Better Things Waiting

Good morning! “Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!” Hebrews 10:32-35 NLT

Do you remember the day you accepted Christ into your life? Do you remember how full your heart was on that day?

Continue to put your trust in the Lord, especially when things don’t make sense or are painful. Allow the Lord to comfort you and bring you peace. Stand firm, remembering the day you accepted Christ into your life and the reason you decided to follow Christ.

Dear Lord, we love you and thank you for giving us an opportunity to accept you into our hearts and minds. We are grateful that you are willing to guide our path and direct our steps. Lord, we ask that you reignite our passion for you and light a fire in our steps to walk with you in obedience to your word. May we be bold and courageous in every area of our lives. Keep us near you Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

To Do Your Will

Good morning! “For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin. Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God— as is written about me in the Scriptures (Psalms 40:6-8).’” Hebrews 10:4-7NLT

What’s holding you back from following God’s will for your life?

What will you do today or this weekend to follow God’s will for your life?

Lord thank you for doing the will of the Father. Thank you for standing in the gap for us. Lord, give us a steadfast heart and mind to do your will. Equip us for the battle ahead and the trials we must overcome. Shield and protect us from the plots of our enemies. Help us to stand strong on your word. Direct our path and be with us as your word promises, so that in the midst of storms we will continue to stand in alignment with your will. In Jesus name, Amen.

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

A Far Better Covenant

Good morning! “And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law. They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.” But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.” Hebrews 8:3-6 NLT

The Lord is faithful. He interceded in a way that no human could or ever will. The new covenant and promises give us a new hope and forgiveness for our sins. May we look to God who is perfect in all his ways and be obedient to his leading.

Lord, thank you for interceding on our behalf. Your ways are better than ours. Your love is endless. You are faithful to those who seek you. Lord, may your words flow from the pages of the Bible to our hearts. Continue to transform us to be all that you have created us to be. Lord, there are so many hurting, confused, and lost – restore their faith and love toward you. Help us to trust you when we don’t understand all the details of your plans. Guard our hearts and minds so that we remain focused on you and your promises. Cover us with your protection and give us favor today. In Jesus name, Amen!

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

No Limits

Good morning! “Consider then how great this Melchizedek was. Even Abraham, the great patriarch of Israel, recognized this by giving him a tenth of what he had taken in battle. Now the law of Moses required that the priests, who are descendants of Levi, must collect a tithe from the rest of the people of Israel, who are also descendants of Abraham. But Melchizedek, who was not a descendant of Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham. And Melchizedek placed a blessing upon Abraham, the one who had already received the promises of God. And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed.” Hebrews 7:4-7 NLT.

Again, Melchizedek was a servant of God. He was not appointed by the typical Levitical priestly family line, but he was anointed by God. Abraham recognized Melchizedek was anointed by God and honored his position as priest.

God has gifted many to spread His word. It’s not limited to the pastor/priest it is available to those who have surrendered their lives to God and who have had their lives transformed by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

If you truly believed and accepted Christ as your Savior, then the Holy Spirit is upon you. Ask the Lord to bring it out of dormancy and to give you the power and strength to do what God has purposed you to do and designed you to be. Don’t let anyone limit what God has for you.

Father God, we thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. Lord we ask that you ignite a passion in our hearts and souls to live a life of purpose. A life that intentionally seeks you in all the things we do. Lord we ask for your anointing to fall on us. Cover us from our head to our toes filling us with your Holy Spirit. Ignite our passion and love for you and your people. Help us not to walk in fear and help us to trust you in the calling/purpose you have given us. May our obedience glorify you. In Jesus name, Amen!

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

Always The Same

Good morning! “He also says to the Son, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.” Hebrews 1:10-12NLT.

The Lord is always the same. He was there in the beginning and will continue to be forever. It’s encouraging to know, the One who loved us from the beginning is also preparing a place for those (us) who believe and received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The Lord loves us and his words are absolutely true. Trust him.

Lord God thank you for today. Lord thank you for always being reliable. Lord thank you for holding us up this week. Lord we ask that you continue to strengthen us. Be with us all and protect us from harm. Help those without a church home find a Bible teaching,  compassionate, disciple building church to visit and become actively involved. Continue to transform us to be more like you. In Jesus name, Amen!

Keep believing! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

Keep praying! Have a wonderful weekend. Keep praying!

Good morning! “But to the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice. You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.” Hebrews 1:8-9NLT

What we know for certain is that when it is all said and done, the Son/God will continue to reign. Let us continue to put our hope and trust in the Lord who created all things and who will be here when all things pass.

Father God, thank you for your Son who came to this earth in the form of a man to die on the cross for our sins so that we can be reconciled to God. Lord we know our time here on earth is temporary so Lord give us power to live and speak boldly for you. Direct our hearts and minds to live a life that pleases you. Strengthen our faith, declutter our minds and help us to focus on you. Equip us, comfort us and give us peace. Lord be with us today, cover us and our family. Go before us on the way to work, school, the doctor, etc., and pave the way giving us favor with our bosses/clients/coworkers ,  teachers/paperwork/processes, medical reports/procedures. Lord we trust you, thank you and ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Keep praying! Keep trusting! Keep seeking!

Supreme Son

Happy Wednesday!

“For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” God also said, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.” And when he brought his supreme Son into the world, God said, “Let all of God’s angels worship him.” Regarding the angels, he says, “He sends his angels like the winds, his servants like flames of fire.” Hebrews 1:5-7 NLT.

Thank you Lord for bringing your supreme Son into this world to save us. Your love for us is beyond our full understanding. Yet, Lord you show us through your word and action(s) your love and mercy toward us. Lord you have sent your angels to accomplish incredible task in the Old and New Testament. Lord continue to direct the angels and give them power to serve you. Lord shield us with your mighty hand from the plots of the enemies. Continue to equip us for the task ahead. In Jesus name, amen.

Keep praying! Keep trusting! Keep seeking!

No One Greater

Happy Tuesday! “The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.” Hebrews 1:3-4 NLT

There is no one greater. His power exceeds all things. Even his name is greater than heavenly angels. What are you struggling with today? Ask our Lord for help.

Father help us to trust you in every area of our lives. Give us wisdom, patience and peace as we look to you and your power to work out our situations. Lord, continue to keep us. In Jesus name,  Amen.

Keep praying! Keep believing! Keep trusting!

Happy Monday! Join me as I go through the New Testament book of Hebrews.

“Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.” Hebrews 1:1-2 NLT

I pray that God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) will speak to you today. That you will be reminded of his love for you. May you trust the creator of the universe with everything in your life. He is creator and greater than anything you are going through or anyone you are dealing with.

Father, thank you for today. Thank you for another opportunity to read your word. Lord God, creator of all things, strengthen our faith,  direct our steps as we seek to follow you with our whole heart. Lord, as we go through the book of Hebrews, reveal to us your word in powerful ways. Help us to understand more and transform us to become more like you each day. Be with our families and continue to cover us Lord. Go before us today and help us in good or difficult situations. We trust you Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

Keep praying! Keep trusting! Stay attuned to the Lord and his direction for your life.

Happy Friday! “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NLT.

May the Lord’s peace surround you and your family today and throughout the weekend. May the Lord remove your worries as you press forward – trusting him.

Dear Lord, thank you for all you have done and for all the things you have promised. Lord your unfailing love is amazing and we thank you for loving us. However, Lord we need you and desire to feel your presence today. Lord strengthen us and guide us as we make every attempt to display Christ-like love and character.  Lord guard our hearts, help us to be slow in anger, slow down our tongues and help us to be mindful of our actions. Direct our steps and help us to seek your will for our lives. Lord give us discernment and help us to stand firm against the enemies schemes. Touch and heal the sick, hurting and lost. Bless those who are struggling financially or with an addiction. Keep us in your perfect peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Have a wonderful day and good weekend.

Keep praying! Keep believing! Keep seeking! Keep trusting!
