CAN WE BE SURE?

 

Psalm 18:30

 

"This God--his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him." ESV 

 

We have all questioned God or gotten angry with Him. We have all felt God has failed us or hasn't heard us. It is then that we stand on our faith, not our feelings, declaring that God is perfect, holy, and loving. We can choose to ignore our faith and the Holy Spirit. If we do that, we need to search our hearts to find if we have ever really known Him.

 

Lord Jesus, in our hearts we know You are the perfect, loving God. Forgive us for those times when we doubt and our faith is weak. Help us to bring honor to Your name no matter what is going on in our lives. In Your name we pray, Amen.

EXTREME MAKE OVER

 

 

Romans 12:1,2

 

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." ESV 

 

What exactly is a "living sacrifice?" It is dedication of our total selves to God. This includes giving our physical bodies. Just as Jesus gave His body for us through death, we willingly give our living bodies for His service. We give our minds to Him so that He will transform our thinking through prayer and study of the Word. We give Him our wills so that by obedience and faith, He changes us into victorious Christians. This is true worship.

 

Heavenly Father, we cannot offer ourselves as total living sacrifices without the help of the Holy Spirit. We ask that You help us to be open, ready, and willing to give ourselves totally to You. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

James 1:4

"And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." ESV

Trials and stressful things in this world can strengthen our faith. It is the measure of our faith that determines how much patience we have and how much we can persevere. If we can successfully stand strong in faith through trials and tribulations in this world, we will be mature and complete in Christ.

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are for the measure of faith You have given us. We ask You to help us exercise this faith so that we can persevere through the trials and tribulations we face in this world. We desire to be made whole. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
