A Heart Chasing After God.

“But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭13:22‬ ‭

See when God chooses someone for a purpose and a plan, He doesn't look at you and wonder if you're capable of doing what He is calling you to do, instead, He gives you the ability and strength to do what He has called you to do. He is calling you because He has either already prepared you, or will prepare you for what you are called to do. You will never walk into your calling from God and not be prepared, God does not call the qualified but instead, He qualifies those who are called. When God chose David to be the king, the Bible says that God found a man after His heart, that being David. If you feel as though you haven't found your calling think about where your heart truly is. Is your heart chasing God or chasing the world? Where your heart goes the mind follows, and when your mind is on the world, and things of it, you eventually fall into sin because you are chasing the wrong things. God wants us to be fully aware of what we are called to do through Him, and the best way to do that and to be the best person for that job is to have a heart chasing after God. Today, make sure your heart is chasing after God and watch how God opens up your ministry and calling for Him. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.” Psalms‬ ‭51:10‬ ‭ “God would surely have known it, for he knows the secrets of every heart.” Psalms‬ ‭44:21‬ ‭ “You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God.” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭8:21‬ ‭ “I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.””Psalms‬ ‭40:8‬ ‭

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...
