No Favorites.

“Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭10:34‬ ‭

Have you ever looked at someone else's life and thought Man are they blessed with such good things? In today's world, we have social media, television, and so many other ways to see things and we realize that sometimes others get the exact thing we are praying for. Have you ever had to wait for something you desperately need? Think of Sarah and Abraham they prayed for a child and they eventually had the child that God had promised them. I'm sure Sarah felt forgotten, and maybe even got to a place where she felt like God had favorites. Sometimes we look at the way others are being blessed and feel as though God has favorites but the Bible shows us that He doesn't in this verse. He loves us all the same, He died for you the same way He died for me and every other person in this world. He loves every single person on this earth the same. Sometimes it's more about the wait than the blessing. When you prove to God you can be content with what you have, you can be faithful in prayer and worship then God blesses us. It's not about the Blessing it's about the wait and the prayers in between. Focus on what you have now not what is to come, God never forgets the promises He makes. Today, remind yourself that God has absolutely no favorites, He loves you just the same as He loves anyone else. Your promise and blessings are coming. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.” James‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭ “Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭ “May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’” Numbers‬ ‭6:26‬ ‭ “May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.”Numbers‬ ‭6:25‬ ‭

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...
