Full Cup

Full Cup

The Lord is my inheritance and my cup. You are the one who determines my destiny.
Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

 I will praise the Lord, who advises me. My conscience warns me at night.
 I always keep the Lord in front of me. When He is by my side, I cannot be moved.
That is why my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices. My body rests securely because you do not abandon my soul to the grave or allow your holy one to decay.
11 You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence.
Pleasures are by your side forever. Psalm 16: 5-11 (GWT)

Let Jehovah God weave your thoughts, the Holy Spirit touching your spirit, guiding you to a fully fulfilled Life!

Morning Line: Choose Wisely

Morning Line: Choose Prayerfully!

 

We assume that whenever opportunity knocks, we must answer the door.  If we don’t choose our opportunities prayerfully and wisely, we’ll dilute our efforts in every endeavor.

 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:14-17 (NRVCE)

 For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

“…let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us” Hebrews 12:1 (NRCVCE)

Be prayerful and courageous, and choose wisely, trusting the Holy Spirit to put you on the right track in the right race at the right time, to fulfil your call, to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ, and to fulfil your destiny designed for you before time began!

 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NRSVCE)

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?

I have been reading the book of Job. Job lost 10 kids. Lost all his businesses. Lost his wife’s support. Lost his health. Boils spread from head to foot. Gross pus oozed, flesh turned black, pain never ceased, emaciated, persistent itching, worms crawled in his flesh, exhausted, tears, and wishing he were not alive.

Enter the three so-called friends Job refers to as SORRY COMFORTERS. They heap condemnation, guilt, shame, blame, and legalism on the sick man. As rigid armchair theologians, they declare that Job is sick because of hidden sin in his life. The finger-pointing is unrelenting. To them, Job was getting what he deserved. Job was their punching bag to showcase their rigid theology. They had no box for a blameless man who was EXHIBIT A in the showdown going on in the heavenlies.

Surely there are better ways to be a friend to the hurting.
1. Practice the Ministry of Presence – “There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24)
2. Empathize with their Pain – “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15)
3. Let People Grieve – “Grieve, but not like those who have no hope.” (I Thess. 4:13)
4. Listen More Than You Talk – “Be quick to hear, slow to speak.” (James 1:19)
5. Do not Give Nickel Answers to Million Dollar Questions – Some things need to be left with God.
6. Bear Burdens Practically – “Bear one another’s burdens.” (Galatians 6:2)
7. Instill Hope – Emphasize God’s Promises, Love, Compassion, and Goodness

Oh, if Job only had a NO VISITORS sign hanging on his door. Let us not be SORRY COMFORTERS.

Chaplain Michael Sprague

What can you do to be a better friend and Comforter?

Overcoming the World

Overcoming the World

Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.]  For there are three witnesses: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement [their testimony is perfectly consistent]. If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [that is, if we are willing to take the sworn statements of fallible humans as evidence], the testimony of God is greater [far more authoritative]; for this is the testimony of God, that He has testified regarding His Son. The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience]. The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life.

 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life. This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [settled with absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him. 1 John 5:1-15 (AMP)

Morning Line: Your Jericho

Morning Line: Tumble Your Jericho Walls

 

Remember, the walls were still up until they shouted in faith, and then they came tumbling down!

God has victory for you; don’t be discouraged. God’s Word does not fail. Persist in your faith; don’t waver and see your Jericho walls come down.

1 John 4:4” Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”

Own this promise in your heart and mind: “Victory is Yours”.

In Him working through you “You are more than a Conqueror “

  As it is written…. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, Romans 8:36-38 (NRSVCE)

Friend, have A Peaceful Heart!

John 14:1“Let not your heart be troubled.”

When a crisis comes—and it will—reach for the Word and Promises of Father God, and let not your heart be troubled.

Be prepared; you can keep troubles from getting inside you. It doesn’t matter what your crisis is; God can turn your problem around if you will believe and not panic. Jesus said Follow me, and I will bring you rest. Trust His word today; Jesus Christ has you back.

Get up, buckle up, and tumble your Jericho Walls, YOU ARE A WINNER!

The Call

The Call

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:1-4, 12-17 (NKJ)

Let God’s grace work in you, so that Christ Jesus’ love may glow in your life today, shining on everyone you meet!

Morning Line: Stressed Decompress

Morning Line: Stressed Decompress

 

Exhaustion is a by-product of overcommitted schedules and endless responsibilities, cramming in more through multitasking, leaving one emotionally and physically fatigued.

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Isaiah 40:28-29 (NRSVCE)

Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace— in peace because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God  you have an everlasting rock…”Isaiah 26:3-4 (NRSVCE)

 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me, and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

Slow down; let the Lord order your steps. Find peace, strength, and rest in his timing. He knows when you are prepared and ready to Win your next Race, and the gate Will Open.

Morning Line: You’re a Diamond

Morning Line: You’re a Diamond!

You’re a lump of coal under loving pressure that our loving Father God is molding and pressing you into a one-of-a-kind diamond to shine into the lives of others on his behalf, radiating all the love, mercy, and grace He gave you.

Don’t blow it; God’s love is the most powerful force in your life. It’s up to us to keep it burning by giving and sharing harmony, mercy, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness.

 “Create in me a clean heart, O God,  and put a new and right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

Don’t Judge

Do Not Judge Another

Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions.  Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat; for God has welcomed them. Who are you to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Those who observe the day, observe it in honor of the Lord. Also those who eat, eat in honor of the Lord, since they give thanks to God; while those who abstain, abstain in honor of the Lord and give thanks to God.

We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

 Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written,

“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.”

So then, each of us will be accountable to God. Romans 14:1-12

Let Jehovah God weave your thoughts, the Holy Spirit touching your spirit, guiding you to a fully fulfilled Life!
