II Timothy 1:6 ” For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God…”
The gifts of the Spirit…if the Holy Spirit resides within, you possess them. The question is – are you allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you to exercise these gifts for the edification of others? Have you become lazy and apathetic? Do you even know your gifts? Three places you can look for a listing of Spiritual gifts would be I Corinthians 12: 7-11, Romans 12: 6-8, and Ephesians 4: 11-12. We are all given a gift mix that meshes and complements our personalities and bents. I pray that your gifts are rekindled with passion and that you will be filled with a boldness and zeal to move out in them.
I Kings 9:4 “…if you walk before Me in integrity of heart and uprightness…”
I know it when I see it… integrity. It’s that sincere honesty, and moral character that can make a profound impact. A person of integrity doesn’t need to be some super spiritual church leader, they just need to be sincere about their walk with Jesus. Integrity is imitating our Savior…walking as He walked…talking as He talked. It’s simply treating others as Jesus would.
Colossians 3:2 ” Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Where is your devotion directed towards? Who are you mindful of? If it’s fallen man and this sinful world, you’ll never be satisfied or happy – for the temporary fixes of this world will never fill that God-shaped hole in your being. For only our Lord can fill that gaping hole with His peace, love, and forgiveness. Set your mind and eyes…on Jesus.
Isaiah 35: 10 ” …and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and signing will flee away.”
Everyday we should be overjoyed and full of thanksgiving for what the Lord has done for us. Jesus paid the ultimate price for our freedom…He delivered us from the sentence of certain death and liberated us from our sins. Jesus ransomed us from ourselves and our depraved nature. Thank You Jesus for Your love and mercy!
Job 38:27 ” Who sends rain, to water the land, and make it spout with grass.”
I just got done doing a yearly rite of early Spring…I ordered my garden seed! For me, there’s so much hope tied up in that little task. Hope of warmer weather, hope of a great growing season ahead, hope of a plentiful harvest to share with others. Hope gives us, just that – hope! Without hope and looking forward, there is only despair, depression, and doubt. Thank You Lord, for Your everlasting, ever renewing hope!
Acts 20:24 “…so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from The Lord Jesus…”
There is no description for the happiness and satisfaction in fulfilling our purpose…our ministry in life. Each one of us has been given a specific calling…a niche in life that only we can fill within our circle of influence. And God entrusts to each one of us unique gifts, talents, and passions as we all labor for the Lord.
Luke 6:9 ” Then Jesus said to them, ‘ I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?’ “
The definition of legalism is – the strict, literal, often excessive adherence to the Law. In this verse, Jesus had just healed a man – on Sunday, in Church, in front of God and everybody! He was attempting to show the crowd that they had taken the Law and turned it into something God had never intended. Legalism will take our focus from God to works…it will change our perspective from doing good, to what we can’t do. In Mark 2:27, Jesus gives a clear answer to this matter when He says, ” The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
II Corinthians 12:15 ” …though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.”
We as humans love, expecting something in return. But If we look at Jesus, He was a servant to everyone…always denying Himself, and teaching others that they should follow His example. To make an impact in the world today, we can’t just proclaim the Gospel, but we must be willing to become broken bread and poured out wine in the hands of our Savior for the sake of others.
Psalm 112: 7 ” He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”
Who’s report will you believe today? The Doctor’s grave news, or the promises of your Lord? The sad account from a family member, or the unfailing mercy and love of God? Fix your eyes on Jesus, and the certainty of His trustworthiness.
