Placed In The Pit

Sometimes​ ​being​ ​in​ ​that​ ​secret​ ​place​ ​out​ ​of​ ​others’​ ​view​ ​is​ ​the​ ​only​ ​thing​ ​keeping​ ​you​ ​safe. Just​ ​because​ ​God​ ​has​ ​called​ ​you​ ​to​ ​do​ ​something,​ ​doesn’t​ ​mean​ ​you​ ​may​ ​not​ ​have​ ​to​ ​complete it​ ​in​ ​the​ ​pit​ ​-​ ​a​ ​place​ ​where​ ​you​ ​feel​ ​you’re​ ​working​ ​overtime,​ ​yet​ ​still​ ​no​ ​one​ ​else​ ​notices​ ​your accomplishments.​ ​Be​ ​careful​ ​not​ ​to​ ​resent​ ​those​ ​times​ ​when​ ​you​ ​feel​ ​misplaced​ ​in​ ​your​ ​ministry, for​ ​God​ ​is​ ​never​ ​unintentional.


The Extra Mile

Doing​ ​more​ ​than​ ​what​ ​is​ ​asked​ ​of​ ​us​ ​is​ ​-​ ​let’s​ ​be​ ​real​ ​-​ ​an​ ​inconvenience.​ ​We​ ​all​ ​have​ ​busy schedules​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​other​ ​things​ ​we​ ​could​ ​be​ ​doing.​ ​It’s​ ​much​ ​easier​ ​to​ ​just​ ​get​ ​by​ ​with​ ​the​ ​bare minimum.​ ​But​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​truly​ ​convey​ ​God-like​ ​love​ ​to​ ​someone,​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​be​ ​willing​ ​to​ ​make a​ ​sacrifice​ ​of​ ​your​ ​time​ ​and​ ​energy.​


Buried Treasure

It’s important to keep yourself in check and ask yourself: Where have you buried your treasure? Where is your value placed? Where is your heart rooted? Are you keeping your treasure in a safe and sure place? Or are you throwing it away on meaningless idols?

Sometimes,​ ​Jesus​ ​will​ ​instruct​ ​you​ ​to​ ​do​ ​things​ ​that​ ​seem​ ​a​ ​little​ ​out​ ​of​ ​your​ ​ordinary​ ​routine.​ ​Or maybe​ ​He’ll​ ​ask​ ​you​ ​to​ ​step​ ​out​ ​on​ ​faith​ ​for​ ​a​ ​situation​ ​that​ ​you’ve​ ​already​ ​deemed​ ​impossible. When​ ​that​ ​happens​ ​-​ ​dare​ ​to​ ​answer​ ​the​ ​call​ ​and​ ​go​ ​out​ ​into​ ​the​ ​deeper​ ​waters​ ​one​ ​more​ ​time. Don’t​ ​be​ ​afraid​ ​of​ ​failure.​ ​God​ ​is​ ​with​ ​you​ ​and​ ​will​ ​honor​ ​your​ ​obedience!​ ​

What​ ​you​ ​see​ ​is​ ​what​ ​you​ ​get.​ ​If​ ​we​ ​choose​ ​to​ ​look​ ​on​ ​the​ ​things​ ​that​ ​go​ ​against​ ​the Word,​ ​we​ ​are​ ​setting​ ​ourselves​ ​up​ ​to​ ​become​ ​apathetic​ ​bystanders​ ​and​ ​eventual​ ​participants​ ​of sin.


The Bigger Picture

Trusting​ ​God​ ​in​ ​the​ ​good​ ​times​ ​is​ ​commendable,​ ​but​ ​trusting​ ​Him​ ​in​ ​the​ ​difficult​ ​times​ ​tests​ ​your limits​ ​and​ ​exercises​ ​your​ ​faith.​ ​You​ ​have​ ​to​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​in​ ​many​ ​instances,​ ​hardships​ ​that you​ ​face​ ​in​ ​life​ ​are​ ​not​ ​a​ ​direct​ ​result​ ​of​ ​living​ ​in​ ​sin,​ ​but​ ​are​ ​simply​ ​approved​ ​or​ ​appointed​ ​by God​ ​as​ ​a​ ​part​ ​of​ ​His​ ​plan​ ​to​ ​better​ ​you​ ​and​ ​to​ ​impart​ ​in​ ​you​ ​lessons​ ​that​ ​living​ ​an​ ​easy​ ​life​ ​could never​ ​teach.​

Turning​ ​back​ ​to the​ ​past​ ​and​ ​surrendering​ ​to​ ​the​ ​enemy​ ​only​ ​ever​ ​brings​ ​heartache​ ​and​ ​death.​ ​But​ ​turning forward​ ​and​ ​surrendering​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Lord​ ​will​ ​bring​ ​forth​ ​life​ ​and​ ​salvation.


Comparison Kills

September 17, 2017 3:14 pm Published by Comments Off on Comparison Kills

Our view of self worth should not be based off of possessions, achievements, physical attractiveness, or public acclaim. Instead, it should be based off of the fact that we are made in the likeness of the flawless, almighty God. Because we bear God’s image, we should remember to check ourselves before projecting negativity onto who we are.


Preparation

What if we were to enter into a critical situation without proper preparation? We can’t win a battle if we don’t know how to properly defend ourselves. It’s no secret that trials and temptations are going to come our way because our world is lost and the enemy loves to try to take our joyful triumph any chance he can get. If we assume that we can face opposition without preparation, we are fooling ourselves. So when struggles do come, we need to be ready for them. Often times, the reason for defeat is solely because of a lack of preparation.


Service = Strength

Life is confusing. Promises don’t always come when we think they should. We will inevitably face heartache and become weary sometimes in our lives. But our heavenly Father is so, so good to us. His Word is always true. And he understands the struggles that we face and gives us limitless resilience. Our weakness can be mended by simply serving.
