Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives…

Prayer In Church
I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing (1 Timothy 2:8). What does Paul want to take place in the church? Prayer. Let’s read again 1 Timothy 2:1-8. Are there any new insights that you see about Christ and God? In your version of the bible, are there the words, “God our savior?” Did you notice that? This is not a title we often think about for God. It is used six times in the Old Testament and seven times in the New Testament. It is used in 1 Timothy 1:1; 2:3; and 4:10. Let’s move along. Today read 1 Timothy 2:8-15. …

Letting Go Of Others
a time to search and a time to count as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; Ecclesiastes 3:6 Do you control others that are in your life? We need to let go of their lives and let God work in their lives. Who in your life right now that you love making unhealthy choices? Are you willing to let this person discover his or her need for God? If you can’t answer this question, that is ok. It is hard living in the balance of helping others and realizing that our helping others is actually hurting them. Let’s go…

Satan’s Half Truths
There’s a right time to hold on and another to let go. Ecclesiastes 3:6 Satan uses Scripture to tempt Jesus by using half-truths to make God jump in and save him. However, we know this doesn’t work! Let’s read Matthew 4:5-7 and Luke 4:9-10. In what city does Satan tempt Jesus? How did Jesus get there? What did Satan tempt Jesus to do? It would probably be easy for Jesus to put Satan in his place. Jesus chose to go through the temptation, the pain, to choose to identify with our pain. He chose this to show us how to walk and live in victory…

What Is Tempting You
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3 Have you ever compared how Jesus and the Israelites each handled their wilderness experience? They both experience God in those moments. However, the Israelites complained and wanted to go back to their former lives, while Jesus was humble to the Holy Spirit’s leading. We all face temptation. Temptation comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes. The one thing we must remember is temptation does not come from God. Do not believe the…

This Is My Commandment:Love Each Other
This is my command: Love each other. John 15:16-17 Have you ever realized that almost all lessons from God come full circle, back to love? I have. The bottom line to our life, the one commandment that God wants us to follow and do, is to love one another. How well are we really following this command in today’s society? Here comes the risk of grace. God went out on a limb to make us apart of His branch with the hope that we will bear fruit. When we should love others, we are showing the world that we are God’s disciples. There is…
