Keep Moving

This....

Be encouraged. 

God Bless. 

Keep Moving

Hope is not an emotional high. It isn’t endless happiness. It is the vision of possibility that brings clarity and craving together. With desire to see our hopes as motivation; we walk in the faith that the hope is not only possible to achieve, but an eventuality. Faith and works go together, and this perhaps is revealed most acutely in hope. Belief activates us in movement.

The invitation to keep moving forward is not a mandate for burnout. Movement can look different from day to day. It can be a small step one day and a mile the next. Don’t be discouraged if your journey seems to be slower than someone else’s. Your life is unique, and so is your path. Your talents and your challenges will also be different. Slow movement is still movement. Consistent small steps forward are shown to lead to long term success.

Considering this, set an intention to take small steps toward your goal. Don’t forget to include a day of rest!

In You

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. (NLT) -Psalm 56:3

Fear overtakes us when we focus on temporary things. Fear wins when we focus only on what the news is reporting. When we start feeling fear rise up in us, turn your focus to the Lord. Put your trust in Him. He is our only sure thing in this life.

Quote of the Day -Joyce Meyer

“Don’t run to the phone, run to the throne.” 

– Joyce Meyer

DreamBusters

I can contest to some of the word's written below so when I read this little devotional I was encouraged. 

I wanted to share the wealth. 

God Bless. 

Listen to God, Not Your Doubts Have you noticed that the moment you establish a goal in your life you start hearing people say, "Who do you think you are'? "It can't be done, forget about it?" I call them DreamBusters.

DreamBusters can be critics. They can be cynics. They can come from the culture around you. They can also be friends and family. But the biggest DreamBuster can be you, the way you talk to yourself. The antidote to the voices of doubt is to instead listen to the voice of God. Just imagine all the DreamBusters that were in Noah's life. How would you like to be Noah's next-door-neighbor? "That guy Noah, he thinks God speaks to him, but he's just messing up all of our property values by building that ark in his front yard.' The Bible tells us that Noah listened to God. And what did he hear? He heard God's warning that the world was going to be destroyed. He heard what he had not yet seen. That's what faith is, being certain of something we don't see. So Noah didn't turn back on the vision God had given him. Instead, he built the ark.

To Hear God

To Hear God, Get Near Him Noah built the ark in faith. 

Something to ponder.

God Bless.

"He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before." (Hebrews 11:7a NLT) 

How did he believe these things that had never happened before would actually happen? Because Noah could hear God! So how do you do that? You say, "I want to trust God, but I don't hear him.' To hear God you've got to get near God. You don't hear God when your mind is filled with a thousand other distractions. You've got to get alone with God and be quiet. The Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God." That means sit down and shut up. That's how you hear God and get near to God. You got to sit alone and just be quiet with your Bible, and say, "God, is there anything you want to say to me'? You read God's Word and you talk to him about what's on your heart. Pray -- God, I want to listen to you, not the voices of doubt. I want to hear you, and I promise to then obey you. I want to be one of the people that you can use and bless in the next ten years. I want those years to be a decade of destiny for me and my family.

Today : You Are His Delight

TODAY’S VERSE

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)

TODAY’S MESSAGE

Some thoughts are so powerful, they can change your life. Or at least they should. This passage is that way. If you can read, “He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing” and not feel special, not feel like God adores you, not be moved to gratitude and thankfulness for His attention toward you, then you need to read it again. If you can read, “The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save you” and not feel secure, special and in a safe place, then you need to stop, ask God to speak to your heart, and read this verse over. Today’s verse can change your life, if you let it.

Don't Give Up

Some food for thought. 

God Bless.

Don't Give Up! 

When God gives you a dream, you can be sure you'll run into delays, difficulties, detours and dead ends along the way. They are a natural part of life. But you can be ready for them. Now if anybody had a right to be discouraged, it was Noah. Do you know how long it took Noah to build the ark? 120 years. Could you go 120 years on a project without one word of encouragement from anybody else in society? Noah trusted God. And when he heard God's warning about the future, Noah believed him even though there was no sign of a flood. I bet there were many days that Noah didn't feel like going to work, but for 43,800 days, he went to the same place and he worked. He never gave up. Don't give up on your dream either. Don't give up on the marriage. Don't give up on your health. Don't, don't, don't give up. God is in control. You haven't read the final chapter of your life. God's already written it, but you haven't read it yet. The Bible says, "God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him." God is looking for people that he can bless. I want you to be one of those people. Don't give up!

Make Your Requests with Thankfulness

Joyce Meyer 

An open Bible ready for reading a daily devotional, next to a cup of coffee and vase of roses.

Adapted from Starting Your Day Right

And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

 Philippians 4:7 (AMPC)

God’s Word reveals a wonderful plan for your life. It shows how God sees you, and what He has for you through Jesus Christ. Keep your thoughts and words in agreement with God’s Word.

Say, “Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds. I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. I am blessed going in and going out. The blessings of God chase me down and overtake me. God is on my side. I am blessed to be a blessing to everyone I meet today.”

Prayer of the Day: Thank You, Father, for the way You and Your Word guide and direct me as I go through my day, and thank You for the wonderful plan You have for my life.

The Creator

Amen!

Encouragement

I love this little devotional. 

I love what it implies and for me, encouragement is right up there on my list of being Christ like. 

Be encouraged and go encouraged someone today.

God Bless. 

Today : Encouragement

TODAY’S VERSE

Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29 (NLT)

TODAY’S MESSAGE

What a wonderful calling. What a tremendous privilege is ours. God has called us to be an encourager. Encouragement. It can change a person’s life; alter the destiny of families. Nations can rise and fall – alright, maybe not that dramatic, but who can deny the power of encouragement? How many of us have been overwhelmed, about ready to give up and someone stopped and in a loving moment, poured encouragement all over us? Is there anything more refreshing? God loves the whole world and He has chosen you and I to be His messenger of encouragement. Might He lead us to someone in need of encouragement today.

Blessed

"Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers" - (Psalms 1:1)

Devotional 

The Psalmist gives instructions for righteous living. Which do you want? Blessing or curse? Blessing leads to happiness and righteous living while curse leads to unhappiness and a wicked lifestyle. To be called blessed you must avoid that which is evil. Evil works, evil company, evil deeds, and evil speech must be shunned. Blessed is different and it demands a different lifestyle. Do not be pressured by the way of the world which strives with the way of God. Walk the righteous path and be called blessed to the honor and glory of your Father above.

Lying

Truth. Be encouraged. 

God Bless.

Lying

The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. (NLT) -Proverbs 12:22

Lying is one way we build sin traps in our lives. Even a small step away from the truth can start a domino effect that pushes us further and further away from the truth as we strive to cover our lies. Soon enough you are surrounded by a whole web of lies! Avoid that first lie. Make truth telling a value in your life.

First Love

He is and was and always will be our first love. 

Or at least He should and needs to be.

God Bless.

"We love him, because he first loved us." - (1 John 4:19)

Devotional 

John writes about God's love for us. First love, these words may bring back sweet or bitter memories. It's the kind of love you don't forget easily because it leaves a lasting impression and influences who you are. God loved you first, before you knew about Him, before you were born, before the beginning of time, before your grandparents met, He was the initiator, He loved you FIRST! That's the kind of love every woman desires. He made ALL the necessary provisions for you, He fights for you, He protects you, He delivers you, He favors you, your ultimate response should be to love Him in return. This first love is authentic, embrace it.

Jesus Reconciles Us

Here is some food for thought. 

Stay encouraged. 

God Bless. 

Jesus Reconciles Us

 COLOSSIANS 1:15-23

Now [God] has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.

— Colossians 1:22

I have friends and family who have been estranged from one another. It is, at best, unpleasant. At worst, it is horrible and painful. Spouses despise each other; children and parents don’t speak to each other for years; business partners want to be rid of each other. Things can get ugly in this old world.

This is why the news of God’s reconciliation is so marvelous. The hatred, enmity, and hostility are scrubbed away. We are doused in the cleansing blood of Jesus. We can be reconciled to God and to others because we are made blameless and spotless again through Jesus.

Jesus makes us spotless and blameless through his own body and blood. We are no longer stained, sinful, and bitter. We are new people, remade with holy ingredients. Once we are reconciled with God, we learn to forgive as the Lord has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). It is no longer the old sinner who comes forward to bind up the ruptures we have with others. It is a new person, who is holy and without blame or blemish. Once we are made new in Christ, we can respond to others as Jesus responded to them. And they can see us not as the blameworthy people who harmed them, but through the eyes of Christ, who accepts us all. Anyone who is reconstituted in Jesus can and should accept another.

God, thank you for reconciling us to yourself through the death of Jesus. Help us to be reconciled with others through Jesus as well. Amen.

Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life

Thank you, Lord for giving up everything for us.

Be encouraged and God Bless. 

Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life

JOHN 11:17-27; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”

— John 11:25

This quotation is a brief summary of the good news of Jesus. He says that anyone who believes in him will live, even after death. He says that life comes only through him. And he does not merely say that he knows how to find the resurrection and the life; he says, “I am the resurrection and the life.” This occurs amid the dramatic story of the raising of Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha, Jesus’ close friends. Lazarus became ill and died while Jesus was away. Jesus even waited to come so that everyone would know Lazarus was surely dead by the time Jesus arrived. Jesus did this so that his followers would believe, learning that he had the power to raise someone from the dead. Then Jesus went to Lazarus’s tomb and brought his friend back to life, so that everyone would believe and see the glory of God (John 11:1-44). Soon after that, resurrected life became available to all—through Jesus’ own death and resurrection. As the apostle Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15, Jesus became “the firstfruits” of resurrection life for all who “belong to him”—that is, for all who believe in him as Savior and Lord. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, all can rise with him. All that God requires is that we believe Jesus is indeed the resurrection and the life.

Jesus, you are the resurrection and the life. Raise us with you. Thank you for giving us life after death, that we may live with you as part of God’s family forever. Amen.

Here is a wonderful picture of the Glory of God’s kingdom. It is a Righteous Kingdom, and that Righteousness is also the Righteousness of “The King’s Son”, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
