Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Sometimes we actually think that God’s will for our lives won’t be as good as the things we have planned and hope for. Could we possibly want better things than those our Heavenly Father desires for us?

We read in Romans 8:28 (NKJV) – “And we know that ALL things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Did you catch that? ALL things—and that literally means ALL! The Greek Word for ‘all’ is pas. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance tells us that it means: “each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything”—with no exceptions. That pretty much covers everything, regardless of what we may be facing.

Be at peace, beloved. Though we do not always understand how good can come from some of the things we are going through, it’s only because we don’t see as far as God does. We can trust Him to make all things work for our good!

Father, thank You for loving me so much, for caring for me and wanting the best for my life. Not only that, but thank You for turning things around that could have harmed me, and protecting me from decisions I made that were unwise. You’ve turned so many problems into blessings, that I can’t help but love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with the Binions and “All Things.”

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

Greetings,

It seems that misery really does love company! Why do I say that? Because bad news gets everyone’s attention. It sells. The networks would be in trouble if it didn’t. Suppose they had to stop publishing all the bad news for seven days? We would probably be a lot better off!

There is actually a book that is filled with news that is incredibly good. That’s its central message. It’s called the Bible. Strange, how people have the Word of God pictured the opposite way! It isn’t meant to cramp your style. Rather it is intended to give you life.

A man asked Jesus what he could do to have eternal life. Jesus answered in Matthew 19:16b (NKJV) “….if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Heavenly Father, Your commandments give me life because Your Word is all about LIFE! May we learn to trust in Your direction, for You are a GOOD GOD! I am blessed because I know that Your Word actually sets me free. It contains the principles for how I may live a life without shame or regret. That’s while I am in this world, but then it also instructs me how I can become Yours forever and be with You in the world to come. Thank You for the really GOOD NEWS!

Today, I’m worshiping with Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes and “The Blessing.”

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

Greetings,

HE IS RISEN! Sin could not restrain Him, the  grave could not contain Him and death could not hold Him. Christ is alive! Oh bless His Name!

Luke 24:4-6 (NKJV) And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. [5] Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? [6] He is not here, but is risen!

Have you ever considered what would have happened had Jesus not walked out of the tomb? Sin would have reigned triumphant, death would have been victorious and mankind’s hope of ever having our relationship restored with God would have been destroyed. The long midnight of the soul would have gone on forever while humanity suffered in misery, lost eternally and without God. 

But thanks be to God, the tomb is empty. Christ is alive. Satan has been defeated! The way back to God is restored and our debt is paid in full.

Jesus, thank You! Thank You for all You suffered and endured. You didn’t have to do it but You did. I lift my heart to You. How could I not give You my forever YES? I worship You as my Risen King.

Today I’m worshiping with Be Still Studios and “Christ Is Risen!”

We love you and are praying for you! BE INSPIRED!

Greetings,

God’s Word speaks to each of us individually. I love the way He makes certain passages come alive, depending upon what we are facing at that moment. His Word is always relevant. That’s because He knows everything there is to know about us and exactly where we are in our particular journey.  Notice this verse in the Book of Psalms:

Psalm 139:16 (NKJV): “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.”

God knows your name. He knows everything that your future holds. We might not see it but He has incredible plans for our lives. Our Heavenly Father will speak to each of us from His Word if we ask Him to. When we open the Bible in prayer, He will guide and direct our steps.

Father, thank You for causing Your Word to illuminate my path. Please speak to me from Your Word today. Direct my steps and lead me in the path of Your divine will. Guide me with the plans that You have for my life.

Today, I’m worshiping with Riddle and Gretzinger and “You Have Won Me.”

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