Manna from God

“That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
1 Corinthians 2:5

As believers living our lives founded on the hope given to us by GOD, faith is our lifeblood. Without faith we have nothing. Without faith, all sense of purpose, value, and joy in present trials and circumstances scatters as dust in the wind.

With faith the abundant life GOD desires for us is removed from a shroud of doubt, fear, and hopelessness and becomes our reality.

Your GOD will always be faithful to you. You can trust HIM with any problem you are going through. HE longs to work in your favor.

KNOWING THIS, I PRAY THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!!!

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:37-39

JESUS has triumphed over everything that stood between us and a life lived in relationship with GOD.

Even though JESUS has defeated the enemy, we still must live out that victory every day and help others around us do the same.

We must call out the greatness in each other. If you see a brother or sister struggling with temptation, fight for them through prayer. Speak life into them.

Encourage them in who GOD has made them to be.

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:7

GOD has abundant life and relationship for all if they will simply come to know HIM. And HE’S chosen to use HIS children to share that message of hope.

Your life has been transformed from being lost and lifeless to being filled with the powerful hope of the gospel. No one is beyond the saving grace of JESUS.

Share that hope with those around you today who are in desperate need of restored relationship with GOD!!!
Have a blessed week!

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

We have done nothing to deserve the forgiveness GOD so freely lavishes upon us.

But, GOD offers us forgiveness because HE IS LOVE; it is HIS very nature.

And as JESUS demonstrated through HIS death, LOVE forgives. JESUS modeled forgiveness perfectly in laying down HIS own life for you and me.

Spend some time in GOD’S presence this weekend and forgive as HE guides and directs you and mold you.

Have a great weekend!

“Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.”
Luke 8:40-42

JESUS made time for those in need. HE wasn’t too busy to leave what HE was doing, which happened to be ministering to a large group of people, to make time for a single girl. JESUS displayed the heart of the Father in going after the one.

GOD IS the same way with you and me today. Through the death of JESUS we have been given an opportunity to have conversation with GOD all day, every day. GOD’S desire is to make time for us. HE counts our needs as important.

Spend some time with GOD in prayer today, and ask HIM to help you know when and how to make time for those around you in need.

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for HE who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
Hebrews 10:23-25

When was the last time someone really encouraged you?

Encouragement is powerful! It has the ability to change emotions and trajectories. It has the power to fill someone with courage and boldness to say yes to the plans and heart of GOD!

JESUS knew the power of encouragement. HE loved to use the tool of encouragement to direct HIS disciples into the life GOD intended for them.

Let me encourage you today to let GOD order your steps!
