Start Now - 12/28/22
Hey Family, today, I want you to ponder your 2022, and think about things you kept saying you were going to do or the things you said that you would stop. Both of these things should lead you to a place of improvement. After you figure out what that thing or those things are, talk to our Heavenly Father about whether or not this goal on your mind is of the flesh or Him. If it's of Him continue to speak to Him about the matter to determine how He wants you to approach this change of lifestyle to best bring honor and glory to Him. Finally, when you have confirmed your calling from the Lord, DO NOT hesitate. DO NOT procrastinate. DO NOT commit to your task with grumbling and complaining. By the grace and provision of God, hone your body, mind, and spirit to bear the weight of your cross with all zeal and perseverance to which you have been called.
Today's Prayer
"Dear Heavenly Father, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Planner of each breath, heartbeat, and step we take. Please show us the way that we should go. Attune our ears to Your voice more than ever. Open our eyes to Your much higher ways, that we might see a fuller picture of Your glory, power, and might. Lord, I want to want to please You and to have a life that is worthy and exemplary of the Gospel of Christ. I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you do not need to wait until the New Year to give your life to Christ. You can accept Him RIGHT NOW. Next year, 2023, tomorrow, and the next hour are ALL NOT PROMISED. If you feel a stirring in your spirit, chest, or stomach after reading this or know someone who needs to hear this please share this message with them and call out the Father for He is always listening and searching for eager and attentive hearts and minds. So, Lord, today I ask that the words that I have spoken and the thoughts that I have meditated on be pleasing in Your sight, for You are my Rock and my Redeemer, in Jesus Christ's beautiful name I pray Amen."
Scripture
Colossians 3:23-24
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
1 Peter 1:13-16
"Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Hebrews 6:10-12
"God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised."
James 4:13-17
"Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them."
