Devotions For God.

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬ ‭

Doing devotions every day can be tiring and oftentimes feel more like a chore than something we enjoy, but being persistent in the word of God is the best thing we can do. See being persistent means "continuing to exist or endure over a prolonged period." If we stay persistent in reading the Bible, praying, and even devotions we are showing our faithfulness to God. If we want God to trust and bless us with big things then He has to know that we will be faithful to Him in the small things. It's easy to be close to God and pray when we go through hard times because we often lean on Him for support but where it really shows is if we will be faithful to God when everything in life is going exactly right. Being persistent in prayer, worship, devotion, and going to church is the best way to show God that we are more than capable to be faithful to Him fully. Today, if you feel as though you are tired of doing devotions, reading the Bible, praying, and even going to church then remind yourself why you started doing all those things to grow closer to God in the first place. You want a relationship with God, and that oftentimes that comes with having to be faithful even when you're in a dry season of your walk with God. God never leaves or forsakes us, it's us who drift away. If you feel like you're distant from God remember you're only as close to God as you want to be. Take a step and make more effort to grow closer to Him. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.” Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬ ‭ “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen!” Psalms‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ ‭ “So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬  ‭ “Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭36‬ ‭

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...
