Love is Sincere and Active

Love is Sincere and Active

Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good.

Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family],

give preference to one another in honor; never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you [who cause you harm or hardship]; bless and do not curse [them]. Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others’ joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others’ grief]. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty [conceited, self-important, exclusive], but associate with humble people [those with a realistic self-view]. Do not overestimate yourself. Never repay anyone evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone.

If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.”

Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:9-21(AM)

You are chosen for this space and time in God’s time line, to make a difference prepare your heart, mind, and spirit. Take on your Armor of God and be ready.

You matter your Story matters live expectantly!

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

Pursuing God Devotional Day 2 of 52 by A.W. Tozer

Day 2

God’s Nearness

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.”

 

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

In moments of doubt or silence, we might feel that God is far away.

Tozer reminds us that this is never the case. God’s

nearness is a constant truth, and His proximity surpasses our

deepest awareness.

Psalm 145  (read) affirms that God’s nearness

is experienced when we call on Him sincerely. We are never

alone in our trials or victories; He is closer than our very breath.

Today, reflect on God’s abiding presence and find comfort in

His unchanging closeness.

Lord, thank You for being nearer to me than I can comprehend.

Help me to trust in Your presence, even when I cannot feel it.

Amen.

Morning Line: Magnify the Lord

Morning Line: Magnify!

Magnify means make greater and more effect. God is who He is; only we make Him bigger or smaller in our life.

Luke 1:46 “… My soul doth magnify the Lord”

What size are Jehovah God (Creator of All), Christ Jesus Savior-Healer), Holy Spirit (Teacher-Guide) to you in your heart, spirit, soul, and body?

In the world the actual is limited. In” JESUS CHRIST” the possibilities are Infinite!!

What size are Jehovah God (Creator of All), Christ Jesus Savior-Healer), Holy Spirit (Teacher-Guide) to you in your heart, spirit, soul, and body?

Ephesians 3:20 “God who is able to do exceedingly above all that we ask”

Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing will be impossible”

Romans 8:31 “What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?”

Stand confident God is with you through thick and thin and will carry you to victory. He is your steadfast refuge and strength your ever present companion as you let His spirit guide.

Focus on God’s goodness and faithfulness, magnify Him, your faith gets stronger and your answers come sooner. Let the Holy Spirit of God fill you today and lift you to high ground

Psalm 69:30”….praise the name of God with a song….magnify him with thanksgiving”

As you meditate today may you feel touch from the Father-Son-Spirit’

Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Pursuing God Devotional Day 1of 52 by A.W. Tozer

Welcome to this 52-day devotional journey inspired by

A.W. Tozer’s timeless work, The Pursuit of God. This

devotional is designed to guide you into a deeper relationship

with God, fostering reflection, prayer, and spiritual growth

through the integration of scripture and Tozer’s thoughtprovoking

insights.

Tozer’s writings challenge us to cultivate an authentic

hunger for God, offering profound encouragement to pursue

Him with our whole hearts. Each day, you’ll encounter a quote

from The Pursuit of God, paired with relevant scripture and a

reflection to illuminate how God’s Word intersects with Tozer’s

wisdom. Through these daily readings, may you experience the

transformative power of God’s presence and develop a greater

awareness of His work in your life.

Day 1

The Soul’s Paradox of Love

“To have found God and still to pursue

Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

You will seek me and find me when

you seek me with all your heart.

J E R E M I A H 2 9 : 1 3

A.W. Tozer describes the unique tension in the Christian life:

the joy of finding God and the insatiable longing to know Him

more. This paradox is not a contradiction but a reflection

of love’s true nature. When we experience God’s presence, it

fuels our desire to draw closer. Jeremiah’s words assure us that

God is not distant but fully accessible to those who seek Him

wholeheartedly. Let this truth inspire you to pursue God daily,

knowing He reveals Himself to those who long for Him.

Lord, thank You for the joy of knowing You and the desire

to know You more. Draw me closer to Your heart each day.

Amen.

Toolbox

Tool Box

Gods unchangeable Word is your Tool Box!

t’s no secret that most guys like tools. I wander around Lowes and Home depot and drool. At home I have all the tools I need for different projects. Carpentry, electrical, plumbing. It makes good sense not only to have the proper tool to do the job, but the wisdom to know how to use them. Same is true if we call ourselves Christians. If you don’t have a Bible and don’t read it and know how to apply that spiritual knowledge to our daily challenges, well seems like an empty sack. Our trade schools ought to be our church. Don’t just teach one or too tools but all God has to offer. Lets get to work. Just saying.

”Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee. Isaiah 26:3 (NRSVCE)

As you are Rooted and grounded in Word and Faith you won’t fade when the time comes to stand.

“ testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it”1 Corinthians 10:13 (NRSVCE) 

Keep your mind on God’s word and promises as your spirit and soul agrees, God’s perfect peace will overtake you and put you at rest.

Wisdom

Wisdom from Above

 Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him by his good conduct show his [good] deeds with the gentleness and humility of true wisdom.  But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be arrogant, and [as a result] be in defiance of the truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly (secular), natural (unspiritual), even demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder [unrest, rebellion] and every evil thing and morally degrading practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable [and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile]. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness (spiritual maturity) is sown in peace by those who make peace [by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals]. James 3:13-18 (AMP)

“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth,
Making it bear and sprout,
And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will not return to Me void (useless, without result),
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11(AMP)
