God’s Light 💡

Today’s Inspiration 😇

God is a sun to us, he enlightens us. He shines on our darkness. He illuminates areas where we should seek Him. 

God is a shield, He protects us and perfects us. 

The Lord gives us grace. He gives us favor. He bestows Honor. 

There is no good thing God will withhold from us when we walk with Him. 

Psalms 84:11 (KJV)

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

In life you may have questions about why something is happening or not happening.

God’s word is true. 

God will shine light on your weakness.....face it. 

God will give you grace and glory.......accept it!

God will give you good according to what He defines as good....trust Him!

Focus on the whole!

Today’s Inspiration 😇

Our lives are big circles ⭕️ filled with many components and many slices. 

Slices include family, career, health, wealth, sanity, partner, children, or whatever else we have in our lives. 

We all have many slices. When we face trials we sometimes focus on one battered slice and not the whole pie. 

When we are in need it’s usually one or two slices of our lives that are severely impacted. 

We forget to feast on the whole pie while we give the battered slices to the Lord. We wallow in our 20% of lack instead of giving God glory for our 80% of abundance. 

When we change our perspective we can look at our 80 and give God glory! 

We know we serve the Almighty God who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could think or ask.

God is so good! Even our broken slices have Glory. 

For instance if the slice of life that is broken and battered is your health, you still have health. There is glory as long as you have life. 

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NLT)

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Ask God to change your perspective. Ask Jesus to help you see the whole and not just the slices. 

Storms pass and troubles don’t last. If you are in a continual storm maybe it’s time to change your perspective. Don’t be a storm chaser. Serve the Storm Eraser!

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Stay Focused

Today’s Inspiration 😇

Don’t get sidetracked!

Life can take us through many changes. Regardless of the change stay focused on your purpose. 

Proverbs 4:25-27 (NLT)

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.

Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

Forget the past stay focused on the task. 

Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT)

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Don’t get sidetracked stay focused on Jesus!

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💕 you!

Whole Heart❤️

Today’s Inspiration 😇💞

What are you searching for today?

God promises us that when we search for Him with all our heart we will find Him. When we pray He will listen. 

Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NKJV)

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

We have to search for God with our whole hearts. Not with our impatient hearts. Not with our doubtful hearts but with our whole hearts focused on Him. 

God is greater than any circumstance and any situation. Even when it seems enormous. God is greater. 

When we focus on our problem we begin to worship our problem and not our God. Jesus wants our worship. God is a jealous God. 

Tell your problem about your God. 

You cannot serve two masters. Chose who you will serve. Your problem or your God?

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💕 you!

Discipline =Disciple

Today’s Inspiration 😇

Discipline=Disciple

It is impossible to become a disciple without discipline. 

There is what we think is right and then there is what God declares is correct. 

Hebrews 12:11 (NLT)

No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

When we make a choice to live for God we must submit to the will of God. 

Discipline will come with submission. We cannot submit to God and still have our way. We have to position ourselves for growth. 

That will allow us to live a life that reflects the glory of the Lord.

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Do you hear?

Today’s Inspiration 😇

Do you know God’s voice? 

In childcare, parents pick their toddlers up at the end of the day. When the toddlers hear their parent, they immediately drop everything and run full force to find them. They often begin to cry when they think they cannot reach their parent quickly or if they believe their parent might leave again without them. 

Do we drop everything in haste when we hear our Father calling? Do we dread the thought of God leaving without us?

John 10:3-5 (NKJV)

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

The above passage suggests there were some sheep that did not belong to the Father. 

Just like in childcare there are children that belong to different parents. 

But the parent only calls their child. 

Notice Jesus didn’t drag them out. He didn’t beat them out. He called and they came. 

God only called His own by name. 

We have to follow Jesus as if our life depends on it. We cannot afford to take our eyes off Christ or we will become lost. 

Do you belong to God? 

Will you know His voice when He calls?

You have a specific destination. 

You have a God ordained purpose. 

Don’t become distracted. 

Fight to keep your position. 

Fight to follow the Father. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💕you!

What are you fighting with?

Today’s Inspiration 😇

There is a weapon we must have with us in all circumstances. Not some but all. What are you fighting with today? What do you have in your arsenal?

Ephesians 6:16 (ESV)

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. 

If you have the word but lack faith you will be defeated. 

If you have prayer but lack faith you will be overwhelmed. 

1 John 5:4 (ESV)

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

You cannot win without faith. 

You have to relentlessly encourage yourself and strengthen your faith daily. When you feel the voice of unbelief whisper in your ear you must immediately repent and ask the Lord to help your unbelief. 

Fight those voices with the word of God. Our first battlefield is in our mind. Do not allow your mind to wander. Stay focused on the only one who can. 

Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Have faith in God in ALL circumstances!

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!
