECRET PLACE OF YOUR PRESENCE From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues.”

Psalm 91, reaffirms for us that the place of safety is in the Presence of our Holy God. Satan cannot harm us when we’re living in the shadow of our Mighty Creator. While in His Presence, we are protected and sheltered from any enemy that seeks to harm us, just as Israel was.

On this first day of the New Year, draw me close to You, Lord. Keep me in Your Presence all year long. For there I am safe, blessed, and secure. I want to abide in Your Presence this year.

Today, I’m worshiping with Shane & Shane and “In the Secret.”

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

Greetings,

What things in our lives have the greatest value?

Matthew 26:6-9 (NKJV) – “And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, [7] a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. [8] But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? [9] For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

The disciples grumbled because they only considered the worth of Mary’s perfume, instead of the greater worth of the One she was anointing.

How many of us have failed to recognize the value of something when it is right before our eyes! Have we underestimated the worth of our spouse, our children, our health, or our friends? What about the freedom to worship and attend church, and so much more? What about the value of our relationship with God?

Lord, I thank You for the amazing gifts of family, health, friends and all the other things that You have given me. But I declare that You are worth more than anything else in my life by far. May I never fail to realize how precious You are. You are the fairest of ten thousand to my soul! You are the Lily of the valley and the Rose of Sharon. There isn’t another like You. My praise is Yours.

Today, I’m worshiping with Paul McClure and “To Sing His Praise Again.”

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

Greetings,

In the Book of Revelation, we are told that the church of Ephesus had lost their passion for Christ.  

Revelation 2:4 (NKJV) – “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”

This can happen to anyone who fails to maintain their daily personal altar of devotion to God, and fail to keep it burning brightly. May our hearts burn so intensely for God, that the flame of our love will never flicker or be extinguished.

Lord, just as You instructed the Old Testament priests to never allow the fire on the altar to go out, I pray that the fire of my love for You will always burn brightly. Fan the flames today, Lord. Purify my heart. I want to want You more. I desire to love You with greater passion and fervency of heart, soul and mind.

Today I’m worshiping with Capitol City Music and “Sweetest Name.”

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