There is nothing wrong with being smarter today than you were yesterday. In fact, the Bible declares the virtue of having more knowledge.  Knowledge is the key component of obtaining      wisdom, which is the beginning point of a healthy fear of the Lord.  Knowledge of who Jesus is gives us the keys to unlock the kingdom doors on our journey.  Knowledge and wisdom are the principal things that will make promotions available to us spiritually, personally, and professionally.  There are many who would take advantage of our lack of knowledge, so it is important, for our own sake, to obtain more than we had before.  God has made it clear that one of the primary reasons that people perish is because they do not have enough knowledge.  We can take a leap of faith and learn something today that we did not know yesterday and strive to make that knowledge an instrument that allows us to please God.

The Lord hears the voice of His people.  Standing up for your Christian beliefs does not fit in with what the masses want to do, but it does not mean that His people should just give in to those who do not believe in Him.  God’s immutable nature does not change with the tide of human emotion or popularity.  The reassuring aspect of that is that He has declared to never forsake his people even when the winds of public opinion are blowing strongly against what His Word says.  When we needed a deliverer, He showed up.  When we needed food, He showed up.  When we needed comfort, He showed up.  When we needed a savior, He showed up.  God is still showing up for His people, so we must continue to stand on His Promises and be willing to endure the hardening that makes us good soldiers in His Army because there are still souls left to be saved.

Each person has been given their own set of gifts, talents, and abilities.  It does not mean that everyone has the same ones or an equal amount.  God has a reason for each person to operate on the level of life that they are at.  Some will stay at the level that they started, some will rise to a higher level and some will go down a level.  No matter if there is an increase or a decrease, there is an opportunity to bring   glory to God by our response to our circumstance.  Paul said it best when he declared that whether he is abased or abounding he has learned to be content no matter what state he is in.  Being content still requires that we strive to do our best because God is faithful to keep His promises toward us when we trust and obey Him.

God has a plan for every one of His people.  When we consider the    value of a mother. There are many hats that she wears.  A mother is a source of stability when the winds of life are blowing hard upon a child.  A mother is a healer and a comforter when the storms have left us battered and bruised.  A mother is a protector who tries to shield us from the pains of life.  A mother is a go-to person for the innermost thoughts that we think and an encourager for the dreams that we have.  A mother means so much to so many people that the only way we can truly appreciate the wonderful gift that she is from God is to say, “THANK YOU!!”  with all the love that we have to show her.

 Let’s make it our personal mission to stop wasting God’s time.  Far too many times people attend worship services out of obligation rather than taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity that has been laid before us to honor God.  When we pray, we can be more selfless by    focusing on how great He Is, and seek out what direction He has for us.  When we serve, we can be imitators of God by giving to Him the same level of excellence that He has shown to us.  Our character and reputation should be the same when we are at church as it is when we are out in the public.   We can be more faithful to Him by not robbing Him of our time, talents, and treasure.  Those who worship God can impact the world for His glory by expressing joyful and real praise rather than pretending for the sake of others.  When we put all of these things together, we will experience what it is to fulfill the plan He has for us and be more than conquerors!

There is a plan for our life that God is working.  Even though there may be times that we cannot see clearly the direction and the destination, there is still a plan at work.  Accomplishing the objectives of a plan requires that we commit ourselves to them, then our actions will be in support of the plan and goal.  In order to commit to something or someone we must have a level of trust that takes us beyond what we once did.  God has declared that His plan is to prosper us and do us no harm, therefore, if we want to have the blessing He has awaiting us, we must trust Him!  Our trust is expressed in how much we obey what His Word declares.  By trying it, we will discover that we can do it.

Busy! Busy! Busy!  That seems to be the standard for our lives today.  Too busy to stop.  Too busy to think.  Too busy for fun.  Too busy for friends.  Too busy for family.  Too busy for God.  There is a reason that God rested on the seventh day, He is our example.  There is a reason that God said that we should honor the Sabbath, keep it holy and make it be a day that we devote to Him.  When we rest, we get refreshed and our thinking becomes clearer.  When we rest, we get revived and our creativity is enhanced.  When we rest, we are saying to God that we believe Him and the example that He has shown us by taking one day out of seven and devote it to Him.  Let our actions be lined up with our words that declare our belief in God and His miraculous providing power.  Our victory is in Him which requires us to be IN HIM!

As the time of His departure was coming closer, Jesus issued to those who were with Him and generations to come a new command to love one another.  He said that this would be the way that people would know that we who profess Him as Lord of our life are His disciples.  What great wisdom He shows us because He had already explained on another occasion that the Greatest Commandment was to love the Lord and to love your neighbor just as you love yourself.  All of the laws, all of the rules, all of the standards that we establish can be processed through the filter of authentic love.   Others have tried to remove God from this process by telling us that we cannot love someone else unless we first love ourselves.  Unconditional love has its foundation in the love that God has for us.  In spite of our faults, sins, or disobedience, God continues to extend His love to us.  Show the world who you follow today by doing something from a perspective of authentic love that does not look to be paid back.

There are several Psalms that encourage us to sing to the Lord.  No matter what our condition or circumstance is, we should sing to the Lord.  The Lord is our salvation so we should sing joyfully.  The Lord’s Glory is upon us so we should sing a new song that declare His wondrous works.  The Lord Reigns so we should sing a song of love for all that He does.  We should make a joyful noise unto the Lord in gladness.  There is nothing that we experience nor endure that the Lord is not there with His Mercy and His justice.  So, sing a song to the Lord with the way we live our life, that never ends proclaiming our hope, faith, and trust in Him.

Food is the fuel of the body.  It provides the appropriate nutrients for the organs to function properly.  Food is the source of the proteins that build muscle and the carbohydrates that spur on energy.  God’s Word is the food that fuels our souls and navigates our destiny.  When you need a pick me up, read The Word.  When you need encouragement, read the Word.  When you need to be enlightened, read the Word.  The Word of God is truly a lamp for our journey, and a light that shows the way.
