All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more
and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
In the post “Reward for the Soul”, the rich and powerful
had oppressed the poor and there was idol worship throughout the land. The time
had come for God’s judgment. Just like in the times of Amos, people today look
for answers to life’s problems in the wrong places.
As the main point in this song: First – Lauren Daigle, the solution to
our challenges each day can be found by seeking God first before anything else.
Enjoy today’s inspiring music and have a blessed day?
Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong. - Job
6:24
We can’t be assured of the
proper guidance from experts or by using apps or maps. Experts can have many misses as they tell us what is best for us in
our life. That’s why the greatest learning in life comes from God’s Word and by
following His Way.
That’s not to say that we can’t
learn from others but many times, the whizzes in certain fields tend to have an
agenda. Keep in mind that those who have our best interest in mind are the ones
to follow; people like our parents and grandparents.
One time, my daughter stayed
with her cousins in my hometown about 60 miles east of where we currently live.
I was going over to pick her up but on the way over, I ran into a
downpour. It was so much rain that a part
of the highway that goes under a railroad track was flooded. Being from that
town, I remembered my dad and grandfather taking another route nearby that went
over the tracks instead of under the tracks and then back onto the highway. I
took the route and noticed behind me about five other vehicles following me.
No map or app showed the way but
experience and following what I had learned growing up got us to where we
needed to go. It is much the same in a life with Christ. The experiences we go
through and learning how Jesus lived as recorded in the Gospels will lead us to
where we need to go.
Some days seem like a fight. We
have doubt and we have things that happen that brings us to our knees. It is
during these times that we need to go to the ONE who knows. The experts in
various fields may have a personal agenda but God has our best interest in mind
so lift up your eyes to Him today and receive inspiration from today’s video: He Knows – Jeremy Camp.
In the post “Paying Attention to Your Dreams”, written
about was Paul’s vision of the man of Macedonia. Paul received this vision as
he was sharing God’s Word on his missionary journey and was not sure which
direction they should go. Should they share God’s word in Asia or in Europe?
Paul and his companions
immediately followed the direction of the Holy Spirit and went towards
Macedonia in Europe. We should take this lesson and also pay attention to our
dreams and take action. God blesses those who seek His advice and follow
through on His guidance.
This day with God will be
amazing if we put His guidance into practice. Receive inspiration from this
video: What Can I Do – Paul Baloche
and put all your hope in God to guide you into the right places at the right
time today. Hear and visualize the direction or plans received from God today.
Then carry out these plans so that your visions
of hope become actions of a blessed reality.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the
law, happy is he. - Proverbs 29:18
