First Thought Of Everyday.

“You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.” Exodus‬ ‭34:14‬ ‭

Our last thought at night and first thought in the morning are often considered to be the true desire of our hearts at the time. The Bible teaches us that we should have no other God. Now I'm not saying we can't love the person we're with, love to play video games or watch tv but we cannot make anything an idol over God. We should pray before we sleep thanking God for the day He so graciously has given us and when we wake up thank God for another chance to serve Him. You cannot let things in your everyday life become greater than the One who gives you life every day. Think about it like this, if you spend the entire day watching tv, going to hang out with friends, texting on your phone, or anything else you're not going to have enough time for God. Your first priority should be to help your relationship with God thrive. You can't expect God to bless you with everything you want in life if you never talk to Him and constantly put everyone and everything in life above Him. I read a quote once that named off a bunch of things that we do such as spend hours watching movies, playing on our phones, and spending time with friends but we struggle to read the Bible for 5 minutes. It's the reality of how life sometimes becomes but we have to overcome it. We have to make up our minds to putting God first and spending all the time we can with Him. Today, make time for God, make time to read His Word, pray and truly seek His will for your life. Remind yourself that there is never a day that God has forgotten to wake you up so don't forget to spend time with Him. Make sure you put God first not only in everything you do and say but to put Him above everyone and everything! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.” Luke‬ ‭12:31‬ ‭“For although the first woman came from man, every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11:12‬  “The Lord alone guided them; they followed no foreign gods.” Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:12‬ ‭ “The people replied, “We would never abandon the Lord and serve other gods.” Joshua‬ ‭24:16‬ ‭

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...
