OUR ADDRESS IS GOD'S ARMS

 
Deuteronomy 33:27
 
"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you and said, 'Destroy.'" ESV 
 
We know that faith comes from hearing the Word. Our faith shows our ability to place our lives in God's hands. He cradles us in His eternal arms. As long as we choose to stay in His arms, we are safe from having to hide from His sight. His arms keep us from falling. They keep us from danger. They keep us!
 
Lord, all praise to You for Your everlasting arms that hold us and protect us. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we will know when we are trying to get out of Your arms to check out our own ideas and agendas. We know that we are safe in Your everlasting arms. In Your almighty name we pray, Amen.

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, LIVE IT!

 
1 Corinthians 4:20   
"For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power." ESV
 
 
We can talk about the things of God, quote scriptures, sing choruses, and state our beliefs, but there is no power in talking and discussing the things of God. The power of God is unleashed when we live God's Word and demonstrate His kingdom daily in our lives through the enabling of the Holy Spirit.
 
Heavenly Father, we ask for wisdom to keep from merely speaking words that have no power, but to live our lives in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, Amen.

LIVE UP TO OUR MATURITY IN CHRIST

 
Philippians 3:16


"Only let us live up to what we have already attained." NIV


"Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing." KJV


As Christians, we hunger for more of God, to know Him more, to be more like Him. That is a normal desire for true Christians. Sometimes we try so hard or go beyond what the Lord has revealed to us, and we stumble and fall. We fail to walk in the light we have been given thus far in our spiritual walk. We are strongly directed in the Word to make sure we live in the spiritual light we have already been given and keep going forward.


Heavenly Father, we probably look like small children trying to wear adult shoes in the way we live our spiritual lives. Forgive us. Help us to be aware of where we are in our walk with You and to live up to that before we try running ahead and stumbling. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
