Who God Sees, When He Sees You!

Don't become what people think you should become, become whom God wants you to be! Even Jesus was faced with people wanting Him to become something He wasn't suppose to be.

Just because Jesus fed multitudes out of very little and showed them miracles they were going to try and force Him to become their King. Not the King of their salvation, but rather the king of their land.

The bible says that when Jesus perceived what the people were trying to do He departed from them (John 6:15). This goes to show that people have always and will always tell you what they think is best for you. Do not follow the opinions of others, follow the facts of God!

Start Your Days Off Right!

Some days are just designed to be longer than others. The best way to prepare for long days is to start your days off with Jesus. The bible clearly tells us that although we may perish on the outside, our inside is renewed daily. Let God renew you!

He wants you to start your days off on the right path. The path begins and ends with Him. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they are absolutely right, if you feast on the Word of God!

Obedience is Better

Blessings come through obedience. How can anyone expect anything from someone they do not obey? God wants to reaffirm your faith in Him, and He can only do that if you obey His commands. He may have a particular blessing lined up for you, but you need to obey His instructions and directions.

Sometimes His ways are unconventional, but remember that He has your best interest at heart. So follow God not only with your lips, but also with your heart and mind. He will never leave you nor forsake you...

On Time and In Time

Sometimes we expect things to work on our time instead of God's. We want everything to happen when we think its a good time for it to happen. God has the final say in every matter.

Do not think for one minute that He doesn't know what He's doing, or that you can do His job better than Him. You may say you don't think that way or feel that way but if you think things should be done when you expected them to be you are.

God has a master plan for you. Have enough faith to sometimes just be still and know that He is God!

Finisher of Your Faith

I know that God has my back because Psalm 138:8 says that the Lord will perfect that which concerns me. So I will not worry or stress about my plans, my situation, or my circumstances.

God is the author and finisher of our faith. Let Him finish what He promised He will - your faith. This may be a test of your loyalty, your trust, and your faith in God. So keep your focus on God, and what Him focus everything else you have been concerned with...

Progress is a Process

Who are you comparing your progress with? Hopefully nobody but yourself. God has different plans, and different routes that are specifically tailored for each individual.

So why do we get caught up examining our situation from the same lens we examine others? If God wanted to give you what your neighbor has you would have had it, but God is much more creative that that. He knows your hearts desire, and what He has for you is for you! Remember it's all in God's timing...

Call to Prayer

Where is your prayer life like?

Are you submitting quality prayers or simply following a daily routine?

Well, only you and God know the answers to both of those questions, but I submit to you this;

The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. -James 5:16

Speak to God as if you would speak to your closest friend. Lay it all out there, God draws near to those who draw near to Him.

Find a place where you can have some quiet time to spend with God. Go for a walk, find a secret place where you can just zone in His presence. The more you pray, the more power you have - the less you pray, the less power you have. I dare you just upgrade your prayers today!
