Morning Line: You are a Treasure

Morning Line: You are a Treasure!

”For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shown in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair…”  2 Corinthians 4:6-8

 

There is Treasure within You

God has given you talents, and He wants you to use. They may lie dormant under layers of failure, fear, or low self-esteem. You may be aware of them, not knowing how to put them to work.

Ponder this: ‘… we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.’ Only the God who placed your talents within us knows where they’re hidden and how to release them. By not allowing God to develop your talents you play into satan’s hands, living far below your potential. The fact is, you have so much treasure buried within you that the enemy is out to steal it. You never have to wonder about satan’s motives. Jesus said he comes ‘…to steal, kill and destroy…’ John 10:10.

Your talents may be raw and undeveloped, or buried under years of self-doubt, unconfessed sin, bad habits, regret, and despair. But God can take something that looks like nothing, and create something wonderful. So imagine what He can do when He has something to start with! “Like You”!!

Today let’s pray, ‘Father, help us to recognize the talents You have placed within us, with the Holy Spirit to develop them for Your glory to lives around us, Amen.’ That’s a prayer God will answer!

Daily, pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

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

You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline to make a difference; prepare your heart, mind, and spirit.

Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are your sure, unshakable foundation.

You matter; your Story matters. Live expectantly!

God Bless

Morning Line: Life Now Life Eternal

Morning Line: Life Now Life Eternal

ARE YOU INVESTING YOUR LIFE IN THINGS THAT ARE ETERNAL

When I was in my twenties, I had a mentor who used to say, “There are two races you can run… the temporal and eternal. There are two kinds of investment portfolios… one temporal and one eternal. Put your greater emphasis on the eternal.” He said, “One day everything will burn up, so make sure you lay up treasure in heaven.”

I can think of three things that are eternal: Jesus Christ, human beings, and the Word of God. Ten thousand years from now, these three things will still matter.

This counsel is just as good today as it was many years ago.

Chaplain Michael Sprague

 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also. Matthew 6:19-22 (AMP)

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you with power and might to take care of the day before you.

For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]” Isaiah 26:3-4  (AMP)

Isaiah 26:3-4 emphasizes that God will provide perfect peace to those who maintain steadfast trust in Him. This peace is characterized by unwavering faith and reliance on the Lord, who is described as an eternal rock.

The Nature of God.

  • Perfect Peace — God promises to keep those whose minds are steadfast in perfect peace, reflecting a deep trust in Him.
  • Steadfast Mind —A steadfast mind is crucial to experiencing this peace, focusing on God rather than circumstances.
  • Eternal Rock — The Lord is our ‘Rock eternal, our stability and always reliable in times of trouble.
  • Trust — The call to trust in the Lord forever reinforces that faith is foundational to receiving His peace

Morning Line: Your Heart

Morning Line: Your Heart

 God isn’t as concerned about what you do as He is about who you are. He wants your fellowship more than your service. If He has your heart, there is no question He will have your service. Where is your heart?

 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:21 (NRSVCE)

If asked Treasure? What are the first three things that would come to your mind? 1____2____3____.

Would you like an abundantly filled life? Consistently do the three things.

“…strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you… Matthew 6:32-34 (NRSVCE)

Your heavenly Father knows what you need in all these things.

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NRSVCE)

 “ Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name…” Psalm 100:3-4 (NRSVCE)

As you daily do these things, your desires will align with God’s desires in you for your best fulfilled life serving Him and others.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Seek the Lord Wholeheartedly

Seek the Lord Wholeheartedly

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.  Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”

 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there,
But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there,
But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there,
But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

 “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.” Isaiah 55: 1-13

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Open the windows of your soul to the light of God’s inspiration and understanding. Let the fresh air of God’s love revivify you, and thrill you. Awaken to the glory that is within, for only then will you truly find the glory that is in the outer!      (Emmet Fox)

Nehemiah 8:10 “ Then he said to them, ‘Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Revelation 21:1 “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. “

As the Dawn breaks Cease the day as you release the Holy Spirit in You , your very best is just ahead of you!!!

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

Hold fast to this Truth for You, with mankind, things are Limited, but with God, “All Things Are Possible and Limitless.

Morning Line: Support Others

Morning Line: Support Others 

A life lesson received from a father. When he returned from a trip to Africa, he said he saw a wounded elephant. He watched as the herd of elephants circled around their hurting and weak friend and held him up. They instinctively knew that if he fell, he would never be able to get back up. They stayed and supported him until he was strong enough to stand alone. Her dad told her we all get wounded sooner or later and we all need elephants to hold us up.

Galatians 6:2 says we are to bear one another’s burdens, and Galatians 6:5 says we are to bear our own burdens. Contradiction? Never. The Bible is totally consistent and always true. 6:5 is emphasizing that in the ordinary days of life we are to carry our own load. We are not to shirk responsibility, mooch off of others, and pass our personal duties off to someone else due to laziness or entitlement.

Galatians 6:2 addresses times in life when a crisis or trial becomes too heavy for a person to carry alone – sudden tragedies (like the death of a spouse, a severe medical diagnosis, or financial ruin) or being severely weighed down by a struggle with sin and temptation. Christians are commanded to come alongside one another to help lift these crushing weights, fulfilling “the law of Christ”.

It is like the Scriptures are saying we are to carry our own backpacks. But there will be crushing times in life when our backpacks will be too heavy to shoulder alone, so we humbly allow others to help.

Let’s learn from the elephants and, more importantly, from the Word of God.

Bear one another’s burdens when times are overwhelming.

Chaplain Michael Sprague

Morning Line: Unlikely Usable

Morning Line: Unlikely Usable

1 Samuel 16:7 says: Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature… see not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart”

God makes stars out of the unlikely. Don’t be afraid to be an “Usable Unlikely” heart. Seabiscuit was smaller than most horses, but his heart took him to the winner’s circle against the odds, and God can do the same for you. Give God 100% of your heart, and see what happens, and what doors open for you. It will be amazing where He will take you, blessing you to be a blessing!

A Holy Spirit-powered man is meant to be an increasing force, an example of Father God’s steadfast love, mercy, grace, healing, and teaching, an ever-increasing force in your life and those assigned to be around you. Friend, have heart, keep pressing into the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Keep going; don’t stop in the plains; greater things are for you on the hilltops.

Pray: “You enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.” Psalm 18:36

I will run the way of your commandments, as you have enlarged my heart” Psalm 119:32

Each step up increases your view. Hold fast to this truth: Father God has a “Word” and “Upgrade” for you today,

I pray you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and heart to step up. Mount up, Brothers and Sisters; you have a Race to Win and Lives to touch.

Morning Line: Kneeling to Get Up!

 

Time on your knees in prayer leads to getting up, going, and Winning!

 “You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous lover.” And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.” So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God, and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.”

God is good all the time and ready and able. Seek Him, and the door will open to supply your daily need. He just plain Loves you; surrender to His will and see your life change and be fulfilled. James 4:5-10  (MSG)

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you with power and might to take care of the day before you.

Don’t let MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News do your thinking for you

Sometimes like our horses we need blinkers not be distracted during a race. At times, we need spiritual blinkers to stay on course, focused on the solution, not the problem, to hear the Holy Spirit talk to us and guide us. Take on God’s blinkers today; run a good race.

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” Philippians 4:6
