Stand Up For God!

“But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭10:33‬ ‭

Jesus died for each of us in public, He did not care that others mocked Him and hated Him. Why would we live a life for Him privately? If we constantly hide our faith and the way we love God, how are we being all God has called us to be? Sometimes in life, we let others' opinions of our faith change our perspective. We tend to want to hide the best thing that has ever happened to us from everyone: God's grace and love. We cannot expect God to do miracles for us in public when we aren't public about our faith. We are always expecting God to constantly be public for and about us but when it comes down to someone making fun of God we don't stand up for Him. We have to make sure we are standing up for God in front of anyone. I struggled for a long time to make sure that I put God first in front of everyone and make it known that I'm a Christian, but I realized that God wouldn't hide us if it came down to it, so why would I hide my faith? We need to make it public what we believe in. The Bible says if we deny Jesus then He will deny us in front of His Father in Heaven. We can't deny Jesus, and expect Him to stand up for us. Today no matter who you're around famous people, popular kids, judgemental co-workers, or even someone that makes fun of you for your beliefs stand up for God! Tell everyone you know you believe in Him and let it be known. You're a child of God and He will always protect you! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭ “So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭ “You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭ “And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.” 1 John‬ ‭2:22‬ ‭

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...
