Prayer!

Did you pray today? Although we say prayer is important, how much time do you actually spend praying one, five or ten minutes? Are your prayers more than “bless them” and “keep them from harm” prayers? Prayer is the most important thing we can do every day. Earnest prayer will help us both personally and professionally more than anything else in this life. I challenge you today to pray frequently, earnestly and fervently.

Be Renewed Today!

As each day passes let us be aware of the work that the Lord is doing in our lives. While our flesh may be “falling apart” and our physical bodies are suffering, it is our spiritual lives that are taking bloom and growing. What a renewal that is, to become like Jesus! This is a daily process, one that will take a lifetime. Fortunately God never gives up on us and He will patiently do this work in our lives every day. Let us submit to Him daily as He forms us in His image!

Focus!

Are your responsibilities distracting you from hearing God’s voice today? Do your prayers seem to get stuck on the ceiling? Do you find yourself re-reading what you just read in the Bible and not getting anything from the passage? Stop and look up! Focus your eyes on the one who loves you the most. He is waiting for your undivided attention, so He can teach you great and marvelous things. Seek him diligently so that you may walk in His perfect will.

Do You Need Encouragement?

Having someone by your side to help you through life's problems is a blessing from God. Do you feel alone in facing your battles today? His love and strength are as close as the next prayer. When you need an "extra" hand to get through a particularly tough day. He knows and cares. God loves you so much that He will send the exact person you need to help hold you up. If you are in a heavy situation right now, pray and watch as God proves Himself mighty in sending the encouragement you need.

Exercise with His Word!

As Christians, “forgetting” to stay in the Word of God daily can ruin your spiritual walk. Life is hard enough without having God’s word to guide you. Don’t allow laziness, procrastination, or even the daily diversions of life to rob you of the strength you need for each day’s tasks. There is simply one way to combat forgetting, and that is remembering. Ask Him to help you prioritize and make time for reading His word. Without it we are doomed for failure!

The Easy Way or God's Way

Taking the easy way out is common today. Most saved people consider the testing of their faith something to be avoided or eliminated altogether. Instead of choosing to walk through life’s trials with God, we bypass God and use manmade answers. Is life stretching you to the limits and trying your patience? Be sure in knowing that God is working in your life! He knows how demanding each day can be and wants you to trust Him “by hand.” Place your hand and the reins of your life in His today. Allow Him to perform a work in your life.

Servanthood

In living the Christian life, you may face “chores” God has given you to do. What about you? Are you complaining about the chores God has given you to do or have you learned to submit to the lesson of servanthood? Make no mistake, God will keep leading you back to what He last asked you to do until you say, “: Yes, Lord. Here I am send me.” Embrace the responsibility and see the task for what it is an opportunity to glorify God and bless others. Is there anything you could be doing better with your life?
