Eye Has Not Seen

1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (NKJV)

What would happen if you stopped and took notice of the things God has prepared for you in the past as well as the future? We are not a complicated creation to Him, but we are very complicated to us. He created us and the plans He has for us are geared to our character which He created. Let’s face it folks, we are the ones who mess things up.

Let’s stop, sit down with the Word of God, and thank Him first, then open that conversation with Him. He waits for that interchange. We stop the conversation with Him with an AMEN!!! I challenge us to open God’s Word and begin our prayers. He knows your heart in advance. Ask God to put it together for you so you can be better prepared for what He has planned. His preparation is His Word, the Bible. I know some folks who did this and they became so overwhelmed at God moving through the Holy Spirit that they became emotional. That’s okay! I have been through a lot and sometimes when I use this method it too overwhelms me. I simply cannot believe the depth of love that He has for me.

Yes, we can regret the past and ask forgiveness from God not only for our actions, but our intentions as well. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NKJV) Let’s ask Him to purify our hearts and start clean today. Grab a memory verse from your past. You can start with the 23rd Psalm but go slowly and one verse at a time.

Key Thought: A whole new outlook is where many of us need to start. But, God, what about my past poor decisions. 1 John 1:9 and move forward! And YES! It is that easy! God does not make it hard. We are the ones that make it complicated.

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind to Your presence that I may take today’s challenge before me that I can start anew, with Your plan from Your Word, In Jesus’ name I pray! AMEN!!!!

Have a Wonderfully Blessed 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 ...
