When we choose to follow Jesus, little do we realize that we are embarking on an adventure. We will be stepping outside of our comfort zone and we are never the same again.
Allow us, Lord, to demonstrate our faith by what we do, so that the gospel can be seen by those who seek for You.
Let the brilliance of the treasure of Christ shine through you as you live for Him.
Paul reminds us that “all members do not have the same function”. We’ve been gifted according to God’s grace. He gave us those gifts to serve others, not ourselves. Our service is to be marked by diligence and fervor, for we are serving the Lord, not man. So, let’s not look over our shoulders to see what others are doing or not doing. Look at how God may be able to use you in His kingdom today. He has gifted you just as He has pleased.
There are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. —1 Corinthians 12:6
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. (NLT) -Deuteronomy 6:5
If we commit ourselves to Christ and follow in His way, He’ll give us life that satisfies with purpose for each day.
May our devotion to God, because of His love for us, be revealed in our actions today.
After the life is past, we will stand before our Lord. The challenge before us as followers of Christ is to serve Him with excellence now so that we can hear His words, "Well done".
Spiritual words are mere distractions if not backed up by our godly actions. And all our good and beautiful creeds are nothing without God-honoring deeds.
Sometimes when the infinite God conveys His thoughts to finite man, mystery is the result. We begin to unwrap the mystery, though, when we consider that what is precious to the Lord is not confined to earthly blessings.
Everyone is endowed with spiritual sight when they trust Christ as their Savior. Yet, at times a “fog” rolls in and our spiritual vision becomes cloudy and unclear. That happens when we neglect our relationship with Him.
Thinking it over. What keeps you from calling out to God for spiritual rescue? Do you fear that you are too bad for God’s grace? Read and think about Romans 3:23-26.
Each believer has been given new eyes to discern spiritual truth. As we keep our hearts tuned to God, He will help us to see with our spiritual eyes all that He has given to us in Christ.
David seems to be the least likely candidate for kingship yet he is the one chosen by God for the task. We will never be able to understand how God's mind works but we do need to learn to trust His judgment as it will become an issue in our own lives from time to time.
I firmly believe that we should be seeing the same sorts of miracles that Jesus and His apostles performed 2,000 years ago today.
