Set the Example

When we are more than busy we have a tendency to move away from God. Our prayer time is shortened, our relationship becomes distant and our connection can become hazy. This is the time to recognize how vulnerable we might be to the negative and evil ways of the world

I have experienced firsthand those moments of concentrating on what I want to accomplish or what I want to do. I lose the focus…we must remember that we have a purpose and that purpose is to serve the Lord.

As we begin each day let’s keep the focus toward the light of God, follow His commands and walk the path He has forged for us. When cultivating that close personal relationship with our Lord our lives change.

We will never be the same as long as we keep our eyes on Him. Let’s set the example for our children, families and friends as we grow closer to His word, trust Him completely and love Him.

Deuteronomy 6: 5-7 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

What a joy we receive when praising His name.

So Many Pathways

I have some friends who have stepped out in faith, have become missionaries and will rely totally on God. This means they will receive their financial and prayer support from those who are willing to follow God’s heart and share their wealth.

Now by wealth I do not mean only people who are above and beyond financial stability but by the wealth we share in our faith. Knowing and trusting God with our health, careers, family and friends is being wealthy in Christ’s Kingdom.

It is a privilege to help those in need, support our missionaries in foreign countries and to serve God. There are so many pathways to our Lord’s heart. It is not by attending church every Sunday although that is very good, but it is to strive toward that God like attitude.

As Christians we are wealthy in His love, mercy and grace. We are given a new day to make amends for our sins and a new opportunity to live within His commands and rejoice in His forgiveness.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Faith is our belief in God and trusting Jesus.

With Gratitude We Wait

It has always been a wonder to me as how some get through the day with all their challenges without the love and guidance of God. I have watched many try to hang tight to themselves and then make sense of their dilemma, however they struggle so much more than need be.

If only they were hanging onto God and would allow our Lord to intervene for them. We are given so much through God’s love and mercy that it seems inconceivable that anyone would try doing it alone.

Our lives become a treasure as God reveals His plan for each of us. It isn’t always the easiest task waiting for our Lord to divulge or enlighten us as to His plan. Yet, if we are following God’s commands and walking in faith with total trust we eventually understand what is waiting for us.

What joys we receive when we are able to see a small stretch of the road that God has laid. It is through our diligence and constancy in prayer and faithfulness that allows us the tiniest vision of our future.

Psalm 27 4-5 One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may in dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

Let’s accept God, our Father into a personal relationship as we praise His name and rejoice.
