Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

We all know the feeling of being abandoned by so-called friends in a time of adversity. They seem to avoid us when we need them the most, but are always present when things are going well.

Oh, how thankful we are for our greatest Friend, the One who will never leave us during those difficult seasons of life. He stays close, even when we’re being violently attacked by the enemy. God still knows you in times of trouble.

Psalm 31:7 (NKJV) – “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities.”

The psalmist rejoiced because God knew him even in adverse situations. The challenges he was referring to were were when people lied, cheated, and tried to destroy him, for no reason.

Thank You, Lord, for staying with me, not only in the good times, but when things aren’t going so well. I praise You for being so faithful!

Today, I’m worshiping with Bebe and Marvin Winans and “Stand.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Isn’t it interesting how we stand in awe of those who have gained impressive titles, fame, and fortune? We are amazed by their illusionary accomplishments, often not realizing they will soon fade away. The Apostle Paul chose not to make that mistake.  

2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV) – “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.”

Most of the time those who seek to impress others actually add very little value to our world. Yet, a dedicated doctor, nurse, teacher, fireman or police officer can do more good than a dozen ‘so-called’ celebrities who seek fame and fortune. A movie actor or actress may receive a higher salary for a single movie than an ‘essential worker’ is paid in a lifetime. Sadly, people idolize the actors and ignore those who are much more deserving.  

Why should we talk about this? Honoring those who are worthy makes our society operate smoothly. But the One who should receive the highest honor and praise is our Lord. Think of what He does for us, each and every day of our lives!

Thank You, Lord, for being so good to me. I praise You! I give You all the honor and the glory! You are Alpha and Omega.

Today. I’m worshiping with Steffany Gretzinger  and “All Is for Your Glory.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God. While our desires, needs, and persistence may gain His attention, faith is what prompts Him to act!  

Galatians 3:5 (NKJV) – “Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”

In the days when the Prophet Elisha ministered, there were many widows and lepers in the land. But, as Jesus explained to His disciples, only one widow was sustained, and only Naaman, the Syrian was healed of leprosy. Did God care about the others? Of course, He did! But He loves to respond to those who through faith, place a demand on His ability for the release of His power.

Lord, let faith arise in my heart! Give me total confidence in the fact that Your promises CAN NOT fail. I love You, my Lord!

Today, I’m worshiping with Kristian Standfill and “There’s Nothing That Our God Can’t Do.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Sometimes, the best action we can take is to do nothing, and simply wait upon God. After all, unless the Lord protects what we value most, our plans and dreams are in vain.

Isaiah 25:9 (NKJV) – “And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

Those who put their trust in God will never be disappointed. Even though He doesn’t always answer our prayers in the exact manner we had anticipated, He ALWAYS does what is best for us!

Waiting for Him demonstrates our understanding that He ALONE is God. It is a form of worship. The One we serve will never leave or forsake those who put their trust in Him.

Thank You, Lord, for the many times, over and over again, that You have proven to me that You are MY God. I love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Benita Jones and Chandler Moore and “Most Beautiful.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
