Stay inspired in the word.

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!

Greetings,

Faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God. While our desires, needs, and persistence may gain God’s attention, faith is what prompts Him to act!  

Galatians 3:5 (NKJV) – “Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”

During the time when the Prophet Elisha ministered, there were many widows and lepers in the land. But, as Jesus explained to His disciples, only one widow was sustained, and only Naaman the Syrian, was healed of leprosy. Did God care about the others? Of course He did! But He loves to respond to those who through faith place a demand on His power and ability.

Lord, let faith arise in my heart! Give me total confidence in the fact that Your promises CANNOT fail. Teach me to accept Your Word as absolute Truth that will stand even after heaven and earth pass away. I love You, my Lord!

Today, I’m worshiping with Kristian Standfill and “There’s Nothing That Our God  Can’t Do.”

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

Greetings,

Sometimes the best action we can take is to do nothing, and simply wait upon God. After all, unless the Lord empowers, our abilities and talents will only carry us so far.

Isaiah 25:9 (NKJV) – “And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

Those who put their trust in God will never be disappointed. Even though He doesn’t always answer our prayers in the exact manner we had anticipated, He ALWAYS does what is best for us!

Waiting on Him demonstrates our understanding that He ALONE is God. The One we serve will never leave or forsake those who put their trust in Him.

Thank You, Lord, for the many times, that You have proven that You are MY God. You have demonstrated Your commitment to me again and again. Not once have You failed or disappointed me. I love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Benita Jones and Chandler Moore and “You Will Answer.”

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

Greetings,

The words of the old song, “Amazing Grace” says it really well: …”through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come.”

Have you stopped to think of all that you have successfully gone through, and how all the while you were facing it, the enemy was saying that you would not survive? But you’ve made it thus far. God’s amazing grace has brought us through situations and battles that the enemy thought would surely destroy us. But we‘re still standing! The enemy is a liar and a loser—and we win!

Psalm 129:2 (NKJV) - "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.”

God has never allowed the enemy to defeat us and He never will. He will always cover and protect us—even when we don’t realize He is there. Oh, how good our God is to His people!

Thank You for protection and grace, Lord. Thank you unfailing kindness. You are faithful like no other. I have learned that I truly can rely upon You. You are my Rock and my Strength!

Today, I’m worshiping with Donnie McClurkin and “Great Is Your Mercy.”

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