Feed Your Spirit Daily.

“I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food.” Job‬ ‭23:12‬ ‭

When we go to a restaurant to eat we try our best to not fill up on appetizers or water because then we wouldn’t be hungry for our meal. That’s how it is in our spiritual walk with God we can’t be filled with the lies the enemy tells us, earthly pleasures, money, sin, selfishness, greed, and completely full of ourselves because then we won’t be hungry for God. We have to stay hungry and on fire for God to grow spiritually. If we only read our Bible and pray on Sunday then our spirits aren’t being fed enough. That’s like only eating on Sundays and expecting to be full all week. It doesn’t work that way. I use to be the kind of Christian myself that only was spiritually fed on Sundays, but then God started to speak to me and say “you have to discipline yourself to walk with me daily.” I then changed my life and started to do devotions, read my Bible, and pray every day sometimes multiple times. If you’re feeling like the fire in your soul is gone to live for God then try to read His word, read a part of the Bible that you’re interested in to draw you in again until you feel that fire. We are here to set an example to others on how to live, and if we’re only growing once a week in our relationship with God then how can we be ministers of the Gospel daily? The answer is we can’t. We have to grow daily to understand daily things that happen in our lives. This year I suggest that you dive deep into God’s word daily, spend time alone in prayer, maybe in a small room where you have even a closet, and also do devotions to teach you things from a new perspective. Grow daily in Christ, and make sure your spirit is fed on Heavenly things rather than earthly things. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” Luke‬ ‭9:23‬ ‭ ““So guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his own blood—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20:28‬ ‭ “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.” Galatians‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭ “The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭

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...
