Our Father in heaven, Your name is honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.] Let’s take some time and focus on prayer. Look up these verses and glean from them. Prayer! It’s a conversation with God. Do you struggle with praying? Is it intimidating to you to pray to God? Is there a right way to…

Reflection Day
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 about. 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 me more time to…

Persevering Impact
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 Do you ever have passion for people who are on a journey for the first time in Christ? Have you invested in them and found how hard it can be? However, through this, have you persevered and was faithful to God? I will be honest! Following God is not easy; being obedient to God and His ways is not easy. Now let me encourage you with this though, God is so so good! He is not leaving us when He is asking us to…

God Remembering
God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Genesis 8:1 God remembers! He knows all. How do you feel about these comments? Read Genesis 8:1. Whom did God remember? What did he remember? Do you find this verse a little unsettling? I mean, God told Noah to build an ark, commanded all the animals to go on the ark, and then shut Noah, his family, and the animals all up on the ark and then proceeded to flood the world. Wouldn’t you hope he would…

Wonders Never Cease
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 John 1:2 God is truly amazing! I cannot totally describe how I feel and think about my Lord! The Bible does an amazing job of describing our Triune God! God never ceases to show us how wonderful and amazing He is! I have a missionary friend; as she grew up, she would see things that we don’t see all the time. The spiritual world was and is very real to her. God speaks to people even today in…

Permission To Believe
You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. Psalm 77:14 Do you believe that God intervenes miraculously in the life of humans? Here are a few fundamental truths. Even though we are not in an era where miracles and wonders described our era. God still performs miracles and wonders. The Bible teaches that signs and wonders will dramatically increase in the latter days. God makes countless merciful exceptions; God reserves the right to respond readily to faith. A popular theory for the rarety of miracles today is that God no longer performs them. God is not offended when we…

My Maker of Heaven and Earth
By Faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:3 Why should we believe who God says he is? Let’s look at Hebrews 11:3; by what means can we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command? God doesn’t have to prove to us that He is real or that He made the universe. Hebrews 11:6 is our answer to the question, “why does God not prove Himself or His claims.” What is the answer? God created us to find pleasure in us, and our faith is…

Test of Faith
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. 1 Corinthians 13:5 Today we are going to take a test. A test to self examine ourselves and reflect where we are with God. What is great about this test will not be for everyone to see other than God and you. It will be between you and God. No one else. Read the following scripture Romans 8:28, Hebrews 13:8, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 John 1:1, Mark 9:21-23, Jeremiah 33:3, Acts 4:23-31, Psalm 2:1-2 to help answer the following questions or statements. I believe all of Scripture is actually God’s word? I…

Who God Says He Is
I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. Isaiah 46:9 How much do you know about God? Do you believe in who He says He is? Read Matthew 16: 13-19. As you read this passage, keep in mind that as we apply them to God the Father, these are Christ’s own words that the Father and He are One. John 10: 30. Where do you get your information about who God is? From books, media, friends, religious people, or religious leaders? If you are an active believing God follower, you have to hold everything you learn…
