Greetings,
All true wisdom begins with acknowledging that we serve an awesome God and long in reverence of Him. This is what the scripture says:
Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) - "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
When you begin to understand the greatness and holiness of God (which is the true meaning of “the fear of the Lord”), you realize that because God is so holy and we are so unlike Him, we could have been lost forever!
But then Christ came to earth and gave His life for us. That, is more than the mind can grasp! How could He love US SO MUCH?
When we begin to comprehend this powerful truth, our view of life begins to change. We want our lives to glorify the One who died for us. We want our words and deeds to reflect His love and holiness. That’s why we must never stray away from the cross. It’s the cross that gives us the right perspective.
Jesus, thank You for the cross where You gave Your blood for me. Oh Lord, keep me near the cross!
Today, I’m worshiping with The Mississippi Mass Choir and “Near the Cross.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
God cannot lie. Since His very nature is truth, it is impossible for Him to tell a lie. He is not only faithful, He cannot change. That means we can always trust and depend upon Him to keep His Word.
Titus 1:2 (NKJV) – “…in hope of eternal life which God, WHO CANNOT LIE, promised before time began.”
You can always depend upon Him. Our God is committed to keeping every promise that He has ever made. At times, His promises may be delayed; but never denied. If He said it, we should expect to receive it. Hold on and keep believing, because they are still coming!
Thank You, Lord, for being so faithful. I can stand upon every Word You have ever spoken. You will always be my promise-keeping God!
Today, I’m worshiping with Fellowship Worship and “Is He Worthy.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
Today, let’s examine ourselves. Do you know what the Scriptures mean by that? It means let’s work on our hearts, our attitudes, and our thoughts.
Things can begin to creep into our hearts. Wrong desires, negative thoughts and bad attitudes can prevail if they aren’t challenged. By being in the Presence of our Mighty God, and by being devoted to His Word, the Holy Spirit will call these things out in us.
2 Peter 3:14 (NKJV) – “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;”
In our time of personal devotion, let’s work on correcting our attitudes and desires that are not Christ-like.
Father, help me to always keep You in my heart and mind. I want to be more like You.
Today, I’m worshiping with Shirley Caesar and the old song, “I’ve Got a Long Way to Go.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
Sin demands justice be served and that we pay for our failures and mistakes. Yet, we read that God does not demand of us an eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth. All He asks is that we repent and pray to Him for forgiveness.
Psalm 103:10 (NKJV) – “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.”
God is so merciful to those who seek His forgiveness. He doesn’t punish us according to our iniquities. Rather, our sins were laid on the back of the sacrificial Lamb of God and He became sin for us. By taking our penalty upon Himself, He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. Oh, happy day, when Jesus washed our sins away!
Lord, I thank You for Your forgiveness. Even though I don’t deserve it, You still cleanse and forgive me of all my sins. I will always love You, my Lord and Savior!
Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and the FBCG Choir and “Oh Happy Day.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
