Jesus Didn't Feel Like It Either.

"So please don't lose heart because of my trails here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored." Ephesians 3:13

As I was getting ready to write tonight I was tired and drained and didn't feel like writing, as I spoke "I really don't feel like writing at this moment" God spoke to me within and said, "And I didn't feel like going up on that cross either." It really spoke to me, not only because I knew that He was telling me to get up and write but also that even though He knew He needed to die for our sins to give us a way for forgiveness, He was scared and didn't want to do it as a human with feelings does. We all wake up some Sunday and we just don't feel like getting up to go to church, there are days we just don't feel like reading the Bible, there are days we just don't feel like worshiping, there are days we just don't feel like praying, and even days where we just don't feel like spending that quality time with God. See God didn't feel like going on the cross and dying a sinner's death for our sins either, He even asked the Father to take this from Him if it was His will. What we tend to forget is that Jesus felt human emotions the exact same way we do every day, just because you don't feel like it doesn't mean you should stop doing things for God. So get up do that devotion, say that prayer, worship, and go to church next time the doors are open. Here are some verses to reflect on. "Father if you are willing please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will be done, not mine." Luke 22:42 "Then the angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him." Luke 22:43 "How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak!" Job 26:2 "He feels pity for the weak and the needy and he will rescue them." Psalms 72:13

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
