The Miracles
Psalm 5:7-8 “And here I am, your invited guest—it’s incredible! I enter your house; here I am, prostrate in your inner sanctum, waiting for directions to get me safely through enemy lines.” (MSG, emphasis added)
When you stand and you say to God, “Here I am. I am available”. The third thing that happens is that You See The Miracles, You Never Thought You Would See. Moses is a classic example. Exodus 3:4 “When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” (NIV, emphasis added). Moses’ response, in other words, was “Here I am. I am available. Your boy is here.” And Moses, though available, had a lot of questions. It is okay to have questions. You can say to God, “Here I am, but I have questions. I do not understand this.” Read the rest of this entry
The Equation
Luke 1:37 “For every promise from God shall surely come true. Nothing is impossible with respect to any of God’s promises.” (LB & ISV)
When you stand and say to God, “Here I Am”, not only will You Face The Fear You Never Thought You Could Face. But secondly, You Trust The Promise You Never Thought You Would Trust.
Nothing!
Psalm 116:16 “Oh, God, here I am, your servant, your faithful servant: set me free for your service!” (MSG)
What happens when you stand and say, “God, Here I Am. I am available.” Firstly, You Face The Fear You Never Thought You Could Face. Secondly, You Trust The Promise
Face It
Psalm 66:10-12 “He trained us first, passed us like silver through refining fires, Brought us into hardscrabble country, pushed us to our very limit, Road-tested us inside and out, took us to hell and back; Finally he brought us to this well-watered place.” (MSG)
When you say, ‘God, I am here’, the first thing that happens is You Face the Fear You Never Thought You Could Face. You say, ‘God, I am available’, and then it seems
Here I Am
Isaiah 41:10 “Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.’” (TPT)
God wants us to be available and willing. Sometimes when God calls, we are available and willing, but we are afraid because we do not know what to expect.
Available?
Isaiah 6:8 “Then I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, ‘Whom can I send? Who will go for us?’ So I said, ‘Here I am. Send me!’” (NCV)
Over the next few days, we are going to be going through a contemplation that is big on my heart. And I am trusting God that He, Himself will open your eyes to see
Endorsed!
Ecclesiastes 8:15 “So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life…”
Years ago, I was preaching about Jesus, and I was laughing because I was really joyful. At the end of teaching, an older man walked up to me looking very pious and straight.
Enjoy It!
Ecclesiastes 8:15 “And so I heartily recommended that you pursue joy, for the best a person can do under the sun is to enjoy life. Eat, drink, and be happy. If this is your attitude, joy will carry you through the toil every day that God gives you under the sun.” (The Voice)
So far, we have seen that it is the fun factor in family, faith, friendships, fitness, and finance that keeps it going. Today we will be looking at our farm. The farm should be fun.
Fitness & Finance
Hebrews 12:11 “No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.”
1 Corinthians 9:27 “I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should…”. When you start working out, it may not be fun. But if you keep at it,
Faith, Friendships, & Fitness
Psalm 119:34-35 “Give me an understanding heart so that I can passionately know and obey your truth. Guide me into the paths that please you, for I take delight in all that you say.” (TPT).
We will kick off today’s devotional with a question and the question is, if you do not have to study the Word of God, will you? If you do not have to
