Tune Your Ears to Wisdom

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.Cry out for insight,and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,and you will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Lives Built on Him

6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7

He is the foundation on which we stand. To build a strong faith and a thankful heart requires study of God's word. The Scriptures teach us not only the promises of God but also the heart and personality of God. When we spend time in the Bible our foundation becomes more solid and complete. All other ground is sinking sand.

He Will Sustain You

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55:22 (NIV)

Trust is difficult, there is so much risk involved with trusting another person. They may fail us. But God is not like us, He will never let us fall. Cast all your anxious thoughts and concerns on the Lord, don't hold back anything from Him. He is dependable, trustworthy, and constant. His love never fails.

A Lighthouse

"I am God. I have called you to live right and well. I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe. I have set you among my people to bind them to me, and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations.” Isaiah 42:6 (Message)

We are each a lighthouse to the nations. Let your light shine brightly to those around you today. Can they see the light of Christ in your life? Shine so that others can see God's work in your life.

For His Glory

“Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.” Matthew 11:4-5 (NIV)

These are the works that Jesus did while on earth. We are told in scripture that we will do greater things than these. Can you imagine, if we allowed God to work through us to the fullest what we could accomplish for the Kingdom! O God, use us for your glory!

Where is Your Place?

“But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Luke 5:16 (NIV)

A lonely place has no distractions. Finding a place to pray and tuning out the world to focus on our Lord in prayer is critical to hearing His voice. Where is the place you feel at peace and your soul is at rest? Give God your special place and see if He will not speak to you so clearly.

Every Step I Take

“Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.” Deuteronomy 8:11 (NIV)

Is there any one moment in any day that you are not aware of God and His purposes in your life? If He is truly Master and Lord, we should never take a step without consulting Him. Every move I make belongs to you, my Lord.
