Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

When you discover your purpose in life and begin working to accomplish it, other things that once seemed so valuable and important might lose their value.  

Psalm 20:4 (NKJV) – “May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose.”

Knowing your purpose will even change the way you pray. Your new-found sense of direction may create new requests that you find yourself asking God to grant. Once you know why you were created, the things that will help you fulfill your assignment will be added to the top of your new prayer list. And guess what? God grants them because you are now praying His will for your life.

Father, I can think of nothing more disturbing than to live and die and never know my purpose for being here. Help me to discern my assignment and then complete it. I ask You to guide me in this, in Jesus’ Name!

Today, I’m worshiping with Matthew Stevenson and “Yahweh.”

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

Greetings,

Don’t you love studying the lives of the twelve Apostles? One of them has been called “Doubting Thomas.” Do you know why?

John 20:24-25 (NKJV) – “Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. [25] The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

All Thomas did was miss one church service. And wouldn’t you know it, that’s when Jesus showed up! Thomas thought the other disciples were joking when they told him what had happened. You never know what you’ll miss when you’re not in church!

Thomas told the other disciples, “I’ll have to see this myself to believe!” A few days later when Thomas was with the other disciples, Jesus appeared. That day Thomas became so convinced that Christ had indeed risen from the dead that he later died as a martyr, but the name “Doubting Thomas” stuck.

Lord, I want to be a believer. I don’t want to demand proof of Your power. Rather I want to stand upon and have faith in the promises of Your Word. Help me believe, even when I cannot see You working in my favor.

Today, I’m worshiping with Steffany Gretzinger and “Endless Alleluia.”

Greetings,

When Christ came to earth as the second Adam, He came to reverse all the damage and pain the first Adam had brought upon the human race. That process continues to be worked out in our own lives as we learn to live by the principles of God’s Word.

Romans 5:18-19 (NKJV) – “Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.”

When Adam sinned, the judgment of death was passed down to the entire human race. But because of the spotless life and sacrificial death of our Savior, victory and eternal life are now available for all who believe in Him.

My Jesus, I thank You for dying for me. After what You did for me, I want to live for You with all of my heart. I can experience fulness of life in every area of my existence because of You. You are my Savior and I praise you!

Today, I’m worshiping with Chandler Moore and “Refiner.”

Greetings,

If you allow your attention and thoughts to be drawn away from God, and turned to those who do not know Him, you can be deceived.

Psalm 73:2-3 (NKJV) – “But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. [3] For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.”

The writer of this psalm had become so envious of the prosperity of the wicked that he almost fell. Thankfully, he kept holding on to God. But as he continued to observe, he realized there was no reason to be jealous of those who didn’t know our Heavenly Father. While attending church one day, God showed him the destiny of the ungodly:

Psalm 73:17 (NKJV) – “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end.”

Father, help me to always keep my eyes fixed on You and never be distracted or envious of those who are boastful and proud. Thank You for keeping me from falling into that trap of the enemy!  

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

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