OUR GREATEST VALUE!

7-14-2022. . . .OUR GREATEST VALUE!

"I will bring the third that remain through the fire and make them pure, as gold and silver are refined and purified by fire. They will call upon my name and I will hear them; I will say, 'These are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God."  (Zech 13:9 TLB) 

Everyone does not make it through the fires of testing and refinement.  Those that have, those that will, and those that do, come out on the other side with a far greater kingdom value!  The world can only define us (and that often incorrectly), but God refines us to our greatest value!

PRAYER: Lord, refine us to our greatest value.  Although, the process at times may be painful, the end result is worth it!  Complete the process in us.  Amen!

Ps 139:23-24. . . .Search me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts. Point out anything you find in me that makes you sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. TLB

SEE THE IMPOSSIBLE!

7-13-2022. . . .SEE THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Jesus looked at them intently, then said, "Without God, it is utterly impossible.  But with God everything is possible." (Mark 10:27 TLB) 

 As a child of God, the possibilities for us are limitless.  We are  limited only by the extent to which we believe God!  Believe for the impossible and see the impossible!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being on our side and helping us to understand that with you there are no limits to the possibilities that exist for us!  Amen.

Eph 3:20-21. . . .Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of-infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. TLB

VALID OR INVALID!

7-12-2022. . . .VALID OR INVALID!    

" A wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults. This is to his credit. " (Prov 19:11 TLB)   

Just because someone says something about you does not make it so.  No matter how unflattering or insulting the statement or action is, our 'Re-Action' to it will validate or invalidate it.   It is wise to always keep our anger in check.  It will be a credit to us.  As a result, those issuing the insult will always have to reevaluate their position and statements!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for strategies to defeat the enemy!  Help us never to be taken by surprise or caught off guard and fail to employ them.  Amen!

Prov 19:11. . . .A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. (NIV) 

SOWING AND REAPING!

GIVE LIFE TO YOUR FAITH!

7-7-2022. . . .GIVE LIFE TO YOUR FAITH!

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."  (James 2:26 KJV) 

Step out from your comfort zone and give life to your faith!  Nothing ever failed but a try; however, only a try has the best opportunity to succeed!

PRAYER: Lord, honor our faith with success in every area we pursue that brings glory and advances your kingdom!  Amen.

 Isa 3:10. . . . Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.  NIV 

WAIT ON GOD!

7-6-2022. . . .WAIT ON GOD!

"And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land." (Ex 9:5 KJV)  

God sets His own times and keeps His own schedule!  If He declares a thing, surely He will bring it to pass!   Get in sync with God and wait on Him!  Remember, He scheduled our moments before there was any of them!  He's in control and He has everything under control!

Prayer: Lord, how awesome you are in all your marvelous splendor!  It blows my mind How you are always way ahead of the game.  Before I was formed you scheduled every day of my life!  Why then are we impatient?  Help us Lord, to wait on You!  Amen.

Ps 139:15-16. . . . You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion!  You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!  TLB

A CONTAGIOUS MOVEMENT!

7-5-2022. . . .A CONTAGIOUS MOVEMENT!

“And now this word to all of you: You should be like one big happy family, full of sympathy toward each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds.” (1 Peter 3:8 TLB)  

If the world is to be a better place, and what’s more, if we are to be a better people, we would do well to implement this advise. Starting in our own families, our churches, and then spreading it abroad throughout our neighborhoods, cities and all around the world! What a contagious movement that would be!

Prayer: Lord, help us start a contagious movement of love and compassion that transforms not only our person lives, but the entire world. Amen!

1 Peter 3:8. . . . Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. NIV
