It's A Single Step.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” James‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭

God doesn't only want weekend visits from you. Going to church, worshiping, and praying on Sunday but having no communication with God during the week will never be enough to have a true relationship with God. You have to make sure you're not giving God only Sundays with Him. If you feel as though you've begun to slip away from God, take time today to spend with Him. God just wants time with you. The Bible tells us that we come close to God and He will come close to us. Prayer is the boundary between where you're at in your relationship with God and where you need to be. When you begin to communicate with God then you will begin to see your relationship with Him bloom into what it has needed to be all along. Today, if you feel as though you're in a drought of life where you seem hopeless and like there just isn't anything good happening ask yourself this, have you taken that to God? Have you communicated with Him recently or have you put Him on a time schedule of only weekends? Take time and tell God everything you're going through, thinking of, and doing because when you cross the bridge with a single step God will meet you there. You are only as close to Him as you want to be. You can't communicate with Him on Sunday and forget until you need something from Him on Friday, He is our personal Savior and friend every day that we choose to let Him be. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.” Psalms‬ ‭145:18‬ ‭“Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord. “No, I am far away at the same time.” Jeremiah‬ ‭23:23‬ ‭ “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalms‬ ‭34:18‬ ‭ “Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.” 1 Timothy‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭

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...
