“The Launch” 2015

In our next phase of “The Launch” we need to look at the promises of God through His servant King David.  In Psalm 37: 23 David writes: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.”  We need to understand what the word “ordered” means here before we can move on.  The word “order” is not by command for us to take orders shouted out to us telling us what to do next.  Oh no, this is shown as a degree of “order” as our lives were being pieced together one piece at a time with great precision and in His (God’s) case a sense of spiritual order not our understanding of order from a human standpoint.  His purpose is to fulfill our lives in ways that point to Him. 

God built into or lives a sense of understanding from the very beginning of time.  We see the returns on His investment in our lives as humans when we look at Enoch.  Obtaining that kind of relationship with God is possible but the Enoch type of result is unlikely at best.  The influence of the world is so great and is only getting greater and not in a good way.  God wants to live through us and build His character into our lives as we grow in Him.  This takes time, but most relationships do.  He has a distinct advantage over us as His creation.  He is all powerful and all knowing, so He knows our hearts and minds and He knows where we are going and what we are doing at all times.  There is not one split second of our life that goes unnoticed by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.  This is an incredible benefit to us as believers.  God guides us but we need to be in tune with Him by relationship so that we are open to all He says and does through His Word, prayers, and fellowship with other believers as well.

Our journey is relational and it begins with Him.  Do you know Him?

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, please lead us and guide us and help us to be submissive to your calling and direction in our lives as we seek your will and purpose in a fulfilling relationship in serving you as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In Jesus’ name, AMEN! (and YES this duplicate Prayer was intentional)

Have a Blessed day!

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 ...
