We Are HIS Workmanship!

-
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.  (NKJV)

Good Day Men,
What should be our daily focus?  What shall we as believers make the center of our attention in all that we say and do? 

First we are the workmanship of our most holy God. 

Second we were created for good works in Christ Jesus. 

Third God prepared these works that they should be our daily walk. 
These verse components should tell us that we were created so serve God.  He has great purpose in all that He wants to do through us.  Every task that is before us should be looked at as a responsibility toward God to do what is right.  The only exception is if what you are doing is contrary to God’s Word and His principles set forth in that Word, then you simply cannot do that task. 
We have responsibility to serve God on His terms.  We need to evaluate our motives against the Word of God to make sure we are following God’s call for our lives to conform to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ in all that we say and do.

Key Thought: Join me in reading the Word of God.  Let’s take time and come together and worship and praise God through the reading and study of who He is and what He wants us to do here on this earth.  Our life will be so rewarding when our focus and attention is set on the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus.  Help me to seek You in all things that You set before me this day.  Guide me into all that I say and do today that I may ALWAYS bring You honor and glory.   In Jesus name I pray, AMEN!

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 ...
