Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Don’t you miss attending the weekly services when you can’t be at church? Something really wonderful and transformative happens when we gather to worship God corporately. Notice what King David said about being in the House of God:

Psalm 84:1-2 (NKJV) – “How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! [2] My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”

He desired to be in God’s House. A great devotional life consists of two things: (1) developing a personal relationship with God by spending time with Him each day in prayer and in His Word, and (2) spending time in corporate worship with other believers.

Remember a couple of years ago when, for over two years it was very difficult for Christians to assemble together? Hopefully that caused us all to realize how important it is that we worship regularly with other believers. We are probably much more enthusiastic and excited about worshiping together with our brothers and sisters in Christ now than we were before the pandemic. With all we have been through, the value of corporate worship and how important it is to assemble with fellow believers, is more clear to us now than ever.

Father, thank You for being with me, each and every day! Like David, I love being able to come into Your House. I love to join with other believers as we worship You. You deserve my worship and praise!

Today, I’m worshiping with Tasha Cobbs Leonard and “One Place.”

Greetings,

What does it mean to abide in Christ? That’s an incredibly  important question!

One of the enormous benefits of abiding in Him, is the impact that it will have on our prayer lives. God promises to grant the requests of those who abide in Jesus.

John 15:7 (NKJV) – “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”

That doesn’t mean that just because we are Christians, that He has given us a blank check to ask for everything that our selfish hearts might desire. To abide in Christ means that our wants and desires should become like His. It also means being devoted to putting the things that God wants first. When we do so, our prayers will surely be answered.

Dear Jesus, instill a desire in my heart for the things that matter most to You. Let me hunger for what You hunger for. I pray that Your desires will be accomplished in this world, through me. Let me seek what You seek, love what You love, and hate what You hate. In Jesus Name. Amen!

Today, I’m worshiping with Jeremy Riddle and “Purify My Fire.”

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

Greetings,

It might sound like a strange commandment, but God has instructed us to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. That might seem odd because after all, how do you force yourself to love someone? Yet it reveals an important truth: love is a decision, not just an emotion. We can actually “set” our hearts to love God.

After Christ came, He took what is called the greatest commandment a step further, by commanding us to also ‘love one another.’

John 13:34 (NKJV) – “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

As true believers, we shouldn’t ever be indifferent or apathetic toward others. That’s true regardless of who they are, what they believe, their financial status, their education, or politics. Christians must grow beyond the petty differences that divide us and love others as Jesus loves us. And remember this: He loved us while we were still sinners!

Heavenly Father, teach me to love others the way that You love me. Would You create in my heart the same kind of love that You have for all mankind? Help me learn to love the way You love!

Today, I’m worshiping with Bebe Winans and “I Fell in Love with God.”

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

Greetings,

What do you believe to be the most important things in life? Are you seeking fame, finances, long life, or relationships? Jesus said that if we would seek first the Kingdom of God, all the other things that we need and pursue, that He would supply them for us. To truly seek His Kingdom, we must first seek Jesus Christ, the King of the Kingdom!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) – “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

Lord Jesus, I want You to be my greatest treasure and the joy of my life. I desire to pursue You with my whole heart. Create in me a desire for even more of You. Lord, help me make You the central focus of my life.

Today, I’m worshiping with Israel Houghton and “More and More.”

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