We can’t begin to know the abundant treasures available to us from the Lord. With Divine counsel and guidance from the Holy Spirit, we can move forward fearlessly…having God-given insight and intimate fellowship from above.

II Chronicles 20:20 ” Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, ‘ Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in His prophets and you will be successful.’ “
Faith in a brand new Christian starts out small. It grows with every trust building experience…just like that Lincoln Log set you had as a kid. Faith is built one log or block at a time. And for those times when your faith is not strong…look to Godly people who can come along side and shore up your wavering faith.
Acts 10:15 ” Do not call anything impure God has made clean.”
The Lord showed the Apostle Paul that all men – whether Jew or Gentile – were made in His image. This powerful encounter with God so impacted him, that later in Romans 10:12, Paul declares, “For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – the same Lord is Lord of all…”
Haggai 1:5 ” Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘ Give careful thought to your ways.’ “
Today is the day the Lord would like you to assess your walk with Him. Are you doing everything He desires…or has life gotten in the way? Has your path veered off course from the perfect plan He set out for you? Prudently, mindfully, evaluate your ways…and the Lord will faithful to reveal any changes that need to be done.
I Chronicles 17:4 ” Go and tell My servant David, ‘ This is what the Lord says: You are not the one to build Me a house to dwell in.’ “
David was a man after the Lord’s heart, but he was also a warrior who had shed much blood in many battles. The Lord gave David the vision for the Temple and all the plans…but it was his son, Solomon, who actually built it. In I Chronicles 22:9, God tells David that he’ll have a son who will be a man of peace and rest…and he will build My Temple…and that’s what the name Solomon means…peace.
II Corinthians 12:7 ” To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh…”
Many think that Paul’s affliction was some kind of chronic skin disease such as psoriasis, which causes unsightly red scaly patches of irritated flesh. Regardless of the cause for his torment and annoyance, Paul went on to say that he had begged the Lord three times to take it away, but each time the Lord had replied, ” My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” ( II Corinthians 12: 8-9) Paul’s fulfilled destiny didn’t rest in himself, but in what God did through him…and it really didn’t matter what the “outside” of the temple looked like, for it was the inside that God was concerned with.
Proverbs 30: 7-8 ” Two things I ask of You, O Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.”
Lord, I ask for just enough. Provide me with a sufficient amount that I will be content, and always grateful. Father, don’t give me too much, or I’ll hoard or squander and waste what you’ve given me. But neither do I want to be left hungry and lacking, for then I may dishonor Your name. Yes Lord, give me just enough for today and I will trust You for tomorrow.
Galatians 1: 3-5 ” Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. “
Over the last 2,000 years things have changed in the world…but in many ways they have stayed the same. Satan’s presence on the earth is still very evident. He remains at work, deceiving with every kind of wickedness known to fallen man. But regardless of Satan’s reign here on earth, as Believers, we can confidently know that we will be delivered from the lurking clutches of the evil one.
Psalm 146: 1-2 ” Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.”
Declare the goodness of the Lord. Exclaim His greatness, wonder, and glory. He is so worthy of our praise. Rejoice in all His wonderful blessings…those you are aware of, and those you are unmindful of. Glorify the Lord with your praises as long as you have breath in your body to do so. Praise the Lord from your innermost being…Praise His name!
I Timothy 4:8 ” For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
We all understand that routine exercise is good for us and has many physical advantages. But the virtue of godliness has far more benefits for the complete mind, body, and spirit. Godliness will not only bear fruit of contentment, peace, and confidence in this life… but promises the gracious gift of eternal life to come.
