Being a Man ..... and Being Significant... (Part 9)

-
Proverbs 16: 3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.  (NKJV)

This verse shows the depth of the term “Commitment”.  Being fully committed to God in all things does not make us a robot or a puppet on a string.  Not at all.  Commitment also does not only refer to Pastors and leaders of the church.  It includes them.  Our commitment to God is a departure from the things of the world and a focused and renewed heart for the things above.  It’s not the new car, nor the new home your neighbor may have.  Oh no.  It’s much more than that.  Commitment to God is represented more often by the term “SOLD OUT”.  The things of this world don’t have the same value they once did.  The things above take on a whole new meaning.  The lives of our children and our wives are now one of our greatest concerns.  Are they saved?  Will they be in heaven with me?  Are they seeking Christ?  Am I or have I ever been the example I needed to be as their dad or husband?  It’s time to correct your course.  Through the Holy Spirit God implants in our hearts and minds the things that make us who we are in Christ.  It’s up to us to accept that and move forward with our compass set toward God’s goals for us as believers.

Men, it’s time to turn to Him today.  He has all the answers for what you are going through.  Seek Him where He may be found………His Holy Word.

Prayer:  Dear Father in Heaven, guide me to your sanctuary, in the place were You are revealed.  Help me to have the level of commitment you intended for me, and guide me into becoming the Godly man You envision for my life that I may touch the lives of those around me with Your intent.  Establish my thoughts in You.   In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will, and His way, through His Word.

Have a GREAT Day!!!

In Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
