Stop Running Back.

“And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭

Stop trying to run back to what God healed you from. When God delivers us from situations we tend to return out of comfort. You will never become all that God has called you to be if you constantly put yourself back into places that God delivers you from. When God pulled Jonah out of the belly of the fish He didn't go back to the ocean to find another, instead He went and preached the Gospel. When God brought Noah to the top of the mountain, Noah didn't make the ark His home. When God brought Daniel out of the Lions' den, He didn't try to crawl back down. Stop running back to places that were only meant for a season. Your lessons in life are not your final destination. We aren't meant to stay in the battle but to learn from it. Today, stay away from the places God pulled you out of. Stop running to comfort and start running to God. Nothing God healed you from will satisfy you the way you think it will. Only God can fulfill all of our needs. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” Psalms‬ ‭34:19‬ ‭ “The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.” Psalms‬ ‭91:14‬ ‭ “Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free.” Psalms‬ ‭71:2‬ ‭ “I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.” Psalms‬ ‭34:4‬ ‭

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...
